Patent number: 7786782Abstract: A method and apparatus to implement clock signal adaptation is provided to characterize an input clock signal that is to be adapted and in response, generate adaptation updates at each subsequent clock cycle of the input clock signal. In a first embodiment, clock signal adaptation occurs through duty cycle correction (DCC) to substantially achieve a 50% duty cycle. In an alternate embodiment, clock signal adaptation occurs through a multiplication operation that is applied to the clock signal to be adapted, whereby the multiplication operation is parameterizable to allow odd/even multiplication. In an alternate embodiment, clock signal adaptation occurs through a phase-shift operation that is applied to the clock signal to be adapted, whereby the phase-shift operation is parameterizable to allow all possible fractions and percentages of phase shifts.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2008Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Xilinx, Inc.Inventors: Scott Te-Sheng Lien, Mark Men Bon Ng, Jesse H.

Patent number: 7397273Abstract: Voltage level translation for open-drain circuitry is described. A logic isolation circuit includes a first buffer circuit configured for being switched between a first voltage transferable state and a first voltage non-transferable state. A first latch circuit is configured for being switched between a first reset state and a first non-reset state, the first reset state for setting the first latch circuit to a first reset condition. A second buffer circuit and second latch circuit are configured like the first buffer circuit and the first latch circuit. First and second input/output nodes are coupled to receive first and second logic level voltages, respectively. The first logic level voltage and the second logic level voltage are both for a same logic state, but the second logic level voltage is significantly greater than the first logic level voltage.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2006Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Assignee: Xilinx, Inc.Inventors: Mark Men Bon Ng, Scott Te-Sheng Lien
