    摘要: A variable-path-length voltage-controlled oscillator circuit is provided. The oscillator circuit has a ring oscillator formed from a series of voltage-controlled inverter stages. The path length (i.e., the number of inverter stages) in the ring is selected based on path length configuration data stored in memory. The selected path length determines the nominal or center frequency of operation of the ring oscillator. The output frequency of the oscillator circuit is voltage-tuned about this center frequency by varying the delay of each inverter stage in the ring oscillator path. Various types of voltage-controlled inverter stages may be used, including current-starved inverter stages, variable-capacitive-load inverter stages, and differential-delay inverter stages. The voltage-controlled oscillator circuit may be used in a phase-locked loop on a programmable logic device for frequency synthesis or to eliminate clock skew.

    摘要: A programmable logic device has a plurality of conductors extending around its periphery for use in providing at least some of the signals needed for control of input/output (“I/O”) pins which are also disposed around the periphery of the device. These control signals may include clock signals, output enable signals, clock enable signals, clear signals, or the like. The conductors that thus extend around the periphery are segmented into plural segments that can either be used independently of one another or programmably stitched together and therefore used together.

    摘要: A loop circuit such as a delay lock loop or a phase lock loop includes circuitry for changing the strength of the lock after lock has been achieved. Before lock is achieved, the strength of the charge pump circuitry that controls the charge in the low-pass filter in the loop may be relatively weak. After lock has been achieved, the strength of the charge pump circuit may be increased so that the circuit can maintain its locked condition in a noisy environment.

    摘要: A loop circuit such as a delay lock loop or a phase lock loop includes circuitry for detecting when the output signal of the low-pass filter in the loop has either risen to a voltage which is relatively close to the power voltage of the circuit or has fallen to a voltage which is relatively close to the ground voltage of the circuit. In either case the circuitry reverses the significance of the phase frequency detector output signals that control whether the output voltage of the low-pass filter rises or falls. Alternatively or in addition, the phase frequency detector may be reset. Coarser adjustments may be made to the loop circuit downstream from the low-pass filter in response to a recurrence of the low-pass filter output voltage reaching either of the detected voltages mentioned above.
