    • A resonant clocking system is described which utilizes a feedback clock signal from the master clock node on a clocked chip and wherein the feedback clock signal is detected with a phase detector to determine the relevant phasing of the transmitted and the feedback received clock signals. An electronically controllable delay element is disposed within the transmission path of the clock signal on both the transmission leg and the return leg so that equal amounts of delay time may be added to the flight time in each direction. The delay may be electronically controlled to bring a "Transmitted Clock" pulse and a "Received Clock" pulse into phase. By insuring that the delay time for the entire transmission of the circuit by a particular clock pulse is an even number of cycle times, the master clock node on the clocked chip also may be controlled to be in phase with the "Transmitted Clock" pulse signal. This may be accomplished by initially calibrating the system at one-half of normal operating frequency and bringing "Transmitted Clock" pulse and "Received Clock" or feedback pulse into phase. Thereafter, upon returning to normal operating frequency, there always will be an even integral number of cycles of time delay between the transmission of the clock pulse by the oscillator and the receipt of that identical clock pulse by the phase detector; additionally, the pulse at the master clock mode will be in phase.
    • 描述了谐振时钟系统,其利用来自时钟芯片上的主时钟节点的反馈时钟信号,并且其中用相位检测器检测反馈时钟信号,以确定所发射的反馈和反馈接收的时钟信号的相关定相。 电子可控延迟元件设置在传输腿和返回腿上的时钟信号的传输路径内,使得可以在每个方向上将等量的延迟时间添加到飞行时间。 延迟可以被电子控制以使“发送时钟”脉冲和“接收时钟”脉冲进入相位。 通过确保通过特定时钟脉冲整个电路传输的延迟时间是偶数个周期时间,时钟芯片上的主时钟节点也可以被控制为与“发送时钟”脉冲信号同相 。 这可以通过在正常工作频率的一半初始校准系统并且将“发送时钟”脉冲和“接收时钟”或反馈脉冲进入相位来实现。 此后,在返回到正常工作频率之后,在振荡器发送时钟脉冲和由相位检测器接收到相同的时钟脉冲之间总是有一个偶数个周期的时间延迟; 此外,主时钟模式下的脉冲将同相。

    • The described embodiments provide a configurable pulse generator circuit. More specifically, the described embodiments include a pulse generator circuit; an inverting difference oscillator (IDO) enabling circuit coupled to the pulse generator circuit; and a disable signal coupled to the IDO enabling circuit. When the disable signal is asserted, the IDO enabling circuit is disabled and the pulse generator circuit is configured as a pulse generator. In contrast, when the disable signal is deasserted, the IDO enabling circuit is enabled and the pulse generator circuit is configured as part of an IDO.

    • An integrated circuit that includes a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) that adjusts a clock frequency of a critical path of the integrated circuit based on the variations in a power-supply voltage of the DCO and the critical path is described. This DCO may be included in a feedback control loop that includes a frequency-locked loop (FLL), and which determines an average clock frequency of the critical path based on a reference frequency. Furthermore, the DCO may have a selectable delay characteristic that specifies a delay sensitivity of the DCO as a function of the power-supply voltage, thereby approximately matching a manufactured delay characteristic of the critical path. Additionally, for variations in the power-supply voltage having frequencies greater than a resonance frequency associated with a chip package of the integrated circuit, adjustments of the clock frequency may be proportional to the variations in the power-supply voltage and the selectable delay characteristic.
