Abstract
This paper proposes an all-digital, automated, clock generator based on a free-running oscillator that can generate arbitrarily precise frequencies. The entire system can be implemented using standard cells and even has a compensation system to mitigate the effects of environmental variations on frequency. The design is implemented in VHDL and synthesized using Artisan standard-cells in TSMC’s 180nm CMOS technology. Post-layout timing analysis shows that the proposed free-running period synthesizer (FPRS) can operate at a frequency of up to 175 MHz. The architecture was also validated with an implementation on a Xilinx’s Spartan 3 FPGA that works at 80 MHz. In both implementations, the worst case peak to peak jitter of the output clock is equal to one period of the free-running oscillator.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
