    摘要: A compensation circuit for reducing power consumption in at least one digital circuit includes a first sample circuit connected to a first supply voltage, a second sample circuit connected to a second supply voltage, and a controller connected to the first and second sample circuits. The first and second sample circuits are substantially functionally equivalent to one another but optimized for different regions of operation within a specified range of PVT conditions. The controller is operative to receive respective output signals from the first and second sample circuits, to monitor a functionality of the second sample circuit relative to the first sample circuit, and to adjust a level of the second supply voltage to ensure correct operation of the second sample circuit throughout the specified range of PVT conditions. The digital circuit is operative from the second supply voltage.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for improved startup of a voltage controlled delay loop that has an injection clock and a return clock. A control signal is determined for a plurality of delay elements in a voltage controlled delay loop by obtaining a histogram count of a number of occurrences of at least one predefined logic value for a plurality of delay settings of the voltage controlled delay loop; determining a histogram count that approximately corresponds to an alignment of at least one edge in the injection and return clocks; and determining the control signal based on the determined histogram count that approximately corresponds to the alignment. The voltage controlled delay loop can be started using the determined control signal. The histogram count can be obtained for a plurality of PVT combinations and the control signal can then be determined for each PVT combination.
