    摘要: Disclosed are multiphase oscillators comprising a plurality of delay stages serially coupled in a loop by a plurality of nodes, with the loop being folded to provide two concentric rings of delay stages with equal numbers of allocated nodes. A second plurality of negative-resistance elements are provided, each element having a first output coupled to a node on the first concentric ring and a second output coupled to a node on the second concentric ring. Each such output switches between first and second voltage levels, and provides a negative resistance to a signal coupled to it during at least a portion of the transition between voltage levels. The outputs of an element switch to opposite voltage levels. With this construction, a high-voltage pulse propagates around the loop of delay stages, with a low-voltage pulse propagating behind it. Also disclosed are circuits to control the direction of pulse propagation.

    摘要: The present invention provides techniques, including a system and method, for improving speed in a flip-flop, having a pre-charged stage coupled to an evaluation stage. In one exemplary embodiment delay is reduced by using a conditional rather than an unconditional keeper, where the conditional keeper has the function of a keeper only under certain conditions. In some embodiments there is a conditional keeper in either the pre-charged stage or the evaluation stage or both stages. Another embodiment provides for the combining of the evaluation stage with one or more external logic functions.
