ABSTRACT:
A performance-sensing element (PSE) circuit detects the actual speed of other circuits on the same chip by launching a pulse into a tapped cascade of circuits on the chip, then detecting how far the pulse has progressed after a known interval. Control signals indicating circuit speed can stabilize parameters of the other circuits, such as rate of change of current (di/dt) in driver circuits, absolute delay of clock signals from one chip to another, and relative delay of multiple clock signals within the chip.
