    摘要: An apparatus automatically determines an operating frequency of an integrated circuit (IC) chip that has a built-in self-test (BIST) unit to test the chip. The apparatus includes a clock generator and a frequency determination unit. The clock generator provides a test clock to the IC chip. The frequency determination unit sets the clock generator to generate the test clock and determines the operating frequency in accordance with a test result produced from the BIST unit. The frequency determination unit also enables the BIST unit to test the IC chip. Specifically, the frequency determination unit tunes a frequency value based on the test result, and sets the clock generator to generate the test clock corresponding to the tuned frequency value. Accordingly, the apparatus determines the highest frequency passing the built-in self-test, and sets the highest frequency for the IC chip as its operating frequency.

    摘要: A digital clock throttling device, for gating a clock signal of a circuit, at least includes an accumulator and a gating circuit. The accumulator responsive to a throttling value generates a first output signal. The first output signal is divided into a throttling signal with a most significant bit and a feedback signal with rest bits of the first output signal except for the most significant bit. The feedback signal is sent to the accumulator back for accumulating to the throttling value as the first output signal. The gating circuit coupling with the accumulator responsive to the throttling signal and clock signal gates out some clock cycles of the clock signal, thereby providing a gated clock signal in an adjusted frequency.

    摘要: An apparatus of reducing power consumption of a single-ended Static Random Access Memory (hereinafter referred as SRAM) is provided. The apparatus consists of at least an extra column of status memory cell and a majority detector by which a bit status of a written data is detected and by which the value of the bit status is written into the extra column of status memory cell. The apparatus further includes a data scrambler by which the written data is converted into a storage data with a minority of 0 bits based on the value of bit status and by which the storage data is written into the main single-ended SRAM cell. The apparatus further includes a data de-scrambler by which the storage data in the main single-ended SRAM cell is converted into its original format based on the value of bit status stored in the extra column of memory cell and by which the data in its original format is output. Since the data stored in the main single-ended SRAM cell has a majority of 1 bits, the apparatus can reduce the power consumption of the single-ended SRAM.
