    • The present disclosure encompasses the use of a current mirror to control the trip point for a power-on-reset circuit. The current mirror is designed to turn on at a multiple of a transistor threshold voltage V.sub.t. The power-on-reset circuit asserts a power-on signal in response to mirror current provided by the current mirror when the supply voltage ramps up above the V.sub.t multiple. Since the transistor threshold voltage may be tightly controlled during the fabrication process, the trip point for the power-on-reset circuit may be precisely and accurately adjusted to match the minimum operating supply voltage level specified for an integrated circuit device such as a microprocessor. Also, a feedback path may be provided in the power-on-reset circuit to turn off the current mirror once the power-on signal is asserted so that there is no current draw in the power-on-circuit for static conditions. The lack of current draw at static power conditions prevents unnecessary power consumption and false stuck-at faults during I.sub.ddq testing.
    • 本公开包括使用电流镜来控制上电复位电路的跳变点。 电流镜被设计成以晶体管阈值电压Vt的倍数导通。当电源电压上升到Vt以上时,上电复位电路响应于由电流镜提供的镜电流来断言上电信号 多。 由于晶体管阈值电压可以在制造过程中被严格控制,因此可以精确地和准确地调整上电复位电路的跳变点,以匹配对诸如微处理器的集成电路器件指定的最小工作电源电压电平。 此外,在通电复位电路中可以提供反馈路径,以便在电源接通信号被断言时关闭电流镜,使得在静态条件下的电源电路中不存在电流消耗。 在静态功率条件下缺少电流消除可防止Iddq测试期间不必要的功耗和错误的卡住故障。

    • A phase-frequency detector provides a decreased blind spot near 360.degree. of phase error and a resulting increased phase error detection range. In one embodiment, the phase-frequency detector includes two latches that are set in response to the detection of positive transitions in respective input clock signals. A reset controller resets both latches when they both get set. The duration and sequence of the latch states are thereby indicative of phase errors between the input clock signals. Two edge-triggered pulse generators provide a sustained indication of a detected positive transition in the respective input clock signals. When the time duration of the sustained indications is set equal to the reset time required by the latches and reset controller, the blind spot of the phase-frequency detector is largely eliminated.
    • 相位检测器在相位误差360°附近提供减少的盲点,从而提高相位误差检测范围。 在一个实施例中,相位 - 频率检测器包括响应于各个输入时钟信号中的正跳变的检测而设置的两个锁存器。 复位控制器在两个锁存器都被置位时复位。 因此锁存状态的持续时间和序列表示输入时钟信号之间的相位误差。 两个边沿触发脉冲发生器提供在各个输入时钟信号中检测到的正转换的持续指示。 当持续指示的持续时间设置为等于锁存器和复位控制器所需的复位时间时,相位频率检测器的盲点被大大消除。

    • A differential comparator is provided with an extended input range. In one embodiment, a differential amplifier is provided with a differential input buffer that allows for differential detection even with input voltage signal levels that extend two or more volts beyond the power supply voltage. A first transistor and a first resistor coupled in series are coupled in parallel with a second transistor and a second series resistor. The transistor drain terminals are both coupled to the power supply voltage, and a current source draws current from the common node of the resistors. Input voltages are supplied to the gates of the transistors, and the differential output voltages are provided from the transistor source terminals. A differential amplifier receives the differential output voltages and provides a single output voltage.

    • A clock frequency detector is provided having a precise trip frequency which is insensitive to power supply variations. In one embodiment, the clock frequency detector employs a current source to discharge a capacitor at a constant rate and a gated current source to charge the capacitor at a frequency-dependent rate. If the charge rate exceeds the discharge rate, the capacitor will charge and an output signal is asserted. The gated current source is controlled by an edge-triggered pulse generator which generates pulses of a precise width in response to edges in the input clock signal. To create these pulses, the pulse generator produces an inverted clock signal with delayed transitions and combined this signal with the clock signal. The delayed transitions are created using a capacitor which is charged by a current source. The capacitor is provided with a shunt transistor which drains the charge from the capacitor whenever the clock signal is asserted. When the clock signal is de-asserted, the capacitor is allowed to charge, and an op-amp detects when the capacitor voltage exceeds a reference voltage and asserts an output signal. The reference voltage is also provided using a current source, so the transition delay is independent of changes in the power supply voltage. The clock frequency detector provided herein has a high precision with respect to process variation. A consistent frequency detection performance is achieved which is insensitive to changes in power supply voltage. This advantageously provides microprocessors with an added degree of reliability as higher circuit densities and lower supply voltages are pursued.
