    Abstract: A system and a method to improve signal synchronization in a plurality of signal paths traversing multiple voltage domains. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure a memory arrangement is preferred for signal synchronization. All read/write and clocks signals and other control signals are driven to periphery supply (Vp) levels, except wordline (WL[i]) signals which are driven at core supply (Vc) level. By doing so, lower average and peak current consumption associated with core supply (Vc) is achieved with constant delays and maintaining required signal synchronization in the signal paths traversing multiple voltage domains.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a high voltage switching module having reduced stress at its driver output stage which in turn controls the gate of a transistor requiring a high current drive. The switching module includes a negative elevating circuit, a delay module, a pull-up circuit, and a pull down circuit. The negative elevating circuit senses a transition of a logic input signal to generate a control signal. The first pull-up circuit is operatively coupled to this control signal for switching the driver output from a negative voltage to a ground voltage. There is an additional delay module which is configured to provide a delay in the logic input signal. This delayed logic input signal is operatively coupled to the second pull-up stage which takes the output of the driver from GND to VDD. The pull-down circuit is operatively coupled to the negative elevator for controlling a voltage at the driver output to the negative level. The module further comprises a switching circuit that is operatively coupled to the driver output for controlling the passing of a high voltage with high current requirements.

    Abstract: A phase locked loop (PLL) architecture provides voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) gain compensation across process and temperature. A simulator may be used to calculate the control voltages for the maximum and minimum output frequency of the VCO for each combination of the process and temperature corners. The maximum and minimum values of control voltage are then selected from these control voltages. Using a counter, the number of cycles of VCO in some cycles of the PLL input clock are counted in binary form and stored in latches for the extreme control voltages. The difference between them and the corresponding difference for typical process and temperature corner is used to modify the charge pump to change the current delivered to the loop filter. After the charge pump bits have been decided, the input control voltage of the VCO connects to the charge pump output to start the normal operation of the PLL.
