    摘要: An integrated circuit device includes functional logic, an anti-noise machine, and state monitoring points providing the anti-noise machine with an interface to the functional logic for monitoring states of the functional logic. The anti-noise machine includes indicia defining noise precursor states for the functional logic, and recognition logic coupled to the state monitoring points. The anti-noise machine is operable to generate anti-noise responsive to the recognition logic detecting in the functional logic noise precursor states matching the indicia.

    摘要: A clock distribution network, structure, and method for providing balanced loading is disclosed. In particular, a clock distribution network may be formed of one or more clock fanout distribution levels. Each respective distribution level may include an equal number of buffer circuits and wiring routes that have substantially identical physical and electrical properties. Additionally, a final distribution level may include wiring routes that have substantially identical physical and electrical properties connecting buffer circuits to one or more logic leaf connection nodes.

    摘要: A method of balancing signal interconnect path delays between an analog domain and a digital domain of an integrated circuit includes applying a test signal to a selected one of a plurality of communication paths between the analog domain and the digital domain. A rising edge delay and a falling edge delay of the test signal is equalized by adjusting a body bias voltage of a delay element configured within the selected communication path. A rising edge delay and a falling edge delay for each of the remaining communication paths is compared with the equalized rising edge delay and falling edge delay of the selected communication path, and a body bias voltage for one or more of a plurality of delay elements configured within each of the remaining communication paths is adjusted until corresponding rising and falling edge delays thereof match the equalized rising edge delay and falling edge delay of the selected communication path.
