Multiples of the system clock Feb 21, 2008

Wenjer Leuschel wrote:

Steve,

No, I am not translating anything like that. I just want to know what if a system clock is composed of an oscillator and the same oscillator with two outputs 90° out of phase to have sine and cosine combined at the same time. The idea is, sine and cosine would cancell each other at 90° and 270° and thus produce a distinct drop at those points, while during other times, the oscillation is either "high" or "low." The precision is a problem, I know.

Wenjer,

Yes, to produce an exact 90 degree phase shift could be a challenge. In addition, the lack of a multiplier relationship to the reference clock could also be problematic. The rising and falling edges won't exactly be at the 1/4 and 3/4 points of the sine wave. They are actually a bit more to the left. Don't quote me, but I think they are at the 1/8 and 5/8 points of the sine wave.

It's good to have a multiplier relationship between the system clock and the reference clock, especially if any other multiples of the system clock is needed, for example a 2x system clock or a 4x system clock. They then can all be generated using the same PLL.

Steve,

I can see the reason why we need a muliplier relationship between the system clock and the reference clock. If we want to invert a 2x system clock and divide it then for a 90° shift to the left, we need the relationship.

However, the sine and the cosine waves cross at 1/8 to maintain "high" until they reach 1/4 of the cycle to sum up to zero and falls to "low" immediately after. From the falling edge at 1/4 on, it must stay at "low" even when both waves cross at 5/8 of the cycle. When they reach 3/4, the sum rises to zero and jumps to "high" immediately after. This is easily calculated by definition of sine and cosine. But we know that there isn't such "idealistic" waves in the reality to sum up to be an "idealistic" clock as such. So, there must be some clocking between 3/16 and 5/16 as well as between 11/16 and 13/16 to ensure the reading of "high" and "low."

I know it isn't easy to realize such a system clock, the more difficult the higher frequency is. But, what I wanted to know is if it is possible theoretically. Purely mathematically, the sum of a sine and a cosine do make such distinct falls and rises, doesn't it? Or else, a sine wave is already good enough to serve as a system clock, isn't it?

I appreciate your hint to PLL for possible realization of a cosine wave with the one and the same oscillator. At least it confirms my supposition of the possibility of having a system clock with the sum of sine and cosine. A lot of trouble, I know, but it's possible to achieve such a "discrete timing" as I presumed.

- Wenjer

P.S. Here I got one sine/cosine wave oscillator.
http://www.interq.or.jp/japan/se-inoue/e_ckt20.htm
However, it is in low frequency. I guess, it must be quite difficult in high frequency.

Reference Clock Feb 21, 2008

Wenjer,

Theoretically, yes. You can sum a sine wave and a cosine wave to achieve a bigger amplitude in the waveform, and therefore also achieve a more dramatic rise and fall.

There are also some other considerations in maintaining the synchronicity between the reference clock and the system clock. For example, a microprocessor is typically fed by a lower frequency reference clock generated on the system board. Typically one would want to synchronize the system clock

There are also some other considerations in maintaining the synchronicity between the reference clock and the system clock. For example, a microprocessor is typically fed by a lower frequency reference clock generated on the system board. Typically one would want to synchronize the system clock used by the microprocessor to that used by the other system control chips on the board as much as possible. Of course, with today's high speed devices, that sometimes becomes a challenge.

To tell you the truth, Steve, I am glad that I am out of that field since decades. Or else, I would have headaches to cope with the high frequencies and high speeds of nowadays.

方便的话,简单讲一下我就会明白。

能劝阻就尽量劝阻 Feb 26, 2008

chance,

大部分国内来的团组没有提过特殊要求,或有不当行为。他们在完成任务前提下,无非是希望玩得好一点,吃得好一点。这些都是可以理解的,与公司方针也不冲突。我就尽量满足他们的要求。唯有一个代表团,在迈阿密时,晚饭后想去那种声色场所“开眼界”。我以晚上不安全为由加以劝阻。结果那位团长就很客气地让我自己回旅馆休息,他们“自由活动”。事后,我严格执行 “Don’t ask. Don’t tell”的policy。

一般的夜总会应该没什么。他们大概是去了那种色情场所。按理说,出国团组在国外出了什么事,团长也脱不了干系。老头那天是不是犯困想早点睡觉,所以逃过一劫? 现在他们若想去那种场所,就不必出国了。

80年代,天津某大公司有个团去日本。日方替他们付了旅馆费,然后把发票给他们回国报销。于是,他们就用这笔钱每人买了台彩电。回国后风声走漏,团长被判一年徒刑。要是搁现在,这点事算什么?那团长是搞技术出身的副总经理、引进项目现场总代表。外方总代表不知他为何突然消失。新任总代表说他病了。外方总代表就说,那就等他病好了再谈,你不懂,我跟你讲不清!没想到那前任总代表的病假比产假还长得多。:D

80年代在国内工作时,哪怕出国就是为了出席一天的国际会议,也得接受3天外事教育。从宣读文件一直到告诉你喝汤不准发出声。像拉斯维加斯、大西洋赌城、自由女神像这些地方按规定都是不准去的,日本东京新宿的歌舞伎町、靖国神社也是不准去的。如果去莫斯科开一天的会,3天外事教育,去时坐一星期的火车,回来也是一星期的火车。这种会还不如不参加。
