Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of signal delay control, and in particular to a clock network circuit for eliminating the influence of power supply noise. Background Art
[0002] The clock network circuit is a circuit system used to synchronize clock signals in electronic devices. The main task of the clock network circuit is to synchronize the clock signal to the target device to ensure that the various parts of the system can work together accurately. During this whole process, the clock signal is crucial for synchronous operation. Therefore, designing an efficient and low-jitter clock network is a core part of any high-performance electronic design.
[0003] With the continuous development of electronic devices, the amount and accuracy of data processing are constantly improving. There is an increasing demand for low-power and low-interference circuits, and the performance requirements for the clock circuits therein are also getting higher and higher. For clock network circuits, power supply noise will affect the clock signal. When power supply noise is applied to the clock network circuit, the clock signal will jitter, causing the clock signal to have a larger or smaller delay. The specific manifestation of this delay is that when the power supply voltage is high under the influence of noise, the jitter edge of the clock signal will be advanced, and when the power supply voltage is low under the influence of noise, the jitter edge of the clock signal will lag behind. The delay of the clock signal will affect the overall performance of the circuit.

[0072] The clock network circuit is a circuit system used to synchronize clock signals in electronic devices. The main task of the clock network circuit is to synchronize the clock signal to the target device to ensure that the various parts of the system can work together accurately. During this whole process, the clock signal is crucial to the synchronous operation. Therefore, designing an efficient and low-jitter clock network is the core part of any high-performance electronic design. With the continuous development of electronic devices, the amount and accuracy of data processing are constantly improving, and there is an increasing demand for low-power and low-interference circuits, and the performance requirements for the clock circuits therein are also getting higher and higher. For the clock network circuit, power supply noise will affect the clock signal. When power supply noise is applied to the clock network circuit, the clock signal will jitter, resulting in a larger or smaller delay in the clock signal. The specific manifestation of this delay is that when the power supply voltage is high under the influence of noise, the jitter edge of the clock signal will be advanced, and when the power supply voltage is low under the influence of noise, the jitter edge of the clock signal will lag behind, and the delay of the clock signal will affect the overall performance of the circuit. Therefore, it is necessary to design a circuit that eliminates the influence of power supply noise on the clock signal.
[0073] The present invention sets a power supply module 100 to sample the power supply voltage and the voltage of the output clock signal, compares the difference between the two voltages to adjust the power supply voltage, and the power supply voltage controls the delay module 200 to delay the clock signal, thereby offsetting the delay caused by power supply noise on the clock signal and eliminating the influence of power supply noise on the clock signal.
[0074] Example 1
[0075] A clock network circuit that eliminates the effects of power supply noise, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a power supply module 100 and a delay module 200;
[0076] The first input terminal of the power supply module 100 is connected to the power supply voltage, the second input terminal of the power supply module 100 is connected to the output clock signal, the output terminal of the power supply module 100 is connected to the control terminal of the delay module 200, the input terminal of the delay module 200 is connected to the input clock signal, and the output terminal of the delay module 200 is connected to the output clock signal;
[0077] The power supply module 100 is used to adjust the power supply voltage according to the power supply voltage and the output clock signal voltage;
[0078] The delay module 200 is used to adjust the delay of the input clock signal according to the supply voltage.
[0079] It should be noted that power supply noise refers to the voltage fluctuation on the power supply voltage that changes over time. Under the influence of power supply noise, the power supply voltage will be higher or lower than the normal power supply voltage. Different voltages will produce different delays on the same clock path. When the power supply voltage is high, it will cause the rising edge or falling edge of the clock signal to advance, and when the power supply voltage is low, it will cause the rising edge or falling edge of the clock signal to lag, resulting in a delay between the clock signal and the standard clock signal.
[0080] In this embodiment, the power supply module 100 is set to sample the power supply voltage and the voltage of the output clock signal, and the difference between the two voltages is compared to adjust the power supply voltage. The power supply voltage controls the delay module 200 to delay the clock signal, thereby offsetting the delay caused by the power supply noise on the clock signal and eliminating the influence of the power supply noise on the clock signal.
[0081] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the power supply module 100 includes: a first amplifying unit 110, a second amplifying unit 120, a filtering unit 130 and a voltage dividing unit 140;
[0082] The first input terminal of the first amplifying unit 110 is connected to the power supply voltage, the second input terminal of the first amplifying unit 110 is connected to the output terminal of the voltage dividing unit 140, and the output terminal of the first amplifying unit 110 is connected to the input terminal of the second amplifying unit 120;
[0083] The output end of the second amplifying unit 120 is connected to the control end of the delay module 200;
[0084] The input end of the filter unit 130 is connected to the output end of the second amplifying unit 120, and the output end of the filter unit 130 is grounded;
[0085] The input end of the voltage dividing unit 140 is connected to the output end of the delay module 200;
[0086] The first amplifying unit 110 is used to amplify the difference between the power supply voltage and the output clock signal voltage;
[0087] The second amplifying unit 120 is used to adjust the supply voltage;
[0088] The filter unit 130 is used to smooth the supply voltage;
[0089] The voltage dividing unit 140 is used to adjust the input voltage of the second input terminal of the first amplifying unit 110 .
[0090] Specifically, the first amplifier unit 110 receives a power supply voltage and an output clock signal voltage at two input terminals, samples the voltages of the two, and outputs a first amplified voltage according to the voltage difference between the two. The first amplifier unit 110 may be a conventional current mirror error amplifier.
[0091] The second amplifying unit 120 inputs the first amplified voltage, amplifies the first amplified voltage based on the first amplifying unit 110, and outputs a second amplified voltage. The second amplified voltage is used as a power supply voltage to power and control the delay module 200.
[0092] The filter unit 130 is disposed between the output end of the second amplifying unit 120 and the delay module 200 to filter out the noise of the power supply voltage applied to the two-stage amplifying unit, thereby reducing the power supply noise and providing a stable power supply voltage to control the operation of the delay module 200 .
[0093] The voltage dividing unit 140 divides the voltage of the output clock signal and inputs the divided voltage into the second input terminal of the first amplifying unit 110 to ensure the normal delay operation of the entire circuit.
[0094] The smaller the linearity of the power supply module 100, the smaller the impact of the change of the input voltage on the output voltage, and the better the performance of the power supply module 100. In this embodiment, by providing a two-stage amplification unit to amplify the difference between the power supply voltage and the voltage of the output clock signal, the error amplification factor is increased, thereby improving the linearity of the power supply module 100.
[0095] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the power supply module 100 further includes: a feedforward unit 150;
[0096] The input end of the feedforward unit 150 is connected to the output end of the delay module 200 , and the output end of the feedforward unit 150 is connected to the output end of the first amplification unit 110 ;

