    摘要: Input/output (I/O) clock phase adjustment circuitry for use with I/O buffer circuitry of an integrated circuit chip. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit chip includes a phase adjustment circuit coupled to receive a system clock. The phase adjustment circuit generates an I/O clock coupled to be received by an I/O buffer circuit of an integrated circuit chip for I/O data transfers in a system. The phase adjustment circuit includes a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit coupled to receive the system clock through a first delay circuit. The I/O clock generated by the PLL circuit is received through a second delay circuit at a feedback clock input of the PLL circuit. The first and second delay circuits are used to control the phase of the I/O clock generated by the PLL circuit relative to the system clock. In one embodiment, a third delay circuit is included in an I/O data path of the I/O buffer circuit of the integrated circuit. The third delay circuit enables input and output data transmissions from the integrated circuit to be clocked, in effect, out of phase with the I/O clock generated by phase adjustment circuit.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for jitter reduction in a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) that includes determining a size of a original charge pump adequate to generate an appropriate control voltage to a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) of a PLL based on the charge pump receiving a single up signal or down signal within one cycle of a PLL input reference clock. N number of the up signal or down signal are generated to a second charge pump 1/N the size of the original charge pump. The N number of the up signal or the down signal occurs within one cycle of the PLL input reference clock. The second charge pump generates N second control voltage corrections each being 1/N the amplitude of the appropriate control voltage glitch, thus minimizing glitches on the second control voltages and reducing jitter to the VCO.

A reference clock signal is received in the transmitting device. An output clock signal is generated according to the received reference clock signal and a feedback clock signal in a phase locked loop. A delay is provided in a path of the reference clock signal and a path of the feedback clock signal.
