摘要： A dynamic flip-flop circuit that operates in a pre-charge phase and an evaluation phase allows for implementation of multiple-input logic functions without sacrificing performance by using a single evaluation path to generate its output signals. In one embodiment, the dynamic flip-flop circuit includes input logic that receives a clock signal and one or more data input signals. The clock signal defines the pre-charge phase and the evaluation phase of the flip-flop circuit. The input logic has an output terminal connected to a first output buffer circuit, which in turn drives the flip-flop circuit's Q output signal. The output terminal of the input logic is combined with the clock signal in a logic gate having an output terminal connected to a second output buffer circuit, which in turn drives the flip-flop circuit's complementary output signal {overscore (Q)}. During the pre-charge phase, the input logic forces the Q output signal to a first logic state via the first output buffer, and the logic gate forces the {overscore (Q)} output signal to logic low via the second output buffer. During the evaluation phase, the input logic generates a logic signal in response to a predetermined logic function of its one or more input signals. The logic signal(s), in turn, drives the Q output signal via the first output buffer, and drives the {overscore (Q)} output signal to a complementary logic state via the logic gate and second output buffer.

摘要： A dual edge-triggered flip-flop that may be programmably reset independent of a clock signal is provided. Using an externally generated reset value, the dual edge-triggered flip-flop may be asynchronously programmed to reset to either a logical high or a logical low. Further, a dual edge-triggered flip-flop that may be set to multiple triggering modes is provided. Using an externally generated enable signal, the dual edge-triggered flip-flop may be set to function as a single edge-triggered or a dual edge-triggered device. Thus, the dual edge-triggered flip-flop may be used multiple types of computing environments.

摘要： An integrated circuit has a plurality of sections, each having a phase detector and a control delay circuit. The phase detector, in response to a phase difference between a reference clock signal and a feedback signal from a portion of a clock grid, controls the delay of its associated clock delay circuit, which, in turn, outputs to the portion of the clock grid. The feedback signal to the phase detector may be connected to an output of a DLL or another portion of the clock grid controlled by a clock delay circuit not associated with the phase detector. Such an arrangement on the integrated circuit leads to clock grid skew reduction.

摘要： An analog debugging block of an integrated circuit includes a multiplexor, a buffer, and a voltage-controlled oscillator. An analog voltage signal-of-interest is selectively passed through the multiplexor to the buffer. The buffer outputs an analog control voltage dependent on the selected analog voltage signal-of-interest. The analog control voltage serves as an input to the voltage-controlled oscillator and is used to control a frequency of a digital output signal generated from the voltage-controlled oscillator. The digital output signal from the voltage-controlled oscillator is driven off-chip, whereupon a frequency of the digital output signal is determined and compared against a collection of known frequencies that correspond to particular known voltages of the analog voltage signal-of-interest, thereby resulting in a determination of the value of the selected analog voltage signal-of-interest.

摘要： A method and apparatus to determine skew of an on-chip signal without physical probing of the on-chip signal on the chip is provided. The method and apparatus use an externally generated reference signal that is distributed to one or more on-chip samplers that input the on-chip signal. Then, by modulating the externally generated reference signal, transitions of the on-chip signal can be detected at the one or more on-chip samplers so that the skew of the on-chip signal can be determined.
