    摘要: A programmable logic block reduces output delay by bypassing a final slave latch when programmed to function as a shift register. The logic block includes memory cells, a multiplexer structure, and a bypass select multiplexer (BSM). The memory cells are coupled in series to form a shift register controlled by a shift clock, each bit including two paired memory cells implementing master and slave latches. Each memory cell drives an input terminal of the multiplexer structure. The BSM drives a select terminal of the multiplexer structure and selects one signal from each pair of the memory cells. The shift clock drives one data input terminal of the BSM. When in shift register mode, the shift clock simultaneously shifts a value in each master latch to the corresponding slave latch and selects a value from one of the master latches. The output path bypasses the slave latch of the selected bit.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for regulating voltage within an integrated circuit is described. For example, a voltage regulator receives a first reference voltage and produces a regulated voltage. A comparator includes a first input for receiving a second reference voltage and a second input for receiving the regulated voltage. The comparator includes an offset voltage. The comparator produces a control signal indicative of whether the difference between the second reference voltage and the regulated voltage is greater than a predetermined offset voltage. A clamp circuit clamps the regulated voltage to the second reference voltage in response to the control signal. In another example, the clamp circuit is removed and a multiplexer selects either a first reference voltage or a second reference voltage to be coupled to a voltage regulator. The multiplexer is controlled via output of a comparator that compares the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage.
