    摘要: Phase comparators for use in loop circuits (i.e., DLL circuits and PLL circuits) are provided. The phase comparators include a phase detector for comparing a reference clock signal and a feedback signal derived from the loop circuit generated internal clock signal. The phase comparators also include a low-pass noise filter for filtering out erroneously detected phase differences between the reference clock signal and the feedback signal by requiring a certain net number of leading or lagging detections before the compensation circuitry of the loop circuit (i.e., the controlled delay line in a DLL circuit or the controlled oscillator in a PLL circuit) is adjusted. The number of net measurements required before these adjustments take place depends on a programmable bandwidth signal provided to the phase comparator.

    摘要: A programmable I/O element for an I/O terminal of a logic array is suitable for operating according to high speed 110 modes such as double data rate and zero bus turnaround. The I/O element may include an input block with two registers for registering input signals from the terminal upon alternate clock edges. In addition or alternatively, it may include an output block with two registers that separately register output signals from the array on the same clock edge and a multiplexer that alternately outputs those signals. For bidirectional terminals, the multiplexer output is connectable to the I/O terminal via an output buffer, and an output enable block provides an enable signal to a gating input of the output buffer. Programmable delays may be included in the input, output, and output enable paths, in particular to provide a slower turn-on time than turn-off time for the output buffer.

    摘要: Delay associated with each of two signals along respective transmission paths is accurately measured using a delay measurement circuit that is fabricated in situ on the actual device where the circuitry for propagating the two signals is fabricated. Thus, the measured delay associated with each of the two signals is subject to the same fabrication-dependent attributes that affect the actual circuitry through which the two signals will be propagated during operation of the device. The skew between the two signals is quantified as the difference in the measured delays. Coarse and fine delay modules are defined within the transmission path of each of the two signals. Based on the measured skew between the two signals, the coarse and fine delay modules are appropriately set to compensate for the skew. The appropriately settings for the coarse and fine delay modules can be stored in non-volatile memory elements.

The output delay chain comprises a plurality of series-coupled second delay elements, an input for receiving the input signal, and a circuit for selectively tapping the output delay chain at a plurality of taps in the output delay chain so as to produce in the input signal different delays of integral multiples of the second delay.

    摘要: A feedback loop circuit includes a phase detector and delay circuits. The phase detector generates an output signal based on a delayed periodic signal. The delay circuits are coupled in a delay chain that delays the delayed periodic signal. Each of the delay circuits includes variable delay blocks and fixed delay blocks that are coupled to form at least two delay paths for an input signal through the delay circuit to generate a delayed output signal. Delays of the variable delay blocks in the delay circuits vary based on the output signal of the phase detector. Each of the delay circuits reroutes the input signal through a different one of the delay paths to generate the delayed output signal based on the output signal of the phase detector during operation of the feedback loop circuit.
