    摘要: A frequency multiplier design that uses a flip-flop to output (1) a first edge on an output clock signal upon receipt of a first transition of an input clock signal and (2) a second edge on the output clock signal before receipt of a second transition of the input clock signal is provided. The frequency multiplier design uses circuitry dependent on the output clock signal to reset the flip-flop after some delay but before the second transition of the input clock signal, wherein the resetting of the flip-flop causes the flip-flop to output the second edge on the output clock signal.

    摘要: A device that uses an input clock signal to generate an output clock signal with a desired frequency is provided. The device uses a voltage controlled delay element that outputs a reset signal to a flip-flop dependent on a bias signal and the input clock signal. When triggered, the flip-flop outputs a transition on the output clock signal, which, in turn, serves as an input to a duty cycle corrector that generates the bias signal dependent on the configuration of the duty cycle corrector. The duty cycle corrector may be configured to generate the bias signal so as to be able to operatively control the duty cycle of the output clock signal.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for assigning a set of region-based voltage drop budgets to an integrated circuit is provided. Further, a method for partitioning an integrated circuit into optimal voltage drop regions includes analyzing the integrated circuit for worst-case voltage drop data. The worst-case voltage drop data is used to partition the integrated circuit into a set of voltage drop regions, wherein each voltage drop region is assigned a region-based voltage drop budget. The region-based voltage drop budget assigned to a particular voltage drop region is based on a worst-case voltage drop experienced by that voltage drop region.

    摘要: A phase locked loop design uses a diode operatively connected to a loop filter capacitor to control a leakage current of the loop filter capacitor. By positioning a diode in series with the loop filter capacitor, a voltage potential across the loop filter capacitor is reduced, thereby reducing the leakage current of the loop filter capacitor. Moreover, the leakage current of the loop filter capacitor is controlled in that it cannot exceed the current through the diode. Control and reduction of the loop filter capacitor leakage current leads to more reliable and stable phase locked loop behavior.
