AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional adaptive clock circuits have large clock errors over a wide voltage range, affecting the performance of the matching clock frequency and adaptive clock stretching system. Furthermore, the buffer delay deviation increases as the voltage decreases, resulting in insufficient circuit accuracy.

Method used

A configurable delay chain is combined with a time-to-digital converter and a code-to-code converter. High-precision clock signal delay is achieved through an ultra-fine-tuning inverter and one-hot code transmission gate logic. A closed-loop negative feedback adjustment method is used to adjust the configuration code of the delay chain to match the clock frequency and phase.

Benefits of technology

It achieves high-precision matching of clock signals over a wide frequency range, reduces circuit complexity and power consumption, improves circuit robustness and accuracy, and reduces signal scheduling pressure.
