    摘要: A phase selectable divider circuit includes a select circuit receiving a plurality of signals having a common frequency and a different phase. One of the plurality of signals, having a first phase, is selected as a selector circuit output signal. A first value corresponding to the first phase is summed with a second value corresponding to a phase offset from the first phase to generate a sum indicative thereof. That sum is used to select a second one of the signals having a second phase as the next selector circuit output signal. As successive sums are generated, a pulse train is supplied by selector circuit having a desired frequency.

    摘要: An energy-to-pulse (E2P) converter for converting analog voltage and current measurements into digital power consumption readout that has an improved output frequency range and can eliminate the potential information loss in a multiple-wires and multiple-phases power distribution system without added complex hardware. The E2P uses a threshold value T in determining the output pulse count which represents the energy/power consumption. The energy consumption E is updated every cycle of a first clock rate F1 during which a power P calculation is performed following a voltage V and a current I analog-to digital conversion. The updated energy consumption E is then divided by the threshold value T to determine the number of pulses that correspond to the power consumption. The number of pulses are output at a second clock rate F2. In so doing, more than one pulse can be generated for each P calculation thereby improving the output frequency range. To prevent complete signal overlaps that may lead to information loss in multiple-wires and multiple-phases power system, the pulse output for each wire can be programmed to have a different phase such that the pulses from the pulse outputs, which are all synchronous with each other, are non-overlapped.

    摘要: A memory power controller comprises a clock generation circuitry for generating a first clock signal and a second clock signal responsive to a source clock and a determination that the source clock has a period greater than a predetermined value. The first clock is generated responsive to a determination that the source clock has a period greater than the predetermined value and the second clock is generated responsive to the determination that the source clock has a period less than the predetermined value. Memory time-out circuitry generates a memory enable/disable signal to control operation of an associated memory responsive to the clock signal and the determination that the source clock has a period greater than the predetermined value. The memory time-out circuitry further synchronizes the memory enable/disable signal with the source clock.

    摘要: A reduced power FIR filter may be utilized as the digital decimation filter for a delta sigma ADC. The FIR filter utilizes a serial bit stream which is part of the control path of the filter. Thus, operations of the circuitry which comprises the filter may be controlled depending upon the data presented at the output of the delta sigma modulator. In particular, filter operations may be enabled only for a given digital state, for example, a digital 1 state. Thus, the filter operations may be enabled only for typically half of the bits from the serial bit stream and the power usage of the digital filter is significantly reduced.
