  • Programmable clock spreading
    Patent number: 9032356
    Abstract: An integrated circuit having a programmable clock spreader configured to generate a plurality of controllably skewed clock signals, each applied to a corresponding region within the integrated circuit with circuitry configured to be triggered off the applied clock signal. The programmable clock spreader is designed to enable customization of the current-demand characteristics exhibited by the integrated circuit, e.g., based on the circuit's spectral impedance profile, to cause transient voltage droops in the power-supply network of the integrated circuit to be sufficiently small to ensure proper and reliable operation of the integrated circuit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2013
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2015
    Assignee: LSI Corporation
    Inventors: James G. Monthie, Vineet Sreekumar, Ranjit Yashwante
