    摘要: A method for inputting and/or outputting signals having a selectable sample rate in a time-synchronized manner on a group of input and/or output channels of an electronic circuit includes: configuring each channel of the group at a standard sample period; synchronously initiating all the channels of the group at the standard sample period; detecting an entry for a modified sample period TPeriod of a first channel of the group; detecting a current counter value TCounter; configuring the first channel at the modified sample period; establishing a waiting time of TWaiting clocks in accordance with TWaiting=TPeriod−mod(TCounter, TPeriod), where mod(TCounter, TPeriod) denotes the division remainder from the current counter value TCounter and the modified sample period TPeriod; and initiating the first channel after the waiting time TWaiting.

    摘要: A method for synchronizing time may include receiving initial time information including an initial timestamp from a first device, adjusting a clock of the device with the initial time information, storing the initial time information as an earliest possible time, receiving additional time information, including a second timestamp, from a second device, and evaluating the additional time information. When the evaluated additional time information includes information that is unacceptable, the method may further include adjusting the clock with the second timestamp, and replacing the earliest possible time with the second timestamp. When the evaluated additional time information includes information that is acceptable, the method may further include adjusting the clock with the additional time information, and replacing the earliest possible time with the additional time information. The initial time information and additional time information may be respectively determined based on reconciled time data received from two or more proximate devices.

    摘要: A circuit for controlling a switch of a power converter includes a first clock signal generator configured to generate a first clock signal and a switching signal generator configured to generate a switching signal to control the switch of the power converter based on the first clock signal. The circuit further includes error detection circuitry configured to output an error indication and a second clock signal generator configured to generate, in response to the error indication, a second clock signal that comprises an edge of a clock cycle of the second clock signal that corresponds to when the switching signal deactivates the switch of the power converter plus a time delay. The switching signal generator is configured to generate the switching signal to control the switch of the power converter further based on the second clock signal in response to the error indication being output by the error detection circuitry.

    摘要: In order to reduce errors in the transfer of time from one clock domain to another clock domain, a first free running counter is incremented using a first clock signal. A free running second counter is incremented using a second clock signal, the second clock signal being asynchronous to the first clock signal. The first counter is sampled at a selected time based on a predetermined phase relationship between the first clock signal and the second clock signal to generate a sampled first counter value. The second counter is corrected based on the sampled first counter value.

    摘要: In a real-time system having first and second processor systems, cooperative dynamic clock and voltage scaling (“DCVS”) may include a first processor system monitoring a condition indicative of first processor workload, adjusting a first processor operating frequency in response to a detected amount of change in the first processor workload, and providing an indication based on the detected amount of change in the first processor workload to the second processor contemporaneously with providing first processor output data to the second processor. The cooperative DCVS may further include the second processor system adjusting a second processor operating frequency in response to the indication.
