摘要： An active cancellation matrix for process parameter measurements provides feedback paths for each test location wherein each feedback path is used to sense the applied voltage and the sensed voltage is used to adjust the source voltage for any variations along the input path. The devices under test are arranged in a row and column array, and the feedback and voltage input paths are formed along respective rails which extend generally parallel to a row of devices under test. Selectors are used to selectively route the outputs of the test nodes to a measurement unit such as a current sensor. The input voltages can be varied to establish current-voltage (I-V) curves for the devices under various conditions. In the example where the devices under test are transistors, each source input includes three voltage inputs (rails) for a drain voltage, a source voltage, and a gate voltage.

摘要： A pseudo Set/Reset latch circuit is configured with modified NOR or NAND gates wherein one of the series pull-up devices or pull-down devices is removed. A minimum of three pseudo Set/Reset latches may be coupled as a ring oscillator generating an output and a non-skewed complementary output. Additionally, feed-forward inverting stages may be coupled in parallel with inverting paths in the ring oscillator primary path to further increase the frequency range of the ring oscillator. The pseudo Set/Reset latch circuits and the feed-forward inverting stages may be configured with voltage controlled devices that alter the delay of the stages as a means for varying the frequency of the ring oscillator either by varying the current drive of the circuitry driving the output of the latch stages or by varying the conductance of devices coupling between the latch stages. Feedforward inverting stages may comprise pseudo latches or inverter gates.

摘要： A circuit and method of correcting the duty cycle of digital signals is disclosed. The duty cycle of an input digital signal is measured and compared to a desired duty cycle. The leading edge of the input digital signal is passed to an output. The circuit and method adjust the falling edges at the output to achieve the desired duty cycle. The falling edges occur in response to rising edges of a delayed version of the input digital signal.

摘要： A method and apparatus for determining jitter and pulse width from clock signal comparisons provides a low cost and production-integrable mechanism for measuring a clock signal with a reference clock, both of unknown frequency. The measured clock signal is sampled at transitions of a reference clock and the sampled values are collected in a histogram according to a folding of the samples around a timebase which is either swept to detect a minimum jitter for the folded data or is obtained from direct frequency analysis for the sample set. The histogram for the correct estimated period is statistically analyzed to yield the pulse width, which is the difference between the peaks of the probability density function and jitter, which corresponds to width of the density function peaks. Frequency drift is corrected by adjusting the timebase used to fold the data across the sample set.

摘要： A complementary digital signal generator circuit and method receives a periodic digital signal, such as a square wave, as an input and generates at the output complementary versions of the digital signal delayed by matching increments of delay with minimum skew at GHz frequencies. The digital signal is processed by inverters and interpolators which may be readily matched in size and functional characteristics by close proximity placement on integrated circuits. An inverted and first delayed version of the original digital signal is applied to both inputs of a first interpolator, to generate at the output of the interpolator the complement of the digital signal as delayed by the first delayed and the delay introduced by the interpolator. The inverted and first delayed digital signal is inverted and second delayed by a second matching inverter and applied as one input to a second interpolator. The second input of the second interpolator is the original digital signal. The output of the second interpolator is the digital signal delayed by a corresponding combination of the first delay and the delay introduced by the second interpolator. When the first and second interpolators are matched, in the manner of the first and second inverters, the two interpolator outputs provide the digital signal and its complement with substantially no skew and matching increments of delay.

摘要： A method and apparatus for fail-safe and restartable system clock generation provides recovery from failures due to incorrect clock generator settings or from marginal clock distribution components. Clock failure is detected at a point along the clock distribution path between the output of the clock generator and the downstream circuits. If a clock failure is detected, a second clock, which may be the clock generator reference clock, is used to operate the downstream circuits. The clock generator, which may be a phase-lock loop, is then restarted, either with a predetermined loop filter voltage at which downstream circuits are guaranteed to operate, or with a divider setting on the output of the clock generator that reduces the frequency so that downstream circuits are guaranteed to operate. Parameters of the clock generator can thereby be reset and operating conditions determined before restoring the output of the clock generator to the downstream circuits.
