    Abstract: A circuit for controlling the duty cycle of a high frequency logic system clock using negative feedback. A high-level buffer (18) used to drive the system clock bus receives the output of a crystal oscillator (40). The buffer output (50) is sampled by an integrator circuit which produces a voltage level corresponding to the duty cycle of the clock, and this voltage level is compared to a reference voltage using an operational amplifier (60). The op-amp output (70) is applied to the buffer input (75) as negative feedback to alter the bias level at the buffer input (75) in a way as to vary the point in the rising and falling transitions of the crystal oscillator (40) where the threshold of the buffer (48) is crossed. A circuit (52,54) monitors the clock signal output of a high-level buffer (48), and determines whether the duty cycle of the crystal oscillator (40) which drives the output buffer (48) should be increased or decreased. A corresponding DC bias to the input of the output buffer (48) causes the crystal oscillator (40) output to reach threshold levels of the output buffer (48) at different times during each clock pulse, thus adjusting the duty cycle of the buffer output (50). An RC integrator (52,54) is used to monitor the buffer output, and the output of this integrator is compared with a reference voltage in an operational amplifier (60). The output of the operational amplifier (60) biases the input (75) to the output buffer (48) to a level corresponding to a need to increase or decrease the duty cycle of the buffer output clock signal.

    Abstract: A bus ring-back and voltage over-shoot reduction apparatus with capability for rendering an expansion slot (408) of a computer system hot-pluggable, wherein a logic gate (406) controls a switching element so that when the element is turned on, the input and output (I/O) nodes of the element are in a low ohmic conductive relationship. One of the I/O nodes is coupled to an expansion card (410) whereas the other node is coupled to a bus (404) to which the expansion slot is connected. The apparatus (406) operates as a level shifter wherein the output node voltage follows the input node voltage until pinch-off such that the output voltage remains substantially stable thereafter. The apparatus also isolates the expansion card (410) from the bus (404) when the system is running or during the powering up of the card.
