20100102869 | Apparatus and Method for Generating a Clock Signal - An apparatus and method are disclosed for generating one or more clock signals. A clock signal is generated based on pattern signals and a reference clock signal. When the reference clock signal transitions high, the state of a first pattern signal is output, and when the reference clock signal transitions low, the state of a second pattern signal is output. Successive states of the first and second pattern signals, selected according to the reference clock signal, provide the generated clock signal. | 04-29-2010 |
20120293195 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TESTING INTEGRATED CIRCUITS - Aspects of the disclosure provide a testing method. The method includes supplying a power supply from a voltage regulator to a device under test (DUT). The DUT includes an adaptive voltage scaling module configured to generate a feedback signal in response to the power supply. Further, the method includes receiving the feedback signal from the DUT to the voltage regulator to regulate the power supply based on the feedback signal from the DUT, and determining whether the DUT meets a specified performance requirement while the voltage regulator regulates the power supply provided to the DUT based on the feedback signal received from the DUT. | 11-22-2012 |