[0100] A first end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the output end of the delay module 200 , and a second end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the output end of the first amplifying unit 110 .
[0101] In this embodiment, the feedforward unit 150 is set at the output end of the delay module 200 and the output end of the first amplifying unit 110, and zero points and poles are introduced into the loop of the first amplifying unit 110, so as to improve the transient response of the first amplifying unit 110 and reduce the voltage ringing generated by the first amplifying unit 110, thereby reducing the voltage fluctuation caused by the voltage ringing, thereby affecting the normal operation of the delay module 200.

[0115] The delay control unit 220 is used to adjust the delay of the input clock signal according to the bias voltage.
[0116] It should be noted that the bias generating unit 210 can be a conventional bias generating circuit. Under the control of the power supply voltage, the bias generating unit 210 will output two voltages Vcp and Vcn. Under the control of the voltages Vcp and Vcn, the delay control unit 220 outputs a clock signal with a certain delay compared to the standard clock signal. In this embodiment, it is not necessary to set up a monitoring and phase detection device to obtain the phase of the voltage signal on the signal chain one by one and compare and analyze the phase of the standard clock signal. By setting the bias generating unit 210 and the delay control unit 220, the power supply voltage is input as a control voltage to the bias generating unit 210 to generate a bias voltage, and the delay control unit 220 adjusts the delay according to the bias voltage, thereby providing low module power consumption and small module area.

[0119] The control end of each delayer is connected to the output end of the bias generating unit 210 , and the output end of each delayer is connected to the output clock signal respectively.
[0120] Specifically, the voltage-controlled delay line is used to provide clock signals with different phase delays, which mainly delay the clock signal through a delayer. The delayer has a clock signal input terminal, a clock signal output terminal, and two control voltage input terminals, and the two control voltage input terminals are respectively connected to the output terminals of the voltages Vcp and Vcn generated by the bias generating unit 210. When the clock signal is input into the delayer, the delayer outputs a clock signal with a certain delay according to the control of the voltages Vcp and Vcn. After the input clock signal passes through multiple delayers connected in series, a clock signal that has been subjected to power supply noise elimination and delay synchronization can be obtained.
[0121] It should be noted that when the power supply voltage is normal, the input clock signal will also be delayed through the control of Vbp, and an output clock signal delayed by a reference value will be provided. After the circuit is configured, the output clock signal delayed by a reference value can be synchronized with the standard clock signal.
