    Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for generating debug information. The apparatus has processing circuitry for executing a sequence of instructions that includes a plurality of debug information triggering instructions, and debug information generating circuitry for coupling to a debug port. On executing a given debug information triggering instruction, the processing circuitry is arranged to trigger the debug information generating circuitry to generate a debug information signal whose form is dependent on a control parameter specified by the given debug information triggering instruction. The generated debug information signal is output from the debug port for reference by a debugger. The control parameter is such that the form of the debug information signal enables the debugger to determine a state of the processing circuitry when the given debug information triggering instruction was executed.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit has voltage generating circuitry for generating an on-chip voltage from a supply voltage in response to clock pulses. Clock control circuitry controls transmission of the clock pulses to the voltage generating circuitry. The clock control circuitry receives a reference voltage and a digital offset value comprising a binary numeric value identifying an offset. The clock control circuitry suppresses transmission of the clock pulses if the on-chip voltage is greater than the sum of the reference voltage and the offset identified by the digital offset value, to reduce power consumption. The offset can be tuned digitally to vary the average level of the on-chip voltage. A similar digital tuning mechanism may be used in a clocked comparator to compare a first voltage with a digitally tunable threshold voltage.
