    摘要: A SerDes module clock network architecture comprises, a reference clock input port, a plurality of data transmission channels, several user logic interfaces, several frequency division branches and a phase locked loop. The reference lock input port receives an input clock and conveys the input clock to the phase locked loop, the phase locked loop receives the input lock and outputs a PLL output clock signal, the PLL output clock signal is conveyed to the plurality of data transmission channels, and the PLL output clock signal is conveyed to the frequency division branches, and after frequency division, user interface clocks are output and conveyed to the user logic interfaces. When the PLL output clock signal in a SerDes is provided to an internal dedicated channel, several frequency division branches are also divided, and after frequency division, the signal is output to the user logic interfaces for use by an FPGA.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for efficiently generating clock signals. An integrated circuit includes multiple clock dividers both at its I/O boundaries and across its semiconductor die. A clock divider receives an input clock signal, and an indication of a reduction factor that is a positive, non-zero and a non-integer value less than one. The clock divider generates an output clock signal based on the input clock signal and the reduction factor. The reduction factor can be an M-bit pattern where M is a positive, non-zero integer greater than one. Therefore, the clock divider generates the output clock signal with a reduced clock rate that has a smallest configurable granularity that is 1/M of the input clock frequency. An asserted bit in the M-bit pattern indicates that the output clock signal should have an asserted value during a corresponding clock cycle of the input clock signal.

    摘要: An oscillator provides a plurality of clock signals, including a first clock signal having a first frequency and a first period, wherein each clock signal has the first frequency and is phase shifted from the first clock signal by an integer times a predetermined fractional amount of the first period. A multiphase frequency divider receives the plurality of clock signals and provides a divided clock output, and includes an integer frequency divider which provides the divided clock output based on a modified clock input and a clock selector which provides a current clock as the modified clock input during a first portion of the divided clock output and a next clock as the modified clock input during a subsequent portion of the divided clock output. The next clock is selected from the plurality of clock signals based on a selected fractional phase shift amount indicated by a sigma-delta modulator.

    摘要: A fractional divider processing circuitry is to receive one of a plurality of clock signals as an input clock signal, and generate a first division clock signal based on the input clock signal and a first control signal. Phases of the plurality of clock signals partially overlap each other. The processing circuitry generates a delta-sigma modulation signal based on the first division clock signal and a frequency control word, and generates a second division clock signal based on the plurality of clock signals, the first division clock signal and a second control signal. The second control signal corresponds to a quantization noise of the delta-sigma modulation signal. The processing circuitry generates the second control signal and a digital control word based on the quantization noise of the delta-sigma modulator. The processing circuitry generates a final division clock signal based on the second division clock signal and the digital control word.
