Abstract: A clock doubler includes a first NAND gate having a first input for receiving a clock input signal and a second input, a second NAND gate having a first input and a second input for receiving a complement of the clock input signal, an output NAND gate having a first and second inputs coupled to outputs of the first and second NAND gates, respectively, and an output for providing a clock output signal, an inverter chain having an input for receiving the clock input signal and responsive to first and second control signals to selectively provide a first true output to the first input of the second NAND gate, and a second complementary output to the second input of the first NAND gate, and a control signal generation circuit providing the first and second control signals in response to the outputs of the first and second NAND gates.

Abstract: In one form, a clock doubler includes a switched inverter, an exclusive logic circuit, and a control signal generation circuit. The switched inverter has first and second control inputs for respectively receiving first and second control signals, a signal input for receiving a clock input signal, and an output. The exclusive logic circuit has a first input for receiving the clock input signal, a second input coupled to the output of the switched inverter, and an output for providing a clock output signal. A control signal generation circuit provides the first and second control signals in response to the clock output signal. The clock doubler may be used in a clock distribution circuit for an integrated circuit that also includes a phase locked loop for providing the input clock signals, and a plurality of clock sub-domains each having one of the clock doublers.

Abstract: A processing system includes one or more power supply monitors (PSMs) to measure one or more first voltages corresponding to one or more locations in the processing system. The measurements are performed concurrently with the processing system executing one or more code loops. The processing system also includes calibration logic to modify a second voltage provided to the processing system based on a comparison of a reference voltage and the one or more first voltages. The reference voltage is determined based on previous execution of the one or more code loops by the processing system.
