    摘要: A time measurement device measures a time interval between input timings of first and second pulsed target signals. The device includes: a processor; a number-of-periods detector that detects, by using a clock signal with a predetermined clock frequency and a predetermined clock period, the time interval in units of the clock period; and a phase detection unit including a band-pass filter. The band-pass filter receives at least one of the first and second target signals as a filtering target signal and extracts a signal component of the clock frequency from the filtering target signal. The phase detection unit detects a phase difference between the extracted signal and the clock signal. The processor derives, by using a result detected by the number-of-periods detector and the detected phase difference, the time interval at a resolution finer than the clock period.

    摘要: A mechanism provides accurate time-based counters for scaling operating frequencies of microprocessors. The mechanism makes use of a time-based counter circuit configuration in which a fixed frequency clock is derived from a PLL of the clock generation circuit of the microprocessor and is used to feed the external and internal timebase logic as well as a timebase accumulator counter. The timebase accumulator counter accumulates the tick events from the timebase logic between two core clocks. The accumulated value is transferred to the core clock domain on every clock edge of a scalable clock and the accumulator is then reset. Because the accumulated ticks are transferred to the core clock domain before the accumulator is reset, no ticks are ever lost using the circuitry of the illustrative embodiment.
