摘要: A timing margin sensor includes a delay circuit to generate a calibrated delay that corresponds to a known delay value of a logic circuit. Circuitry locks a first delay produced by the delay circuit to a clock period of a clock signal that is associated with the known delay value. A programmable selector adjusts the first delay to generate the calibrated delay, the calibrated delay including a timing margin component. Circuitry detects a change in supply voltage provided to the logic circuit based on a detected change in the calibrated delay. Clock adjustment circuitry selectively changes the clock period based on the detected change in the calibrated delay.

摘要: A method for operating a data interface circuit whereby calibration adjustments for data bit capture are made without disturbing normal system operation includes initially establishing, using a first calibration method where a data bit pattern received by the data interface circuit is predictable, an optimal sampling point for sampling data bits received by the data interface circuit, and during a normal system operation and without disturbing the normal system operation, performing a second calibration method where the data bit pattern received by the data interface circuit is unpredictable. The second calibration method determines an amount of a timing drift for received data bit edge transitions and adjusts the optimal timing point determined by the first calibration method to create a revised optimal timing point. The second calibration method samples fringe timing points associated with the transition edges of a data bit.

摘要: A delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit includes a low pass filter coupled to a phase detector, and a digitally controlled delay line (DCDL) coupled to the low pass filter. The DCDL includes an input terminal, an output terminal coupled to an input terminal of the phase detector, and stages that propagate a signal along a first path from the input terminal to a selectable return stage and along a second path from the return stage to the output terminal. Each stage includes first and second inverters that selectively propagate the signal along the first and second paths, a third inverter that selectively propagates the signal from the first path to the second path, and either fourth and fifth inverters that selectively propagate the signal along the first and second paths, or a sixth inverter that selectively propagates the signal from the first path to the second path.

摘要: On-chip spread spectrum synchronization between spread spectrum sources is provided. A spread spectrum amplitude of a signal of a spread spectrum reference clock is obtained using one or more delay lines of one or more delay elements in a skitter circuit. A spread width of the spread spectrum amplitude of the signal is determined, using one or more sticky latches in the skitter circuit, based on one or more edges of the signal. A delay line of the one or more delay elements corresponding to a falling edge of the spread width of the signal is identified using combinational circuitry of the skitter circuit. A spread spectrum signal of a spread spectrum slave clock is synchronized with the signal of the spread spectrum reference clock based on the delay line.

摘要: A memory package includes a plurality of memory chips, and an interface chip relaying communications between a controller and the plurality of memory chips and receiving a plurality of signals from the plurality of memory chips. The interface chip includes receivers outputting a data signal and a raw clock signal based on the plurality of signals, a delay circuit outputting a delay clock signal by applying an offset delay corresponding to ½ of one unit interval of the data signal and an additional delay to the raw clock signal, and a sampler sampling the data signal in synchronization with a clock signal. The delay circuit outputs the clock signal generated by removing the offset delay from the delay clock signal when the delay clock signal and the data signal have a phase difference corresponding to one unit interval of the data signal.
