    摘要: An integrated circuit has a plurality of sections, each having a phase detector and a control delay circuit. The phase detector, in response to a phase difference between a reference clock signal and a feedback signal from a portion of a clock grid, controls the delay of its associated clock delay circuit, which, in turn, outputs to the portion of the clock grid. The feedback signal to the phase detector may be connected to an output of a DLL or another portion of the clock grid controlled by a clock delay circuit not associated with the phase detector. Such an arrangement on the integrated circuit leads to clock grid skew reduction.

    摘要: A dual edge-triggered flip-flop that may be programmably reset independent of a clock signal is provided. Using an externally generated reset value, the dual edge-triggered flip-flop may be asynchronously programmed to reset to either a logical high or a logical low. Further, a dual edge-triggered flip-flop that may be set to multiple triggering modes is provided. Using an externally generated enable signal, the dual edge-triggered flip-flop may be set to function as a single edge-triggered or a dual edge-triggered device. Thus, the dual edge-triggered flip-flop may be used multiple types of computing environments.
