    Abstract: An apparatus and method for a dynamic wave-pipelined interface are implemented. Data signals received from a sending circuit delayed via a programmable delay device corresponding to each signal before being latched into the receiving device. The programmable delay in each delay device is set according to an initialization procedure whereby each signal is deskewed to a latest arriving signal. Additionally, a phase of an input/output (I/O) clock controlling the latching of the data signals is adjusted so that a latching transition is substantially centered in a data valid window.

    Abstract: A clock generation apparatus and method for generating clock signals for a microprocessor integrated circuit which includes a device which generates a reference frequency 26, an acoustic wave oscillator 18 having an oscillation frequency slightly faster than the reference frequency 26 and a circuit configuration coupled to the acoustic wave oscillator which generates frequency signals in response to an output of the acoustic wave oscillator. The frequency signals carry negligible jitter. The circuit configuration includes a quadrature rotator 12 for controlling clock phase, a clock distributor 14 for efficiently dispersing clock signals to the microprocessor integrated circuit, a bus divider 24 which provides a feedback clock signal phase aligned with the reference frequency, a phase detector 22 for detecting the phase difference of a bus clock signal and the feedback clock signal, and a digital filter 20 responsive to the phase detector.

    Abstract: An elastic interface apparatus and method are implemented. The elastic interface includes a plurality of storage units for storing a stream of data values, wherein each storage unit sequentially stores members of respective sets of data values. Each data value is stored for a predetermined number of periods of a local clock. Selection circuitry may be coupled to the storage units to select the respective data value from the data stream for storage i n the corresponding storage unit. Data is sequentially output from each storag e unit in synchrony with the local clock on a target cycle of the local clock.

    Abstract: Among a plurality of signals, each phase-shifted with respect to the others, one signal is repeatedly substituted for another as a clock signal, to reduce a phase error of the clock signal with respect to a reference clock. The substitutions are timed to occur during intervals tending to reduce disturbances to the clock signal. Also, such substitution of a signal is responsive to occurrence of at least one cycle of the signal subsequent to the clock being supplied by an immediate predecessor of the signal, which tends to prevent erroneous substitutions of one signal for another.
