摘要： A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided to measure and/or correct duty cycles. Duty cycles of various signals, specifically clocking signals, are important. However, measurement of very high frequency signals, off-chip, and in a laboratory environment can be very difficult and present numerous problems. To combat problems associated with making off-chip measurements and adjustments of signal duty cycles, comparisons are made between input signals and divided input signals that allow for easy measurement and adjustment of on-chip signals, including clocking signals.

摘要： The present invention provides a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for measuring the temperature of a microprocessor through the use of ESD circuitry. The present invention uses diodes and an I/O pad within ESD circuits to determine the temperature at the location of the ESD circuitry. First, a current measuring device connects to a diode. A user or a computer program disables the protected component or circuitry, and subsequently applies a predetermined voltage to the I/O pad. This creates a reverse saturation current through the diode, which is measured by the current measuring device. From this current the user or a computer program determines the temperature of the microprocessor at the diode through the use of a graphical representation of diode reverse saturation current and corresponding temperature.

摘要： A level shifter apparatus and method for minimizing duty cycle distortion are provided. The level shifter includes a bank of comparators each having an associated threshold built into it. The comparators compare a difference in source voltages for two power domains to these built-in thresholds and output a signal indicative of whether the threshold is exceeded. The output signals from the comparators are provided to a thermometric decoder which generates control signals based on these output signals. The control signals are used to control stages in a level shifter for modifying the voltage output of the level shifter. Individual stages may be enabled to thereby monotonically modify the voltage output of the level shifter and thereby decrease a time required to achieve a voltage having a level that causes a state change in a driven circuit. As a result, duty cycle distortion is minimized and maximum operational frequency is increased.

摘要： A technology for supplying a power supply voltage to a microprocessor. Before normal arithmetic processing of the microprocessor, duty cycle correction process for adjusting the duty cycle of a clock signal inside the microprocessor is performed. In the duty cycle correction process for adjusting the duty cycle, the duty cycle of the clock signal is adjusted so as to minimize the power voltage at which the microprocessor is still operable.
