    摘要: An output buffer circuit includes an adjustable delay time and is coupled to a reference output buffer which includes an adjustable delay time and a fixed delay time. In one embodiment, a synchronous delay line circuit provides a reference signal having a predetermined delay time. The time delay is equal to 1/N of a clock signal cycle. The reference output buffer uses the reference signal to set a cumulative delay time for the reference output buffer equal to 1/N. The adjustable delay time of the output buffer is set equal to the adjustable time delay of the reference output buffer.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for biasing a charge pump in a phase locked loop in a circuit and generally for biasing a circuit through the use of a replica circuit. The method and apparatus make use of a replica circuit including substantially similar circuit elements to those circuit elements making up the circuit to be biased. Through the use of comparison and bias techniques, the replica circuit and the circuit to be biased are both biased. The bias conditions result from a comparison of the operation of the replica circuit and the circuit to be biased. Since the replica circuit operates in a manner substantially similar to an expected operation mode of the circuit to be biased, the bias conditions resulting from the comparisons will cause the circuit to be biased to operate similarly to how the replica circuit operates, while still handling external influences such as loading. Currents of two current sources within the circuit to be biased are equalized by biasing of one of the current sources responsive to the operation of both the circuit to be biased and a replica circuit. This equalization reduces the amount of error current erroneously added to or subtracted from a loop filter as a result of unequal currents flowing through the two current sources.

    摘要: Circuitry added to chips that use source synchronous techniques reduces difficulties associated with testing the chips. The circuitry increases the ability to use source synchronous techniques for data transmission. The circuitry is implemented in a delayed-lock loop (DLL) in either a transmitter (driver) or a receiver. The DLL measures the phase difference between a strobe signal and a delayed strobe signal. The DLL can be externally controlled by a source selectable input which allows the delay of the delayed strobe signal to be varied to test T.sub.setup and T.sub.hold in the receiver without varying the timings of the strobe signal and the data signals supplied to the chips. A timing measurement circuit having the strobe signal, the delayed strobe signal, and reference signals as inputs may be used to calibrate the phase difference between the strobe signal and delayed strobe signal.

    摘要: In a high-speed binary multiplier circuit, the multiplicand is segmented into a series of 8-bit slices and the multiplier is modified-Booth recorded into 3-bit groups. The corresponding partial product terms are reduced in a regular array of small carry-save adder (CSA) cells. Iterative use of the CSA array provides the Wallace tree function in one-seventh the chip area or number of adders of a conventional implementation. The multiplier and divider are pipelined internally, driven by a fast, two-phase internal clock that is transparent to the user. The internal clock stops and restarts upon loading new operand and instruction data to synchronize the internal clock to the system clock. Other aspects of the invention include two-speed internal clocking for operation and testing, two-node clock stopping and distributed buffering of system clock signals.
