Abstract: A plurality of clock signal phases are distributed to a circuit and at least one jitter source is coupled between at least two selected clock phases of the plurality of clock signal phases to introduce a jitter between at least the selected two clock signal phases. In a specific embodiment, the clock distribution system provides N clock phases and, if the phases have an order, there is one jitter source provided between each of the first N-1 phases and the following phase, so that each phase has a jitter relative to each other phase. Several implementations are possible for the jitter sources, which can be noise sources or pseudo-random noise sources, depending on which is easier to design and implement in a specific clock distribution system.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for implementing a processor with a split stack. In some embodiments, the processor includes a main stack and a micro-stack (146). The micro-stack (146) preferably is implemented in the core of the processor (102), whereas the main stack may be implemented in areas that are external to the core of the processor. Operands are preferably provided to an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) by the micro-stack, and in the case of underflow (micro-stack empty), operands may be fetched from the main stack. Operands are written to the main stack during overflow (micro-stack full) or by explicit flushing of the micro-stack. By optimizing the size of the micro-stack, the number of operands fetched from the main stack may be reduced, and consequently the processor's power consumption may be reduced.
