    Abstract: Described herein is a method and apparatus to wake-up analog bias signals with minimum delay. The apparatus comprises a first logic unit operable to adjust a signal level of a gated bias signal via a first predetermined signal in response to a power-down event; a comparator operable to compare the gated bias signal with an un-gated bias signal, and operable to generate an output signal indicating the comparison result; and a self-timed logic unit coupled to the comparator and operable to generate a wake-up signal in response to an end of the power-down event and the output signal.

    Abstract: In a bypass mode, a tester may bypass the core and input/output phase locked loops (PLLs) utilized by a processor to develop internal clock signals. External, tester-generated, phase shifted clock signals may be used to generate aligned high frequency signals to replace those generated by the phase locked loops. A plurality of phase shifted, tester generated clock signals may be subjected to an exclusive OR operation for generating input/output and core clock replacement signals. The clock signals received from the tester may also be aligned. Thus, a variety of skews may be compensated before entering the bypass mode. In some embodiments of the present invention, the core and I/O PLL clocks are used to establish alignment in a set-up phase and in other embodiments, the core and I/O PLL need not be utilized at all to generate appropriate internal clock signals from an external tester.
