Technical field
High temporary degree of accuracy, high-energy, multistage pipeline cmos buffer device
Background technology
VLSI CMOS logical unit adopt usually impact damper (current amplifier) with allow the control signal fast driving such as those by interconnection or capacity load that transistor capacitance was produced.
Traditionally, thus the CMOS chain of inverters with progressive big level will be cascaded in low drive signal and the effective impact damper of formation between such as the high capacitance load of clock load.More multistagely provide more powerful output of power and conversion (lifting/lowering number of times) faster, but cause the propagation delay of increase between input conversion and output conversion.In addition, described time delay is non-constant, but depends on the variation of CMOS processing/temperature and supply voltage (PVT).
Described variation is the time delay that is used to modulate any impact damper, and for example the variation of 10% supply voltage can produce variation 10% time delay in impact damper.
In the application that distributes such as clock, the temporary degree of accuracy of signal is most important.For the classification of clock system, the variation that is known as " time lag " and time delay time delay is known as " shake ".
Figure 1A/D29 shows the common structure of the multistage inverter buffer of standard CMOS.
So far, the lithographic plate convergent-divergent of CMOS (lithographic scaling) has produced the useful performance from impact damper gradually.When each the generation, shrink process produces transistor faster, it will imply the time lag of reduction, but present transistorized variation (length variations that for example has the device of 0.13u or following grid length) can produce the impact damper of the time delay that has relative to each other (even on same die) serious mismatch.Another problem of installing convergent-divergent is the supply voltage of reduction and higher source current, and it causes and will modulate and the direct power supply noise that exert an influence to shake by delay.
For timing was used, wherein impact damper was placed on the entire wafer, and the matching delay time very crucial (definite delay is really unimportant), buffering become be difficult to solve and can cause according to reports up to+/-uncertainty of 1000pS.
Except that postponing variation, impact damper commonly used shows unwanted proterties more than two.
Too much input capacitance
Each grade has P and the N transistor that typical total capacitance is the 2.5+1=3.5 relative unit.For any conversion of impact damper, all these electric capacity must be charged to another polarity.This has reduced the performance of impact damper, because before next stage activates, each level must make a transistor charging close and make another transistor charging to open.
Connect or cross-conduction spiking (spike)
When the conversion input voltage, each P passage/N passage inverter stage then shows a direct current path at the S-D of P passage between the D-S on the N passage.In the transition period, the clock energy up to 10% is wasted in conduction simultaneously.
The problem list of cmos buffer device
Generally, the standard CMOS impact damper shows following passive attribute:
The long time delay (in the clock distribution applications, producing up to 20 distribution levels) that needs long chain of inverters by CTS (clock trees synthetics).
Because the delay that deep sub-micron processes control problem causes changes (time lag).
Crossed the shake of the supply voltage noise introducing of long delay by modulation.
By adjusting the excess energy consumption (substantially exceeding Cload*V2*F) that the excessive impact damper of size causes for reaching acceptable delay.
1 and 2 s' effect can be by using such as the feedback technique of PLL (phase-lock loop) and DLL (delay-locked loop) and greatly offset, but these technology will increase problem 3 and 4 and the influence of increase chip area.

Embodiment
The pipeline method of buffered clock signal
For alleviating the problems referred to above 1,2,3, should make impact damper have minimum possible delay.This will point out the minimum number of existing level in the chain, only be a level ideally.Yet this is also infeasible, is generally a weak signal because drive the circuit of impact damper--as, the impossible logical signal that directly drives huge single impact damper.
For the periodicity clock generating is used, known if postpone between impact damper coupling and therefore clock signal be synchronous fully, the bulk delay of impact damper is unimportant so.
