摘要:
A clock multiplication and distribution system includes a first phase-lock-loop circuit, a second phase-lock-loop circuit, and a clock distribution network that electrically couples the first phase-lock-loop circuit and the second phase-lock-loop circuit. The first phase-lock-loop circuit may include a first feedback loop that includes a first integer divider circuit and may be configured to generate a first clock using a reference clock. A frequency of the first clock may be greater than a frequency of the reference clock. The second phase-lock-loop circuit may include a second feedback loop that includes a second integer divider circuit and may be configured to generate a second clock using the first clock. A frequency of the second clock may be greater than the frequency of the first clock.

A method may include obtaining gate-level circuit design data that describes a gate-level circuit design. The gate-level circuit design data may include one or more instances of each of multiple cells that each may be associated with a corresponding default cell static timing data and a corresponding default cell stress data. The method may include selecting one of the instances of one of the multiple cells, determining in-design stress data associated with the selected instance, and determining whether the in-design stress data is not within a tolerance of the default cell stress data. In response to the in-design stress data not being within the tolerance of the default cell stress data, the method may include generating in-design static timing data describing a timing performance for the selected instance and updating the gate-level circuit design data such that the selected instance is associated with the in-design static timing data.

A system for signal generation may include a phase-locked-loop including a first oscillator. The system may also include a second oscillator. The first oscillator may be configured to generate a first signal based on a phase-locked-loop control signal generated by the phase-locked-loop. The second oscillator may be configured to generate a second signal based on the phase-locked-loop control signal such that a free-running frequency of the first signal is approximately equal to a free-running frequency of the second signal to obtain injection locking between the first oscillator and the second oscillator when energy from the first oscillator is coupled into the second oscillator.

A digital duty-cycle correction circuit may include an adjustment unit that may be configured to adjust a duty cycle of an oscillating signal based on an adjust signal to generate an adjusted oscillating signal and a sampling unit that may be configured to sample the adjusted oscillating signal. The circuit may also include a counting unit that may be configured to generate an indication of a number of samples of the adjusted oscillating signal that are at the low and high level and to adjust the indication using a selectable duty cycle modify signal based on a desired duty cycle of the adjusting oscillating signal. The circuit may also include a comparing and filtering unit that may be configured to generate the adjust signal based on a comparison of the indication with a comparison count. The indication may be adjustable such that the oscillating signal's duty cycle is adjustable.
