Abstract: A cascaded multi-loop Phase-Locked Loop (CMPLL) includes a primary loop and multiple secondary loops according to a hierarchy. The primary loop is highest in the hierarchy and each of the secondary loops is completed by components of loops higher in the hierarchy. Each loop at a lower level provides a corresponding correction signal to correct any drift from a specification frequency of a respective loop at one or more of the higher levels. The CMPLL further includes a set of bypass circuits. Each bypass circuit is coupled between a first loop and a second loop located at least one skip-level in the hierarchy, and propagates a substitute signal as the corresponding correction signal from the first loop to the second loop when a loop at the skip-level is inoperative.

The primary loop is an open-loop circuit. In an embodiment, the open-loop circuit is a fractional frequency divider.

Abstract: A method executed within a virtual machine (VM) host computer system includes determining, during VM provisioning, a physical peripheral device with confidential and non-confidential modes is to be assigned to the VM. Based on an attribute linked to the VM, the VM host directs the physical peripheral device to switch to the confidential mode and subsequently connects the physical peripheral device to the VM. Later, during the shutdown of the VM, the VM host determines that the physical peripheral device is assigned to the VM and that the physical peripheral device is operating in confidential mode. The VM host instructs the physical peripheral device to switch to the non-confidential mode and unassigns the physical peripheral device from the VM.

Abstract: An electronic block includes multiple independent Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) and a switch matrix. Each PLL has an input path and an output path. The switch matrix is operable to concurrently connect a respective signal on the output path of each PLL to the input path of another PLL.

In an embodiment, each PLL includes a frequency-correction signal combiner to combine the frequency-correction signals received from any of the other PLLs with its own frequency-correction signal to form a combined frequency-correction signal. The combined frequency-correction signal is provided to a controlled oscillator in the PLL to generate an output clock of the PLL based on the combined frequency-correction signal. The frequency-correction signals may be analog or digital signals.
