摘要: Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for aligning a phase of a ring oscillator and removing jitter. An oscillator includes a resistor bank array, an operational amplifier, a first and second transistor, and a realignment circuit. The resistor bank array has a plurality of resistors configured to generate a first signal. The operational amplifier is coupled to a PLL circuit and is configured to compare a voltage of the PLL circuit with a voltage of the resistor bank array. The first transistor is coupled between the operational amplifier and a ring oscillator. The first transistor is configured to generate a second signal to control a frequency of the ring oscillator during a realignment state. The realignment circuit is coupled to the first transistor and the ring oscillator. The realignment circuit is configured to generate a realignment signal to align the ring oscillator with a first clock signal.

摘要: A processing system comprising a first sub-circuit configured to be powered by a first supply voltage and a second sub-circuit configured to be powered by a second supply voltage. The first sub-circuit comprises a general-purpose input/output register. The second sub-circuit comprises: a storage circuit configured to selectively store configuration data from the general-purpose input/output register; an input/output interface, at least one peripheral and a selection circuits to exchange signals of the peripherals, and the stored configuration data with the input/output interface. A power management circuit is configured to manage a normal operating mode, and a low-power mode during which the configuration data are maintained stored and the first sub-circuit is switched off. The power management circuit activates the low-power mode in response to receiving a commands, and resumes the normal operating mode in response to a wake-up events.

摘要: A ratiometric current source circuit having a reduced temperature dependence is disclosed. An embodiment of the current source circuit includes a first divider circuit configured to generate a reference voltage using a voltage level of a power supply node and a second divider circuit including a first resistor with a first temperature coefficient and a second resistor with a second temperature coefficient. The first resistor is configured to generate a first current using an input voltage and the voltage level of the power supply node and the second resistor is configured to generate a second current using the input voltage. The embodiment further includes a buffer circuit configured to generate the input voltage using the reference voltage and generate an output current using a difference between the first current and the second current.

摘要: [Object]
Adjusting oscillator characteristics.
[Solving Means]
An oscillation device includes multiple delay elements that each sequentially delay an input signal, and return at least some of the delayed signals to a preceding stage to generate an oscillation signal, and a first control terminal that inputs, to the multiple delay elements, a direct current control signal for collectively controlling direct current voltage levels of the input signal to be input in plural number to the multiple delay elements.-

摘要: A ring oscillator circuit design includes three or more inverter stages connected in series. Each inverter stage includes one or more inverter devices including a PMOS device and a coupled NMOS device. The PMOS device in each of odd alternating inverter devices of the three or more inverter stages having a source terminal receiving power from a power rail conductor, and a source terminal of the coupled NMOS device in each of first alternating inverter devices is grounded. An output of a last inverter device of a last stage of the three or more inverter stages is connected to an input of a first inverter stage. The method measures a first frequency of a first ring oscillator circuit and measures a second frequency of a second ring oscillator circuit design to determine either a BTI or HCI failure mechanism of the first ring oscillator circuit based on the measurements.

摘要: An apparatus includes a carry chain circuit and a detector circuit. The carry chain circuit includes a plurality of stages. Each stage of the plurality of stages includes a plurality of lookup table elements coupled in sequence. The carry chain circuit propagates a clock signal through the plurality of lookup table elements of the plurality of stages. The detector circuit determines, based on a value of the clock signal stored by a final lookup table element of each stage of the plurality of stages, which stage of the plurality stages contains an edge of the clock signal. The detector circuit then outputs a zero if the determined stage is assigned to a first group of the plurality of stages and a one if the determined stage is assigned to a second group of the plurality of stages.
