Abstract: An apparatus includes an oscillator circuit and a low-pass filter circuit coupled to an output terminal of the oscillator circuit. The apparatus further includes a first digital signal generator coupled to at least one of an output terminal of the low-pass filter circuit and the output terminal of the oscillator circuit and a second digital signal generator coupled to at least one of the output terminal of the low-pass filter circuit and the output terminal of the oscillator circuit. The second digital signal generator generates a second digital clock signal based on a non-differential signal output of the oscillator circuit. The apparatus further includes a radio frequency interference (RFI) detection circuit coupled to the first digital signal generator and the second digital signal generator. The RFI detection circuit detects RFI associated with the non-differential signal output of the oscillator circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are described, which prior to an event that could result in frequency overshoot, sends a signal to a voltage regulator or generator requesting a temporary supply voltage and/or current boost. This enables a clocking source, such as a phase locked loop (PLL) to lock fast while not needing any long-term voltage guard bands. The apparatus and scheme allows for on-the-fly change in supply voltage and/or clock frequency for a processor with little to no impact on Vmin. During the clock frequency overshoot, the supply voltage is temporarily boosted and then reduced down to the expected voltage level of the power supply. Such boost allows for absorbing the clock frequency overshoot impact. The supply voltage level can be reduced in a step-wise fashion to avoid any potential undershoot in clock frequency.
