    摘要: A data storage element comprises a master stage (MS) with a first and a second latch (LI, L2), an error stage (ES) and a slave stage (SLS). The first latch (LI) generates in a clocked fashion based on a clock signal (CLK, CLKT, CLKB) a first logical signal (DOUT1) based on an input signal (DATA) in relation to a first threshold level (TP1). The second latch generates (L2) in a clocked fashion based on the clock signal (CLK, CLKT, CLKB) a second logical signal (DOUT2) based on the input signal (DATA) in relation to a second threshold level (TP2). The second threshold level (TP2) is distinct from the first threshold level (TP1). The error stage provides an error signal (ER) with a first logical state if the first and the second logical signal (DOUT1 , DOUT2) have the same logical state, and with a second logical state they have different logical states. The slave stage (SLS) sets an output value (Q) of the data storage element to a common logical state of the first and the second logical signal (DOUT1 , DOUT2) when the error signal (ER) has the first logical state, and keeps the output value (Q) unchanged otherwise.

    摘要: An apparatus includes analog or mixed-signal circuitry that operates in response to a first signal, and digital circuitry that operates in response to a second signal. The apparatus further includes a signal retiming circuit. The signal retiming circuit retimes an output signal of a digital signal source to reduce interference between the digital circuitry and the analog or mixed-signal circuitry by retiming edges of the output signal of the digital signal source to fall on cycle boundaries of the first signal.

    摘要: A differential signal skew adjustment method includes: outputting a differential data signal including a first polarity signal and a second polarity signal from a transmission circuit in synchronization with a cycle of a reference clock; adjusting a phase of a detection clock obtained by dividing the reference clock in accordance with a phase of the first polarity signal; and adjusting a phase of the second polarity signal in accordance with an adjusted phase of the detection clock to adjust skew between the first polarity signal and the second polarity signal.
