摘要: An apparatus enables a high-bandwidth 4-way data serializing (4:1 serializer) digital-to-analog converter. The apparatus uses active inductor-based bandwidth extension technique for two-stage driver enabling design of quarter-rate 4-way data serializing transmitter. The 4:1 serializer output bandwidth is extended by gate-resistor-peaked n-type transistor load working as an active inductor. A current steering switch with current source is used as the final driver. The 4:1 serializer includes a pulse width tuning technique with tunable ground voltage on the ground terminal of a pulse generator to tune an effective threshold voltage of the pulse generator. A Bessel-like LC filter is coupled to an output of the 4:1 serializer. The filter includes shunt peaking paths that provide zeros, which natively cancel large parasitic capacitance at a shunt peaking node. As such, active and passive devices including driver circuitry, ESD diodes, and any other sensing circuitry are flexibly added on any LC filter nodes.

摘要: Clock monitors for circuits having a plurality of oscillators. The clock monitors produce an error indication when one oscillator is determined to be outside of a desired operating range or beyond a defined threshold with respect to a second oscillator. The clock monitors include a synchronizer configured to receive a clock signal from a first oscillator of the plurality of oscillators and synchronize the received clock signal with a second oscillator and to produce a synchronized clock signal. The clock monitors can include a counter configured to produce a count value based on synchronized clock signal. The clock monitors include comparison circuitry configured to receive the count value and produce an error indication when the count value is outside a predetermined range. The clock monitors may be used to ensure correct clock operation for different transition scenarios, e.g., turning on or off a certain clock or power domain.

摘要: A synchronization method for multi-channel signals, a power supply module, an electronic device, and a power supply device. In the synchronization method for multi-channel signals, a first power supply module (700) is connected to a plurality of mutually isolated second power supply modules (800), allocates target data information and a target duration to each of the second power supply modules (800) according to total data information input by a user; and then the first power supply module (700) synchronously transmits a clock signal to each of the second power supply modules (800), so as to trigger each of the second power supply modules (800) to synchronously output a data signal corresponding to the target data information, and to control an output duration of the data signal to be equal to the target duration.

摘要: A method for clock switching includes propagating a first clock signal through a first clock path, propagating a second clock signal through a second clock path, generating a first delay control signal based on the first clock signal, and generating a second delay control signal based on the second clock signal. The method also includes, in a first mode, coupling the first clock path to a delay circuit and inputting the first delay control signal to a control input of the delay circuit. The method also includes, in a second mode, coupling the second clock path to the delay circuit and inputting the second delay control signal to the control input of the delay circuit.
