The standing wave circuit unit is usually composed of a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), and in a clock tree network circuit composed of the standing wave unit circuits, a reflected waveform having the same frequency and a phase difference of 180 ° as the original waveform is formed by transmitting a clock signal waveform and reflecting at the end of a transmission line, and the original waveform and the reflected waveform are superimposed to form a standing wave; the standing waves have the same phase at each node of the transmission line, but the amplitude of the clock signal is lost along with the transmission of the clock signal, so that the amplitudes of the original waveform and the reflected waveform forming the standing wave are inconsistent, additional clock disturbance (skew) is caused, and the amplitude of the clock signal is attenuated. The ripple circuit unit is usually a closed loop formed by two inverters connected end to end, the waveform amplitude of the clock signal at each point in the closed loop is equal, but as the clock signal is transmitted, the phase of each point on the transmission line changes with the position, which causes an additional clock timing asynchronization problem, and thus generates different levels of noise (jitter). In addition, no matter the clock tree network circuit is composed of standing wave circuit units or traveling wave circuit units, as the working frequency of the circuit is higher and higher, the transmitted clock signals are more and more sensitive to disturbance and noise in the circuit.

The resonant load circuit provided by this embodiment is provided with one or more differential ring oscillator circuits, each differential ring oscillator circuit is formed by a plurality of cascaded delay units, the plurality of cascaded delay units amplify the amplitude of the clock signal step by step, and each delay unit can adjust the oscillation frequency of the differential ring oscillator circuit by adjusting circuit parameters.
Because the clock signal is transmitted along the existing clock tree network circuit, the noise or amplitude attenuation generated by the clock signal due to circuit disturbance is introduced into the resonant load circuit provided by the embodiment, each differential ring-shaped oscillation circuit in the resonant load circuit amplifies the amplitude of the clock signal step by step through a plurality of cascaded delay units, so that the amplitude of the clock signal output from the clock tree network circuit can be increased, and the amplitude of the clock signal attenuated from the clock tree network circuit is recovered.

In another possible embodiment, the delay unit may include: the first amplifying frequency modulation unit and the second amplifying frequency modulation unit are symmetrically arranged, and are respectively provided with a first load adjusting unit, wherein the first load adjusting unit is used for adjusting circuit loads of the first amplifying frequency modulation unit and the second amplifying frequency modulation unit so as to adjust the oscillation frequency of the differential ring-shaped oscillation circuit; the clock signal includes a positive phase clock signal and a negative phase clock signal, and a phase difference between the positive phase clock signal and the negative phase clock signal is 180 °, so that a phase difference between a positive phase input-output end and a negative phase input-output end of the same differential ring oscillator circuit is 180 °. The first amplification frequency modulation unit is respectively electrically connected with the positive phase input end and the negative phase output end and is used for amplifying the amplitude of the positive phase clock signal and delaying the phase of the positive phase clock signal; the second amplification frequency modulation unit is respectively electrically connected with the negative phase input end and the positive phase output end, and is used for amplifying the amplitude of the negative phase clock signal and delaying the phase of the negative phase clock signal. Illustratively, each delay unit has the effect of phase delay on the input clock signal, the phase delay generated by each delay unit is 180 ° + Δ P, Δ P can be regarded as the equivalent phase delay of the first load adjusting unit, the phase delay of an odd number of delay units of 3 or more than 3 can satisfy an integer multiple of 360 °, and the gain of each delay unit is more than 1, and the two conditions are satisfied at the same time, the oscillation starting condition of the differential ring oscillator circuit can be achieved (the superposition of the delay phases of all the delay units is an integer multiple of 360 °). Specifically, taking fig. 2 as an example, the phase delay of each delay cell is 180 ° +60 °, and the phase delay of 3 delay cells is 720 ° (180 ° + 3+60 ° + 3). As shown in fig. 3, the phase delay of each delay unit is 180 ° +36 °, and the phase delay of 5 delay units is 1080 ° (180 ° + 5+36 ° + 5). The first amplifying frequency modulation unit and the second amplifying frequency modulation unit are symmetrically arranged, so that the delay of the two amplifying frequency modulation units to the phase of the clock signal is the same, but the phase difference of the clock signal input by the two amplifying frequency modulation units is 180 degrees.
In the resonant load circuit provided by this embodiment, the first amplification frequency modulation unit and the second amplification frequency modulation unit that are symmetrical to each other are disposed in the delay unit, the first amplification frequency modulation unit amplifies the amplitude of the positive phase clock signal and delays the phase of the positive phase clock signal, and the second amplification frequency modulation unit amplifies the amplitude of the negative phase clock signal and delays the phase of the negative phase clock signal. The same first load adjusting units are respectively arranged in the first amplification frequency modulation unit and the second amplification frequency modulation unit, the circuit loads of the first amplification frequency modulation unit and the second amplification frequency modulation unit can be adjusted through the first load adjusting units, circuit current can be adjusted through adjusting the circuit loads, and then the oscillation frequency of the differential ring-shaped oscillation circuit can be adjusted.
Illustratively, under the condition that other conditions are not changed, the circuit resistances of the first amplifying frequency modulation unit and the second amplifying frequency modulation unit in each delay unit are synchronously increased by adjusting parameters in the first load adjusting unit, the circuit current is reduced, and the oscillation frequency is reduced; under the condition that other conditions are not changed, the circuit capacitance is synchronously increased by adjusting parameters in the first load adjusting unit, and the oscillation frequency is reduced. When the oscillation frequency of the differential ring oscillation circuit is higher than the frequency of the input clock signal, the oscillation frequency of the differential ring oscillation circuit needs to be adjusted downwards so that the oscillation frequency and the frequency of the differential ring oscillation circuit are infinitely consistent; when the oscillation frequency of the differential ring oscillator circuit is lower than the frequency of the input clock signal, the oscillation frequency of the differential ring oscillator circuit needs to be adjusted up so that the two will be infinitely consistent. The arrangement of the first load adjusting unit can increase the oscillation frequency bandwidth of the whole differential ring oscillation circuit, and the applicability of the differential ring oscillation circuit can be widened.

For example, when the two switches SR1 are synchronously closed, the two resistors R1 are respectively connected to the first amplifying frequency modulation unit and the second amplifying frequency modulation unit, so that the resistance value in the circuit is increased, the current value is reduced, and the oscillation frequency is reduced. In addition, when the resistor R1 is an adjustable resistor, the resistance values of the two adjustable resistors R1 can be synchronously adjusted to change the resistance value in the circuit when the two switches SR1 are synchronously closed, so that the adjustment of the oscillation frequency is realized. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a case where a fixed current source i0 is connected, and the present application is not particularly limited. When the frequency of the input clock signal is greater than the oscillation frequency of the differential ring oscillation circuit, for example, the effect of down-regulating the oscillation frequency of the differential ring oscillation circuit is achieved by regulating the switch or the resistance value of the adjustable resistor, so that the frequency of the input clock signal and the oscillation frequency of the differential ring oscillation circuit tend to be the same. Specifically, the down-regulation of the oscillation frequency requires the load in the circuit to be reduced, and the two switches SR1 can be synchronously opened or the resistance values of the two adjustable resistors R1 can be synchronously adjusted down. The adjustable resistor is combined with the switch, so that the load adjusting range of the first load adjusting unit can be enlarged, the adjustable width of the oscillation frequency of the whole differential ring-shaped oscillation circuit can be further enlarged, and the applicability of the differential ring-shaped oscillation circuit can be widened.
