Abstract: A programmable clock control circuit includes a base block configured to control operation of the programmable clock control circuit and a chop block configured to control the width of an output clock signal of the programmable clock control circuit. The circuit also includes a pulse width variation block providing a pulse width variation output to the base block, the base block output being variable to provide at least three different output pulse widths. The circuit also includes a launch clock delay block coupled to delay the output of the base block and a scan clock delay block to delay the output pulse and a selector that causes either the scan clock delay block or the launch clock delay block to be active based on a value of a scan gate signal.

Abstract: A compare circuit for comparing a first data word with a second data word includes a plurality of sub-circuits, each having a two-bit static compare stage and a dynamic complex logic stage; a dynamic compare node responsive to respective outputs of the sub-circuits; and an output latch that captures a comparison result in accordance with a logic state of the dynamic compare node. In an exemplary embodiment, a local clock generator provides a single controlling clock signal for clocking the output latch, precharging of the dynamic compare node, and clocking of the dynamic complex logic stage of the sub-circuits.
