    摘要: A variable digital delay line with an insertion delay as low as a single delay element yet capable of providing a large programmable delay with a small simple control mechanism. A loop connects an input to an output through selectable first delay elements such as 2:1 muxes and selectable second delay elements such as pairs of inverters by way of a plurality of intermediate nodes having a tap. A plurality of sneak paths are available wherein the loop by passes a remainder of first delay elements and/or second delay elements by way of the taps at the intermediate nodes.

    摘要: A self-timed circuit for use a clocked logic system is disclosed that comprises a timing detection device for detecting a timing margin of a critical path, the critical path being a path that limits the speed of the system. The circuit further comprises increase logic for increasing the speed of the system clock if the timing margin allows it, and decrease logic for decreasing the speed of the system clock if the timing margin indicates such a need. The increase and decrease logic comprise threshold generator and reset logic, and clock control logic.

    摘要: A protective circuit for a phase lock loop ensures that the VCO does not initiate a runaway condition when outputting a signal having a frequency higher than the feedback divider can respond to. During normal phase lock operation, a counter keeps track of the PLL input signal and is reset by the feedback divider. In the runaway condition the counter is not reset and triggers a control signal to the VCO. A second counter can be used to keep track of the feedback divider output and to reset the first counter. When the first counter far outruns the second counter the control signal is triggered.

    摘要: An edge detector has a digital phase locking loop in which one of the signals (e.g., the data signal) is coupled to a delay chain that develops a series of incrementally phase delayed versions of the input. Adjacent phase delayed pairs are selected, one pair at a time, and are compared to the other signal (e.g., the clock signal) to determine if an edge of the clock falls between the edges of the data signal in the selected phase pair, or falls outside the edges of the selected phase pair, on one side or the other thereof. If the clock edge falls outside the selected pair, a control signal selects another pair for comparison and the process is repeated until, for example, the data edges are aligned with the positive going edge of the clock. With a clock frequency equal to twice data frequency, the data can then be sampled on the falling edge of the clock.

    摘要: A computer program product and a hub device for deriving clocks in a memory system are provided. The computer program product includes a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for facilitating a method. The method includes receiving a reference oscillator clock at the hub device. The hub device is in communication with a controller channel via a controller interface and in communication with a memory device via a memory interface. A base clock operating at a base clock frequency is derived from the reference oscillator clock. A memory interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a memory multiplier. A controller interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a controller multiplier. The memory interface clock is applied to the memory interface and the controller interface clock is applied to the controller interface.

    摘要: An electronic system having a power efficient differential signal between a first and second electronic unit. A controller uses information, such as compliance with data transmission rate requirement and bit error rate (BER) versus a BER threshold to control power modes such that a minimal amount of power is required. Amplitude of transmission and single ended or differential transmission of data are examples of the power modes. The controller also factors in a failing phase in a differential signal in selecting a minimal power mode that satisfies the transmission rate requirement of the BER threshold.
