摘要： A technology for supplying a power supply voltage to a microprocessor. Before normal arithmetic processing of the microprocessor, duty cycle correction process for adjusting the duty cycle of a clock signal inside the microprocessor is performed. In the duty cycle correction process for adjusting the duty cycle, the duty cycle of the clock signal is adjusted so as to minimize the power voltage at which the microprocessor is still operable.

摘要： A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided to measure and/or correct duty cycles. Duty cycles of various signals, specifically clocking signals, are important. However, measurement of very high frequency signals, off-chip, and in a laboratory environment can be very difficult and present numerous problems. To combat problems associated with making off-chip measurements and adjustments of signal duty cycles, comparisons are made between input signals and divided input signals that allow for easy measurement and adjustment of on-chip signals, including clocking signals.

摘要： The disclosed methodology and apparatus measure the duty cycle of a reference clock signal that a clock circuit supplies to a duty cycle measurement (DCM) circuit. In one embodiment, the DCM circuit includes a capacitor driven by a charge pump. The reference clock signal drives the charge pump. The clock circuit varies the duty cycle of the reference clock signal among a number of known duty cycle values. The DCM circuit stores resultant capacitor voltage values corresponding to each of the known duty cycle values in a data store. The DCM circuit applies a test clock signal having an unknown duty cycle to the capacitor via the charge pump, thus charging the capacitor to a new voltage value that corresponds to the duty cycle of the test clock signal. Control software accesses the data store to determine the duty cycle to which the test clock signal corresponds.

The apparatus generates an error signal when the measured duty cycle varies from a predetermined duty cycle. The apparatus includes a variable duty cycle clock generator that alters the duty cycle of the test clock signal to reduce the error.
