    Abstract: Locked loops, delay lines, delay circuits, and methods for delaying signals are disclosed. An example delay circuit includes a delay line including a plurality of delay stages, each delay stage having an input and further having a single inverting delay device, and also includes a two-phase exit tree coupled to the delay line and configured to provide first and second output clock signals responsive to clock signals from inputs of the delay stages of the plurality of delay stages. Another example delay circuit includes a delay line configured to provide a plurality of delayed clock signals, each of the delayed clock signals having a delay relative to a previous delayed clock signal equal to a delay of a single inverting delay device. The example delay circuit also includes a two-phase exit tree configured to provide first and second output clock signals responsive to the delayed clock signals.

    Abstract: A time to digital circuit may provide a time measurement of an event, or a time measurement of a duration between multiple events. Various electronic devices may include one or more time to digital circuits. A time to digital circuit may include circuitry to use Thermometer Code for measuring the duration of the time. For example, the time to digital circuit may generate alternating signals using a ring oscillator when receiving an indication of an event. Moreover, the time to digital circuit may convert the alternating signals to a consistent signal with only one transition between high and low signals in multiple consecutive signals. Furthermore, the time to digital circuit may correct erroneous signal values of the consistent signals when multiple transitions between high and low signals in multiple consecutive signals occurs.

    Abstract: A jitter generator may include a duty cycle code generator that generates a duty cycle control signal and an input buffer that outputs a signal based on its duty cycle. The input buffer may be coupled to the duty cycle code generator and to a source of a clock signal. After receiving the clock signal, the input buffer outputs the clock signal having jitter relative to the clock signal received from the source. The jitter may be added at least in part by components of the input buffer offsetting different transitions of the clock signal according to the duty cycle. Jitter may be added when the duty cycle changes in response to changes in the duty cycle control signal, such as in response to number generator circuitry of the duty cycle code generator update its output number, in response to a mode change received from a controller, or the like.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for maintaining a duty cycle error counter. An example apparatus may a duty cycle detect circuit configured to receive a clock signal and to detect a duty cycle error of the clock signal. The duty cycle detect error includes a counter configured to store a count value indicating the duty cycle error using Gray code. The counter is adjusted in response to detection of non-zero duty cycle error, and the counter is configured to convert the count value from Gray code to binary code as a binary count value. The duty cycle detect circuit is further configured to provide a duty cycle error signal based on the binary count value. The example apparatus further comprising a duty cycle correction circuit configured to adjust a duty cycle of the clock signal based on the duty cycle error signal.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for preserving duty cycle at voltage domain boundaries. One example apparatus includes a complement generation circuit configured to generate a complementary signal responsive to an input signal. The complement generation circuit is configured to operate in a first voltage domain.

The compensation circuit is configured to operate in a second voltage domain. The apparatus also includes a phase mixing circuit configured to combine the complementary signal and the compensated signal to generate an output signal.
