Patent attributes
A system includes an input device, an output device, a mechanical chassis, a printed circuit board, and a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a mechanical package, and a semiconductor die. The semiconductor die includes a semiconductor layer, a plurality of metal layers, a clock distribution network that distributes a clock signal within the die, and an economy precision pulse generating circuit. The economy precision pulse generating circuit includes a pre-charge circuit, a gate-to-the-partial-jam-latch-keeper circuit, a partial-jam-latch-keeper circuit, and a pull-down-against-the-up-keeper circuit. A source clock signal is derived from the clock signal. The source clock signal is provided to a first input of a logical AND circuit, the pre-charge circuit, and the gate-to-the-partial-jam-latch-keeper circuit. A common storage node is connected to a second input of the logical AND circuit. The logical AND circuit outputs an output pulse. The output pulse is fed back to the pull-down-against-the-up-keeper circuit.
