    摘要: An apparatus is provided that includes a clock distribution network, a plurality of distributed oscillators provided about the clock distribution network so as to provide clock signals on the clock distribution network and a power control circuit to control power applied to the plurality of distributed oscillators. The power control circuit includes a bandgap device to produce a reference voltage based on a desired power level and a comparing/decision device to receive the reference voltage from the bandgap device and to receive the voltage signal from a source external to the apparatus. The comparing/decision device determines whether the signal received from the power source corresponds to the desired power level.

    摘要: An apparatus for deskewing clock signals in a synchronous digital system. The apparatus contains a phase detection circuit that receives a plurality of clock signals and generates an output based on a phase relationship between those clock signals. A controller then receives the output of the phase detector and determines which one of the plurality of clock signals requires adjustment based on the output of the phase detector and a bit from a delay shift register. The controller transmits a delay signal to one of a plurality of delay circuits which modifies the delay of the clock signal that the controller determined to require adjustment.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for optimizing clock distribution in a circuit to reduce the effect of power supply noise. Parameters are determined including: a response curve of a power source for a circuit, a delay sensitivity of a clock net in the circuit to the power source, a delay sensitivity of a data net in the circuit to the power source, a data delay for the data net, and a clock delay for the clock net. The clock delay is adjusted to reduce the effect of power supply noise on the data net. The adjusting is based on the response curve of the power source, the delay sensitivity of the clock net, the delay sensitivity of the data net, the data delay, and the clock delay. The adjusting includes adding a pre-distribution clock delay.

    摘要: A method for calibrating a delay element is described herein. In some embodiments, the method may include generating a clock signal with a clock edge, generating a reference signal with a reference edge using an adjustable delay line to delay the clock signal, and delaying a selected one of the clock signal and the reference signal through an array delay line having an array delay element with an array delay. In some embodiments, the method may further include adjusting the adjustable delay line to obtain a first adjustable delay so that the clock and reference edges are aligned on one side of the array delay element, adjusting the adjustable delay line to obtain a second adjustable delay so that the clock and reference edges are aligned on the other side of the array delay element, and ascertaining a delay difference between the first and the second adjustable delays to determine a value of the array delay provided by the array delay element. Other embodiments of the present invention may include, but are not limited to, apparatuses and systems adapted to facilitate practice of the above-described method.
