    摘要： An integrated circuit designed to reduce on-chip noise coupling. In one embodiment, circuit (60) includes the following: a circuit transformer (62) capable of converting a noise sensitive input reference clock signal to an output signal having a voltage compatible with a predetermined sink voltage logic level; and a biased receiver network (64) having a PFET current mirror (74) coupled with a NFET current (72), the biased receiver transistor network designed to multiply the transformer signal to offset a mutual coupling loss of the transformer. In at least one alternative embodiment, the input reference clock signal originates at an off-chip clock generator circuit (42) and the output signal from receiver (64) is input to a PLL (44). In another alternative embodiment, the transformer is a monolithic integrated transformer. Another alternative embodiment of the present invention is a method of reducing on-chip noise coupling.

    摘要： A structure and method for damping LC (inductance-capacitance) ringing in integrated circuit (IC) power distribution systems. The structure comprises a resistance electrically connected in parallel with a plurality of electrical switches. The resistance and electrical switches are electrically connected in series with the package and on-chip power distribution circuit. When on-chip switching activity creates a sudden and appreciable change in IC power demand the electrical switches are opened to temporarily increase the resistance in series with the power supply. This serves to dampen the power-distribution LC ringing. Later, the electrical switches are closed to shunt the series resistance and reduce the level of steady-state voltage drop in the power structure.

    摘要： A method, system and program product to measure performance of a device dedicated to a phase locked loop (PLL). A resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) model is produced to simulate the PLL. The RLC model and the device to be measured are mapped together into a test circuit and the characteristics of the test circuit is analyzed to determine whether the device, if attached to the PLL represented by the RLC model, can meet the required standard of performance. This invention can be used to measure the performance of all kinds of devices attached to all kinds of PLLs.

    摘要： A method in accordance with the invention for modeling period jitter for testing a modeled logic circuit. Clock signals can be derived from a phase lock loop having a voltage controlled oscillator for use to evaluate timing problems within a modeled circuit. An estimation of period jitter for the modeled clock signals can be made by considering the number of periods of the voltage controlled oscillator signal which generates the clock signal occurring within a test interval. By using the relationship as an index to a table, a value of period jitter may be obtained from a table which increases longer the timing interval being considered. Instructions for carrying out the steps of correcting intervals between clock signals used in static timing tests may be stored on a computer readable medium along with a table containing the amount of period jitter as a function of the number of VCO periods occurring within a testing period. The improved accuracy in period jitter estimation improves the reliability of static testing of modeled circuits.

    摘要： A structure and associated method to allow an oscillator circuit to operate with a plurality of different crystals. The oscillator circuit comprises a semiconductor device and a crystal. The semiconductor device comprises a primary inverting amplifier and a programmable damping resistor. The crystal is electrically coupled to the primary inverting amplifier. A resistance value of the programmable damping resistor is adapted to vary in order to control an amount of current flow from the primary inverting amplifier to the crystal. The amount of the current flow to the crystal is dependent upon an electrical property of the crystal.
