    摘要: A programmable Local Clock Buffer has a single inverter between the clock input and the delayed clock output. A transistor switch modulates the single inverter stage between a clock signal transmit state and a non-transmitting state. A combination of delay select bits control the timing of the beginning and ending of the transmit state of the inverter relative to the clock input via the transistor switch.

    摘要: A method and system of accessing memory cells within a dynamic hardware memory block operated with a bitline precharge circuit, in which differential read/write access operations are performed by activating complementary bitlines. A reduction in power dissipation is realized by determining whether a next access operation following a current access operation is a read or write access, and performing a precharge of the bitlines of the array only when a read operation follows the current access operation. A conventional precharge control signal is combined with an external control signal indicating if the next cycle is a read cycle. The combination of the two signals can be used, for example, as input to a simple AND gate to generate an effective precharge signal. The effective precharge signal permits precharging of bitlines only when those bitlines are used for read access in a respective next cycle.

    摘要: A clock stretcher mechanism is provided for shifting a rising edge of a negative active global clock signal beyond a rising edge of a feedback path signal. A negative active global clock signal and a clock chopper signal are received in a base block. First base block circuitry modifies the clock chopper signal in order to form the feedback path signal. Second base block circuitry shifts the rising edge of the negative active global clock signal beyond the rising edge of the feedback path signal using a delay negative active global clock signal.

    摘要: A pulsewidth modulation circuit uses a plurality of programmable paths to connect its output line to ground connections. The paths have different numbers of serially-connected NFETs to provide different pulldown rates. A desired programmable paths is selected based on encoded control signals, with decode logic integrated into the programmable paths. The decode logic includes, for each path, at least two transistors controlled by one of the encoded signals or their complements. A default path to ground may also be provided for use when none of the programmable paths is selected. For example, two encoded signals may be used to select 1-in-4 among the default path and three programmable paths. Integration of the decode logic into the programmable paths results in smaller overall circuit area, leading to reduced power usage, while still retaining the orthogonal benefit of encoded control signals.
