    摘要: A realignment ring-cell circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a single-to-differential unit, an OR gate, an AND gate, a first P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor, and a first N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor. The single-to-differential unit has an input configured to receive a realignment signal, a first output for outputting a first differential output and a second output for outputting a second differential output. The first output for outputting is a first input to the OR gate. The second output for outputting is a first input to the AND gate. A gate of the P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor is electrically connected to an output of the OR gate. A gate of the N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor is electrically connected to an output of the AND gate. A drain of the P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor and a drain of the N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor are electrically connected to each other and are further electrically connected to a second input of the OR gate and a second input of the AND gate.

    摘要: A ring oscillator is provided. The ring oscillator includes a pseudo pass-gate inverter, a third transistor, a fourth transistor and a delay chain. The pseudo pass-gate inverter includes a first transistor and a second transistor in series. The third transistor is connected in series with the pseudo pass-gate inverter. The drain of the fourth transistor is connected to an output of the pseudo pass-gate inverter. The gate of the fourth transistor is connected to the gate of the third transistor to receive the realignment signal. The delay chain includes a plurality of delay cells. An input of the delay chain is connected to the output of the pseudo pass-gate inverter. When the realignment signal is in a realignment state, the third transistor is turned off, the fourth transistor is turned on.