This knowledge allows to use the pipeline method to cushion.Logical pipeline is known by people, and wherein finishing its logic evaluation before next event clock, so it is delivered to next pipe level with the result to each logic level by clock signal control.Logical pipeline can be consistent with the overall stand-by period of height (many circulations), but with the throughput consistent (in case described pipe is full of) of an operation of each clock circulation.The pipeline buffers of creating simple form with make the logical pipeline equivalence, but described logical pipeline does not have in related actual logic at different levels, only identical input state (or inverse state of input state) is delivered to the next stage synchronous with the clock edge.
In-line can add logic to allow the logical timer gating.If impact damper pipeline at different levels becomes (aspect transistor width) greatly progressively, it becomes stronger (as aspect its driving force) when pipeline moves down when signal so, and it can be amplified to any desired intensity by adding pipeline stages new, that progressively increase.Because the house-keeping (overhead) of clock, so may be longer than the conventional cmos buffer chain time delay of pipeline method usually, but the key point that should note is to be controlled to be time delay N clock circulation (N is a length of pipeline)+1 buffer delay time (final impact damper).Uncertain is the time delay of single-stage impact damper--the N circulation delay time is also uncorrelated with the cyclical signal such as clock.
The applied clock gating is to be used for not containing the operation of glitch in pipeline.
The separation path method of buffered clock signal
The standard cmos buffer utensil of Figure 1A/D29 has the path that can be described as " combination " path, it is used to amplify the signal of opposed polarity, and promptly to pass P passage/N passage identical to the circuit paths of inverter stage for the logical one input signal circuit paths that advances to output institute edge and logical zero.This causes separating too much delay that path design compares (previous mentioning) with following.
Be the time delay of quickening impact damper, it can be divided into path, two paths (only at two separation circuits exporting and/or make up the input) " 1 drives " and " 0 drives ".
Because each circuit has only in order to specific output polarity is carried out the megacryst pipe in " unlatching " path, so each path can (still need small transistor to make the path be reset to " off-line " on the non-activation output cycle, but these not influence speed) very soon.Lack huge device to be closed and conventional cmos chain of inverters and form contrast, wherein non-activation polar transistor can slow down the carrying out that any state changes in the impact damper.
" 1 " and " 0 " path of separating is made up at outgoing side, and for the subsidiary benefit of independent pathway system for when reasonable in design, can eliminate the cross-conduction current spike signal.By the signal timing of controlling two paths final N passage and P lane device are activated never simultaneously.
One exemplary embodiment
Fig. 2/D29 is the structural drawing of the illustrative example of system of global timing, incorporates in the system of described global timing to be useful on pipeline, the sub-path impact damper that drives final clock load.
The high frequency 4 phase 3.125GHz rotary clock network coverages have an entire wafer of phase locking clock.Local frequency division or more complicated waveform logic (BWB is referring to application GB 0203605.1) have produced the required clock signal that is used to supply to impact damper.In this example, used a 1mm * 1mm grid of BWB and impact damper, and needed each impact damper in the area of its 1mm2, to drive to reach 50pF.
The transfer point generator
(Fig. 2/D29) is provided for frequency division and/or produces the timing sequence signal of random waveform to be driven into " transfer point " pattern generator of high speed 3.125GHz rotary clock from tap.Show two-stage.For more than 2 grades, with CLK 90 and then CLK 270 (or 180 degree clocks of other out of phase) the alternation level is carried out timing.Circuit is at " height " time durations of each self-clock, operates by will " 1 " on OUTN being sent to OUTN+1.
This circuit can replace those circuit in [application GB 0203605.1] and have and the similar output waveform of Fig. 3/D 30 those output waveforms that is used for 6 grades of designs.
Sequence on each edge of 3.125 GHz clocks, advance (6.25GHz speed, i.e. 160 pS at interval).When reaching new " point " position, feedback transistor nclr and pclr are reduced to static state with first prime.Offset transistor (not shown) be as nch and the pch transistor through being connected, but its grid is connected respectively to Vdd and 0v, and adjusts size and absorb leakage current so that the slight shift electric current to be provided.
