摘要： An apparatus and method for automatically calibrating a duty cycle circuit for maximum performance. A chip level built-in circuit automatically calibrates the duty cycle correction (DCC) circuit setting for each chip. The chip level built-in circuit includes a clock generation macro unit, a simple duty cycle correction (DCC) circuit, an array slice and built-in self test unit, and a DCC circuit controller. A built-in self test provides results, i.e. pass or fail, of an array to the DCC circuit controller. If the result of the built-in self test is a pass, then the current DCC circuit controller's DCC control bit setting is set as the setting for the chip. If the result from the built-in self test is a fail, the DCC circuit controller's DCC control bits setting is incremented to a next setting and the self-test is performed again.

摘要： A design structure for a Duty Cycle Correction (DCC) circuit is provide in which pairs of field effect transistors (FETs) in known DCC circuit topologies are replaced with linear resistors coupled to switches of the DCC circuit such that when the switch is open, the input signal is routed through the linear resistors. The linear resistors are more tolerant of process, voltage and temperature (PVT) fluctuations than FETs and thus, the resulting DCC circuit provides a relatively smaller change in DCC correction range with PVT fluctuations than the known DCC circuit topology that employs FETs. The linear resistors may be provided in parallel with the switches and in series with a pair of FETs having relatively large resistance values. The linear resistors provide resistance that pulls-up or pulls-down the pulse width of the input signal so as to provide correction to the duty cycle of the input signal.

摘要： A design structure for an apparatus for utilizing a single set of one or more thermal sensors, e.g., thermal diodes, provided on the integrated circuit device, chip, etc., to control the operation of the integrated circuit device, associated cooling system, and high-frequency PLLs, is provided. By utilizing a single set of thermal sensors to provide multiple functions, e.g., controlling the operation of the integrated circuit device, the cooling system, and the PLLs, silicon real-estate usage is reduced through combining circuitry functionality. Moreover, the integrated circuit device yield is improved by reducing circuitry complexity and increasing PLL robustness to temperature. Furthermore, the PLL circuitry operating range is improved by compensating for temperature.

摘要： A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided for generating an error detection state and correction of code patterns. Generally, conducting full speed testing of the dI/dt circuit in a low bandwidth lab environment is difficult. A circuit, however, can be employed that periodically detects the functionality of the dI/dt circuit to indicate success or failure. When errors are detected, the circuit allows for erroneous codes to be replaced with accurate ones. Using this circuit, conducting full speed testing of the dI/dt circuit in a low bandwidth lab environment can be more easily achieved.
