    摘要: A technique to mitigate noise spikes in an electronic circuit device such as an integrated circuit. The clock frequency of a clock signal used by the electronic circuit is controlled such that instantaneously large changes to the clock frequency are avoided by use of a frequency filter that is capable of generating frequency ramps having a linear slope which is used as a feedback signal in a digital phase-locked loop clock circuit in lieu of a discrete, stair-stepped feedback control signal.

    摘要: A digitally controlled circuit and method includes an error input coupled to a proportional path. The proportional path includes a selector which directly receives the error input as a select signal. The selector receives a proportional control weight from a location other than the proportional path wherein the proportional control weight is input to a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO).

    摘要: Clock synchronization and data recovery techniques are disclosed. For example, a technique for synchronizing a clock for use in recovering received data comprises the following steps/operations. A first clock (e.g., a data clock) is set for a first sampling cycle to a first phase position within a given unit interval in the received data. A second clock (e.g., a sweep clock) is swept through other phase positions with respect to the first phase position such that a transition from the given unit interval to another unit interval in the received data is determined. A sampling point is determined based on measurements at the phase positions associated with the second clock. The second clock is set to the phase position corresponding to the sampling point such that data may be recovered at that sampling point. Further, for a next sampling cycle, the first clock may be used to sweep through phase positions with respect to the set phase position of the second clock corresponding to the sampling point in the first sampling cycle such that a next sampling point may be determined.

    摘要: A control system for generating an electronic circuit clock signal that can optimize operating frequency margins by responding to short term effects by quickly varying the clock frequency and long term effects by finding an optimal frequency point. A sensor indicates frequency margins associated with safe use of the clock signal, and these frequency margins are input into a frequency compensator and used to determine whether the system is operating within acceptable margins, or alternatively to modify the operating clock frequency on a short-term basis in order to achieve acceptable operating margins. The requests for frequency adjustment by the frequency compensator are provided to a frequency filter, which combines such request with a maintained/accumulated history of previous short-term frequency requests that have previously been made in order to determine whether an update needs to be made to the target frequency to provide long-term frequency control.
