Patent ID: 11967358
Assignee: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 5:
6. An apparatus comprising:
an oscillator circuit configured to provide an internal clock signal asynchronous to a clock signal;
a BTI logic circuit configured to generate a BTI pulse signal synchronized to the clock signal based on the internal clock signal, the BTI pulse signal including a plurality of pulses;
a clock gating circuit configured to allow at least a part or parts of the clock signal overlapping the plurality of pulses to pass through as a gated clock signal;
a clock input buffer configured to provide an input signal as the clock signal;
a first clock toggle logic circuit configured to provide the periodic BTI signal as the input signal to the clock input buffer when a mode signal is active;
a second clock toggle logic circuit configured to provide the BIT pulse signal at the active level when the mode signal is active, wherein the mode signal is active when the apparatus is in an unclocked mode.
