    摘要: An apparatus and a method for making small frequency adjustments in a frequency synthesizer. The frequency synthesizer consists of the forward portion of a phase locked loop with feedback through a fixed frequency divider and the output of the forward portion of the phase locked loop connected to a dynamically variable frequency divider. By changing the constant of division in the variable frequency divider, the output of the frequency divider can be rapidly changed in small increments. The dynamically variable frequency divider is key to this design. This digital circuit stores the current divisor value and has an input for a new divisor value. When a signal is sent to switch to the new divisor value, the circuit uses an incrementer and associated logic to rapidly change to the new constant of division.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method for making high resolution frequency adjustments in a multistage frequency synthesizer. The initial stage of the frequency synthesizer is a conventional phase lock loop connected to a dynamically variable frequency divider. There are one or more intermediate stages that consist of the forward portion of a phase locked loop with feedback through a fixed frequency divider and connected to a dynamically variable frequency divider. The final stage consists of the forward portion of a phase locked loop with feedback through a fixed frequency divider and connected to another fixed frequency divider. By varying the constant of division in the variable frequency dividers in the circuit, fine frequency adjustments can be made very rapidly. The precision of the adjustments depends on the relative values of the frequency dividers and the number of intermediate stages in the system.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method for node synchronization that can be used in a heterogeneous computer system where nodes in the system do not share a common system clock. Time stamps, which are critically important, are attached to transaction requests. Time stamps are based on a “time of day” value, which may simply be a register incremented by a system clock. Since each node has its own system clock, the frequency of these clocks may drift which results in variation in the time stamp values. If the values drift too far apart, data updates may be lost. A frequency synthesizer capable of high resolution and rapid frequency adjustments can be connected to system clock. When a shift in phase between the master and slave time of day values is detected, the frequency synthesizer output can be changed by a small amount to bring the two signals back into phase.