Transfer point generator (with typical rotary clock electronic equipment) is positioned at the node place of rotary clock grid.When tap was told in the correct selection one of in to 4 local phase, the global clock phasing between any two corners was on the 3.125GHz mostly+/-30pS.May designing the impact damper with slightly different time delay, to offset the known phase of source clock poor.
A plurality of for making " transfer point " generator is synchronous, the final output of a generator is connected to the input of next generator on the wafer.These links are configured so that main generator (it is a unique generator that is configured to produce circular pattern (output at last is fed back to first input))) can force all other generators moved further same with it.Synchronization consumes many " (wrap-around) unrolls " with pulsation around entire wafer.Fig. 2/D29 shows this.
For the chip area that is taken by transfer point sequencer (it can be long up to 100) is minimized, will adjust transistor size and make it near minimum feature size.Little circuit like this has more weak output driving force and can drive at it to be needed before may being equivalent to the load of 50pF local clock through buffering.
The pipeline buffers circuit
Show sub-path pipeline buffers (split path pipelined buffer) among Fig. 4.
Upper path finishes " 1 " outgoing route with the P lane device.
Lower path finishes " 0 " outgoing route with the N lane device.
Because signal moves with each 1/2 clock circulation, so each path and transfer point generator circuit have some similar part, but in these buffer chain, transistor size may increase gradually with the amplitude of 5 times of each increases at different levels.For " 1 " path, begin with 8 microns wide first order input N passages, finish with the P passage output buffer that is enough to after driving 2150 microns of 50pF 4 grades under the 200pS.
The input that to arrive each path first order sends in an output of transfer point sequencer (or using in a plurality of outputs of OR-gate).
In the example simulation, may be to the input in " 1 " path from the Q0 output of transfer point generator, the input of wherein arriving " 0 " impact damper path may be from the Q 4 (it is for after two recycle to extinctions of 3.125GHz clock) of transfer point generator.The result of this configuration is illustrated in the Spice result of Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B.
Pipeline from IN and IN_N postpones--and RNTO Q0 and Q4 are unimportant for the circulation Generation of Clock Signal.
But because the recycle of capacitive character energy, so when using the rotary clock tap, the high frequency clock energy consumption that drives this pipeline is very low.
Eliminate perforation electric current (Shoot-through current)
What show on " 1 " path of Fig. 4 is the transistor that grid is reset on final P passage (w=2143u) transistor.By driving this circuit from " early " output of " 0 " path chain " except that 1 then go out advanced person (out_lastbut 1) ".Activation signal provides the early stage indication that will be switched about " 0 " output transistor herein, thereby to allow big P passage in time to turn-off the perforation conduction current of avoiding in the output stage.Do not show by the circuit of closing " 0 " output transistor from the early stage indication of " 1 " pipeline, but can easily from previous example, derive.
Logic gate and the programmable tapping point of use from the transfer point sequencer to two impact damper paths can be created the random waveform with 160pS resolution.Select other two-phase in 4 phase clocks can make the sequence biasing+/-80pS.Because the transfer point sequence is round-robin (unrolling), so will produce continuous wave with the frequency lower in the OUT port than global clock speed.
Because the transfer point generator on the wafer is synchronous operation, thus any local clock can be created, but other clock has accurate phase place and frequency relation on itself and the wafer.This helps the SOC of many IP block integrated.
Other selection (transfer point+able to programme decoding) IN and the IN_N signal to be provided for branch pipeline buffers of existence except using AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator).A kind of technology is to use from the overall situation distribution IN of external pin and IN_N signal.IN through distributing and IN_N signal self can be by pipelineization (that is, periodically resample on the upper frequency rotary clock edge in distributing and emission again) to keep aligning.Use this configuration to allow to carry out external control for internal clocking impact damper from (for example) external testing clock generator.With regard to/V circulation, will have the stand-by period (latency), but the random variation of last several buffer level is still very little.
