摘要： A dynamic processor configuration and power-up programs a processor's fuse block with configuration signals during processor manufacturing. The processor configuration signals include a core voltage identifier and a system bus frequency identifier. When power is applied to the platform, a control signal is used to prevent power-up of the platform's processor related circuitry. While the platform awaits full power-up, the fuse block is powered up. When the fuse block is powered up, the control signal is used to allow the configuration signals to be read from the fuse block. The processor is configured with core voltage and system bus frequency based on the values read from the fuse block. The platform then performs its boot-up sequence.

摘要： A driver/receiver circuit for use at one end of a simultaneous bi-directional differential signal line while being driven at the other end by a similar circuit. The driver/receiver circuit includes a differential driver, a differential receiver, an isolation circuit and an offset generator. The differential driver drives differential signal lines as a function of an output signal. The differential amplifier detects the differential voltage across the differential signal lines via the isolation circuit. The offset generator circuit receives the output signal and, in response, adds an offset to the input terminals of the differential amplifier. The offset cancels at least a portion of the differential voltage across the input terminals of the differential amplifier that results from the DOUT signal. The isolation circuit prevents the offset from significantly affecting the voltage across the differential signal lines.

摘要： An apparatus and method for detecting and measuring internal clock jitter is disclosed. In one embodiment, a reference clock generator generates a reference clock signal based on an instantaneous clock signal. The reference clock signal includes the instantaneous clock signal delayed for an average duration. A phase comparing element receives both the instantaneous clock signal and the reference clock signal such that the phase comparing element measures a phase difference between the instantaneous clock signal and the reference clock signal. The magnitude and direction of the phase difference is indicated by one of a number of distinct phase difference bins in the phase comparing element.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention include a trio of reliability oscillators. In one embodiment, an on-chip frequency compensation circuit includes a selectively enabled reliability oscillator to generate a reference oscillating signal, a clocked reliability oscillator to generate an AC degraded oscillating signal, and a static reliability oscillator to generate a DC bias degraded oscillating signal. A compare circuit coupled to the reliability oscillators compares the oscillating signals and generates a frequency compensation signal if the comparison determines that there is frequency degradation greater than a predetermined threshold.
