    摘要: A method includes loading a clock divider counter with most significant bits (MSBs) of a divider value, decrementing the counter at a same edge of each pulse of a clock signal, and comparing a value contained in the counter to a reference value and generating an end count signal if the value contained in the counter matches the reference value. If the value is even, the reference value is set to 1. If the value is odd, the reference value is set to 1, except for every other assertion of the end count signal, where the reference value is instead set to 0. A toggle signal transitions at a same edge of each pulse of the end count signal. The counter is reloaded with MSBs of the divider value based upon the end count signal. A divided version of the clock signal is generated based upon the toggle signal.

    摘要: A circuit includes a counter circuit, a logic circuit, and a clock divider. The counter circuit includes a clock divider counter to be loaded with most significant bits of a divider value, and decremented at a same edge of each pulse of a clock signal. The logic circuit compares a value contained in the divider counter to a reference value and generates an end count signal as a function of the value contained in the divider counter matching the reference value, and transitions a toggle signal at a same edge of each pulse of the end count signal. The clock divider counter is reloaded with the most significant bits of the divider value as a function of the end count signal. The clock divider generates a divided version of the clock signal as a function of the toggle signal.

    摘要: A glitch detector includes an input flip-flop clocked by a clock signal and having a non-inverting data output, an inverting data output, and a data input receiving input from the inverting data output, the input flip-flop generating a divided version of the clock signal at the non-inverting data output. A configurable delay chain receives the divided version of the clock signal and generates a delayed version of the divided version of the clock signal as a delay output. An intermediate flip-flop clocked by the clock signal has a data input receiving the delay output, the intermediate flip-flop generating an intermediate output as a function of the delay output. A logic circuit receives the divided version of the clock signal and the intermediate output, and generates a glitch detect signal by performing a logical operation on the divided version of the clock signal and the intermediate output.

    摘要: An electronic device includes clock generation circuitry. The clock generation circuitry includes a first flip flop receiving as input a device clock and being triggered by an input clock and a second flip flop receiving, as input, output from the first flip flop and being triggered by the input clock. A first inverter receives output from the first flip flop as input and a second inverter receives output from the second flip flop as input. A first AND gate receives, as input, output from the second flip flop and the first inverter, and generates a first clock as output. A second AND gate receives, as input, output from the first flip flop and the second inverter, and generates a second clock as output.

    摘要: Configurable flip-flop cells for use in scan chain configurations include one or more multiplexers, a flip-flop, and one or more logic gates. The logic gates are configurable, through modification of different metallization or semiconductor layers, to operate as spare gates or to disable flip-flop cell outputs based selection signal switching between scan shift and capture mode. When disabling flip-flop cell outputs, the logic gates are configured to receive both a test signal and a data input signal and select one of the two to pass to the flip-flop based on the selection signal. When used as spare gates, the logic gates receive external inputs and provide spare gate outputs to circuitry on an integrated circuit that is external to the flip-flop cells.
