    摘要: Methods and systems to generate multiple phases of a clock may include a delay locked loop (DLL) to generate a bias signal to control a delay time through DLL delay elements in response to a first clock, and a plurality of a quadrature slave delay lines (SDLs), each to generate a plurality of successively phase shifted clocks over a quadrant of a corresponding selected phase of a second clock. The SDLs may be biased with the DLL bias signal to control phase differences between the generated clocks. One or more phase interpolators, such as contention based phase interpolators, may be coupled to outputs of each SDL. A frequency of the second clock may be equal to or greater than a frequency of the first clock. The SDLs may be implemented with fewer delay elements than the DLL.

    摘要: A method and chip design are provided for reducing power consumption. A first functional block having a phase logic circuit may be provided in a first area of a chip. A second functional block having an edge-triggered circuit may be provided in a second area of the chip. Edge-triggered circuits within the second functional block may be replaced with dual edge-triggered circuits. Phase logic circuits may be clocked by a full frequency clock signal and dual edge-triggered circuits may be clocked by a half-frequency clock signal.

    摘要: Methods and systems to adjust a phase difference between signals, such as to perform quadrature phase correction. First and second signals are digitally compared, such as with exclusive OR circuitry, to provide a comparison signal having a duty cycle representative of a phase difference between the signals. A phase delay of one or both of the first and second signals is adjusted until the duty cycle of the comparison signal corresponds to a desired phase difference. In a clock and data recovery system, the signals may correspond to a zero degree phase of a first phase interpolator and a ninety degree phase of a second phase interpolator, and digital codes to the first and second phase interpolators may be adjusted to provide a fifty percent duty cycle in the comparison signal.
