This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for a pulsed power supply assembly that distributes pulsed power to two or more loads using a single pulsed power supply. A pulsed power supply of the assembly can phase shift pulses to the different loads to ensure that there is no overlap between pulses at the outputs even where target frequencies and/or duty cycles for the different loads would otherwise call for such pulse overlaps. Variances applied by the pulsed power supply can be limited by attempts to keep average parameters of the pulse trains provided to the different loads to within predetermined variances.

Reduced-power dynamic data circuits with wide-band energy recovery are described herein. In one embodiment, a circuit system comprises at least one sub-circuit in which at least one of the sub-circuits includes a capacitive output node that is driven between low and high states in a random manner for a time period and an inductive circuit path coupled to the capacitive output node. The inductive circuit path includes a transistor switch and an inductor connected in series to discharge and recharge the output node to a bias supply. A pulse generator circuit generates a pulse width that corresponds to a timing for driving the output node.

The present disclosure provides a low-jitter frequency division clock circuit, including: a clock control signal generation circuit, to generate clock signals having different phases; a low-level narrow pulse width clock control signal generation circuit, to generate a low-level narrow pulse width clock control signal; a high-level narrow pulse width clock control signal generation circuit, to generate a high-level narrow pulse width clock control signal; and a frequency division clock generation circuit, to generate a frequency division clock signal according to low-level narrow pulse width clock control signal and high-level narrow pulse width clock control signal. The delay from a clock input end to an output end of low-jitter frequency division clock circuit is up to three logic gates. Compared with traditional divide-by-2 frequency division clock circuits based on D-flip-flop, the low-jitter frequency division clock circuit of the present disclosure has fewer logic gates, a shorter delay, and lower jitter.

One embodiment includes a clock distribution system. The system includes at least one resonator spine that propagates a clock signal and at least one resonator rib conductively coupled to the at least one resonator spine and being arranged as a standing wave resonator. At least one of the at least one resonator rib has a thickness that varies along a length of the respective one of the at least one resonator rib. The system also includes at least one transformer-coupling line. Each of the at least one transformer-coupling line can be conductively coupled to an associated circuit and being inductively coupled to the at least one resonator rib to inductively generate a clock current corresponding to the clock signal to provide functions for the associated circuit.

Disclosed is a method for spreading spectrum, which includes: acquiring a modulation signal corresponding to a clock signal, when the clock signal is detected; and spectrum spreading the clock signal according to the modulation signal, wherein the modulation signals respectively corresponding to two adjacent clock signals are opposite in phase. The present disclosure further provides a chip, a display panel, and a computer readable storage medium. The present disclosure solves the technical problem of poor spread spectrum effect on dual clock signals.

Networks, methods, and circuitries are provided that propagate an actuator signal to a plurality of devices in a respective plurality of voltage domains. The network includes a first signal path disposed between an actuator signal source and a first device. The first signal path includes a first point at which the actuator signal is in a first voltage domain. A second signal path is disposed between the actuator signal source and a second device. The second signal path includes a second point at which the actuator signal is in a second voltage domain. The first voltage domain is different from, and has a fixed relationship to, the second voltage domain. A multi-domain coupling circuitry is connected to the first point and the second point. The multi-domain coupling circuitry is configured to maintain the fixed relationship between the actuator signal at the first point and the second point.

Technologies are provided for time-to-digital conversion without reliance on a clocking signal. Some embodiments of the technologies include a clockless TDC apparatus that can map continuous pulse-widths to binary bits represented via an iterative chaotic map (e.g., tent map, Bernoulli shift map, or similar). The clockless TDC apparatus can convert separated pulses to a single asynchronous digital pulse that turns on when a sensor detects a first pulse and turns off when the sensor detects a second pulse. The asynchronous digital pulse can be iteratively stretched and folded in time according to the chaotic map. The clockless TDC can generate a binary sequence that represents symbolic dynamics of the chaotic map. The process can be implemented by using an iterative time delay component until a precision of the binary output is either satisfied or overwhelmed by noise or other structural fluctuations of the TDC apparatus.

The dual minimum pulse generator is configured to, responsive to an input pulse on the input of the dual minimum pulse generator having a pulse width less than a predetermined delay time period, generate a pulse on the first output of the dual minimum pulse generator that has a pulse width equal to a sum of the pulse width of the input pulse and the predetermined delay time period. A driver is coupled to the output of the dual minimum pulse generator.
