摘要： An improved phase locked loop (PLL) circuit is provided for use in microprocessor clock generation. A ring oscillator provides an output frequency signal. A voltage to current converter converts differential control voltages to a variable reference current applied to the ring oscillator. A range control reference current generator applies a range control reference current to the ring oscillator. A range control operatively controls the range control reference current generator to sequentially change the range control reference current applied to the ring oscillator. A lock detector coupled to the range control compares the output frequency signal and a reference frequency signal and responsive to the compares signals applies a locked signal to the range control. Responsive to an applied locked signal, the range control stops changing ranges. The phase locked loop (PLL) circuit automatically sweeps through multiple frequency subranges responsive to the range control. A control signal is applied to the voltage to current converter for selectively controlling an operational mode of the voltage to current converter from a squelched operational mode to an unsquelched operational mode after a set time period. This control signal also is applied to the range control, so that the range control stops changing ranges.

摘要： A CMOS signal transmission system for sending a large amount of CMOS signals into a separate quiet analog power domain. Transmission system comprises a converter sub-system which provides at least another device stage through which noise in the CMOS signals must flow and be attenuated to provide converted CMOS signals and a multiplexer coupled to the converter wherein the multiplexer receives converted CMOS signals from the converter sub-system and also receives delayed path control signals. The converter comprises a constant current source for providing a high level voltage reference and a constant current, two complimentary pass gates, and two sets of components for providing paths to ground from the constant current source through the two complimentary pass gates. When CMOS input signal is high and Complimentary CMOS input signal is low, the pass gate comprising transistors T9 and T1 is on and transistors T8 and T0 are off and connection BSEL is pulled high turning on bipolar transistor Q9 allowing current to flow through Q9 and pulling net SB low and selecting inputs B0, B1 to be transferred to ECL Differential Outputs. Likewise, when CMOS input signal is low and Complimentary CMOS input signal is high, pass gate comprising transistors T8 and T0 is on, and transistors T9 and T1 are off, and connection ASEL is pulled high turning on bipolar transistor Q8 allowing current to flow through Q8 and pulling net SA low and selecting inputs A0, A1 to be transferred to ECL Differential Outputs.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for implementing a body contact in a silicon-on-insulator field effect transistor device. A SOI field effect transistor is provided having a body contact having a predefined resistance that provides a higher device threshold voltage in the SOI FET device. A body of the SOI field effect transistor is connected to the gate of the SOI field effect transistor. The body gate connection of the SOI field effect transistor effectively lowers the device threshold voltage due to body bias effect. The SOI field effect transistor with a body connected to the gate of the SOI field effect transistor is used in circuits having stacked devices and DC currents. The SOI field effect transistor with a body connected to the gate of the SOI field effect transistor also is used in analog circuits with device matching requirements and in circuits having a low voltage power supply.

摘要： An apparatus and method for distributing a clock signal within circuitry disposed on a number of separate system cards includes a first system card that generates a reference clock signal representative of a fixed delay of a system clock signal. A number of variable clock signals are produced using the system clock signal. Each of a number of system cards separate from the first system card receive one of the variable clock signals. A delay associated with the reference clock signal is typically longer than a delay associated with each of the variable clock signals. The phase of each of the variable clock signals is adjusted to a substantially in-phase relationship with respect to the reference clock signal in response to a phase difference between the reference clock signal an output signal received from each of the separate system cards. Producing each of the variable clock signals may involve selecting between a first delay line and a second delay line, and then producing the variable delay signal using the selected first or second delay line. A delay factor of the non-selected first or second delay line may be changed by varying a resistance and a current of one or more delay elements of the non-selected first or second delay lines. The circuitry is selectably operable in a slave or buffer-type clock repowering mode or an adaptive mode. The variable clock signals and the output signals may respectively comprise low voltage differential signals (LVDS) or CMOS level signals.

摘要： An apparatus and method for delaying a signal using a variable delay line circuit. A variable delay line circuit includes first and second delay lines, each including a plurality of delay elements. A multiplexer is coupled to respective outputs of the first and second delay lines and selectively couples the output of one of the first or second delay lines to an output of the multiplexer. A control circuit is coupled to the multiplexer and the first and second delay lines, and controls the multiplexer so as to produce a delayed signal at the multiplexer output using one of the first or second delay lines, and changes a delay factor of the other one of the first or second delay lines by varying a resistance and a current of one or more delay elements of the other one of the first or second delay lines. A reference voltage source is coupled to each of the delay elements and provides a reference voltage maintained at a substantially constant amplitude with respect to the power supply to each of the delay elements. The delayed signal may be a differential signal. Each of the delay elements may include one or more adjustable loads or adjustable current sources. An adjustable load may be implemented using P-FETs. In one embodiment, at least one of the delay elements of the first and second delay lines includes a plurality of selectable delay devices, each of which is associated with one of a plurality of selectable delay factors.
