    摘要: Localized logic regions of a circuit include a local comparator electrically connected to a local resistive voltage circuit, to a local resistive ground circuit, and to a local register structure. The local comparator supplies a clock pulse to the local register structures when the local reference voltage is below a local voltage threshold. Activity in the local combinatorial logic structure causes the local reference voltage to drop below the local reference voltage independently of changes in the global reference voltage causing the comparator to output the clock pulse (with sufficient delay to allow the logic results to be stored in the registers only after setup times have been met in the local logic devices). This eliminates the need for a clock distribution tree, thereby saving power when there is no activity in the local combinatorial logic structure.

    摘要: A design structure is embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing a design. The design structure includes a threshold register having a counter, a count register, and a non-volatile storage for storing a state when a value of the count register equals or exceeds a value of the threshold register.

    摘要: A solution for retaining a logic state of a processor pipeline architecture are disclosed. A comparator is positioned between two stages of the processor pipeline architecture. A storage capacitor is coupled between a storage node of the comparator and a ground to store an output of the early one of the two stages. A reference logic is provided, which has the same value as the output of the early stage. A logic storing and dividing device is coupled between the reference logic and a reference node of the comparator to generate a logic at the reference node, which is a fraction of the reference logic, and to retain a logic state of the information stored on the storage capacitor. Further mechanisms are provided to determine validity of data stored in the logic storing and dividing device.
