    摘要: A signal generator that provides signals for multiple outputs is presented. In some embodiments, a signal generator can include switching circuitry that is coupled to provide a signal to an active output of a plurality of outputs in response to control signals; a driver that provides the signal to the switching circuitry, the signal being at a frequency appropriate for the active output; and a logic that provides the control signals to the switching circuitry and provides a waveform to the driver, the waveform having the frequency appropriate for the active output, the control signals indicating which of the plurality of outputs is the active output.

    摘要: A clock generator that outputs multiphase clocks comprises a ring oscillator that includes a plurality of inverter circuits connected in a circular pattern and outputs, from the inverter circuits, clocks provided with a delay time based on a delay control signal, a first frequency divider that divides an injection clock by a first value and outputs the clock as a reference clock, a second frequency divider that divides one of the multiphase clocks by a second value and outputs the clock as a comparison clock, and a frequency comparator that compares frequencies of the reference clock and the comparison clock and output the delay control signal based on a result of the comparison. The ring oscillator is configured to adjust the delay time based on the delay control signal.

    摘要: A memory-like structure composed of variable resistor elements for use in tuning respective branches and leaves of a clock distribution structure, which may be used to compensate for chip-by-chip and/or combinatorial logic path-by-path delay variations, which may be due, for example, to physical variations in deep submicron devices and interconnections, is presented. A single system clocked scan flip-flop with the capability to perform delay test measurements is also presented. Methods for measuring combinatorial logic path delays to determine the maximum clock frequency and delays to program the variable resistors, as well as methods for calibrating and measuring the programmed variable resistors, are also presented.

    摘要: A clock generation device includes a first delay unit, a frequency divider, an angle delay unit and a first calculating unit. The first delay unit receives an input clock and delays the input clock by a first preset period to generate an input delay clock. The frequency divider divides a frequency of the delay clock to generate a first frequency-divided clock and a second frequency-divided clock. A frequency of each of the first frequency-divided clock and the second frequency-divided clock is a preset multiple of the input delay clock. The angle delay unit delays the first frequency-divided clock by a second preset period to generate a first delay clock. The first calculating unit determines a trigger time of a first edge of a first output clock with reference to voltage levels of the first frequency-divided clock and the first delay clock and determines a falling time of a second edge of the first output clock with reference to voltage levels of the input clock and the first delay clock.
