    摘要: A single droop detector and an asynchronous frequency recovery circuit may be used to slow down a frequency asynchronously when a voltage droop is detected and exit the droop event synchronously by gradually changing an electronic oscillator buffer capacitance until the frequency has been fully restored. This combination of a single droop detector and an asynchronous frequency recovery circuit may provide reduced detection and response latency. This solution may also provide improved performance in the presence of multiple voltage droop events that occur before a frequency has been fully restored from the previous droop. This solution also reduces or eliminates frequency overshoots and secondary voltage droops.

    摘要: Described herein is a method and apparatus to wake-up analog bias signals with minimum delay. The apparatus comprises a first logic unit operable to adjust a signal level of a gated bias signal via a first predetermined signal in response to a power-down event; a comparator operable to compare the gated bias signal with an un-gated bias signal, and operable to generate an output signal indicating the comparison result; and a self-timed logic unit coupled to the comparator and operable to generate a wake-up signal in response to an end of the power-down event and the output signal.

    摘要: Methods and systems to generate multiple phases of a clock may include a delay locked loop (DLL) to generate a bias signal to control a delay time through DLL delay elements in response to a first clock, and a plurality of a quadrature slave delay lines (SDLs), each to generate a plurality of successively phase shifted clocks over a quadrant of a corresponding selected phase of a second clock. The SDLs may be biased with the DLL bias signal to control phase differences between the generated clocks. One or more phase interpolators, such as contention based phase interpolators, may be coupled to outputs of each SDL. A frequency of the second clock may be equal to or greater than a frequency of the first clock. The SDLs may be implemented with fewer delay elements than the DLL.
