摘要:
A speed governor for an integrated circuit which prevents the operation of the integrated circuit above a selected frequency. The speed governor generates a frequency reference and compares the frequency reference to the frequency of the external clock signal that clocks the integrated circuit. As a result of the comparison, if the frequency of the input clock signal is greater than the frequency reference then operation of the integrated circuit is disrupted.

摘要:
In an integrated circuit for synthesizing a 50% duty cycle internal clock, the internal clock is synchronized with zero phase difference with respect to an external reference clock having a frequency that is equal to, or is a submultiple of, the synthesized internal clock. The duty cycle of the synthesized waveform is fixed and invariant with respect to the reference clock duty cycle. Synchronization of the two clocks is achieved by a delay-line-loop using a voltage controlled delay line with a nominal half period delay of the synthesized clock. The 50% duty cycle is achieved by a second control loop that has as its input both the reference and the inverted synthesized clock. This second loop drives the voltage controlled delay line with the synthesized internal clock signal. The integrated circuit clock synthesizer is intended to operate as an integral part of a microprocessor or a peripheral unit operating in a system having a common external reference clock.
摘要:
In an integrated circuit for synthesizing a 50% duty cycle internal clock, the internal clock is synchronized with zero phase difference with respect to an external reference clock having the same frequency. The duty cycle of the synthesized waveform is fixed and invariant with respect to the reference clock duty cycle. Synchronization of the two clocks is achieved by a delay-line-loop using an inverting voltage controlled delay line with a nominal half period delay. The 50% duty cycle is achieved by a second control loop that has as its input both the reference and synthesized clock. This second loop also shares the voltage controlled delay line with the delay-line-loop.
