摘要： A one-wire clock-skew compensating method and a circuit for the method are disclosed to solve the clock-skew problem in transmission of clock signals in a high-speed synchronous circuit such as of a CPU, hence the clock of a remote circuit and the clock input of the system can be accurately synchronized. The method is based on the principle of identical propagation delay on the forward and reverse paths at the two ends of one wire in transmission and receiving; a clock-deskew buffer composing a delay locked loop and a bidirectional buffer is provided in the front of the signal transmission end of the wire, while the other end of the wire has a bidirectional buffer too, hence signals are transmitted bidirectionally at the same time on the wire. When a signal is transmitted from the clock-deskew buffer to the latter bidirectional buffer through the forward and reverse paths, its arrival time is accurately controlled to avoid errors in dealing with signals due to phase difference between a reference clock and a remote clock as in conventional techniques.

摘要： The invention of the "high-frequency CMOS dual/multi modulus prescaler" is a new application in this field. Compared to other transistors which have CMOS technology, this invention has a greater potential for high frequency operations. Additionally, it has a low-power consumption property and can be easily integrated with CMOS technology. We propose a general construction of the prescaler which can be applied to dual-modulus prescaler. First, a divide-by-3/4 dual-modulus prescaler and a divide-by-4/5 one are presented. Consequently, a general dual-modulus prescaler is developed based on the same technique. Moreover, a general multi-modulus prescaler will also be achieved. The operating frequency can be up to 1 GHz for the proposed dual/multiple modulus prescalers which are fabricated in a 0.8-.mu.m SPDM CMOS technology.
