    摘要: In an electronic system having first and second logic devices, a free running on-chip clock signal is generated by the first logic device, where the signal has a frequency that is controlled to match that of a global free-running clock signal received by both devices. The on-chip clock signal is synchronized to a strobe signal received by the first device and that was transmitted in association with a data signal by the second device. A logic function is repeatedly performed as synchronized by the first clock signal, to repeatedly generate one or more bits from the data signal.

    摘要: A frequency control unit has an input to receive a digital downstream strobe signal and an output to provide a controlled delay to the input strobe signal. A downstream latch has a data input to receive a digital downstream data signal and a clock input coupled to the output of the frequency control unit. The controlled delay is essentially equal to a set up time of the latch. A delay element coupled to the output of the frequency control unit further delays the downstream strobe signal by essentially a propagation time of the latch. Output drivers are coupled to the outputs of the latch and the delay element.

    摘要: A multiply-accumulate circuit includes a compressor tree to generate a product with a binary exponent and a mantissa in carry-save format. The product is converted into a number having a three bit exponent and a fifty-seven bit mantissa in carry-save format for accumulation. An adder circuit accumulates the converted products in carry-save format. Because the products being summed are in carry-save format, post-normalization is avoided within the adder feedback loop. The adder operates on floating point number representations having exponents with a least significant bit weight of thirty-two, and exponent comparisons within the adder exponent path are limited in size. Variable shifters are avoided in the adder mantissa path. A single mantissa shift of thirty-two bits is provided by a conditional shifter.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for power throttling in a microprocessor. A voltage source supplies voltage to the microprocessor, and a clock source operates the microprocessor at a desired frequency. In one embodiment, a power monitor is configured to measure the short term power consumption of the microprocessor. In another embodiment, a temperature sensor measures the temperature of the microprocessor. Control logic is coupled to the voltage source and the clock source. The control logic receives an indication of the power consumption or temperature, as applicable, and compares it to a predetermined value. In response to the comparison, the control logic varies the supply voltage and the frequency.
