摘要:
An intelligent equalization technique is provided for a three-transmitter system in which mid-level transitions are selectively emphasized and de-emphasized to conserve power and reduce data jitter.
摘要:
Systems and methods for dividing input clock signals by programmable divide ratios can produce output clock signals with the delay from the input clock signal to the output clock signal independent of the value of the divide ratio and with the duty cycle of the output clock signal being 50% independent of the value of the divide ratio. An example programmable clock divider includes a modulo N counter that produces a count signal that counts modulo the divide ratio and a half-rate clock signal generator that produces a common half-rate clock signal, an even half-rate clock signal, and an odd half-rate clock signal that toggle at one-half the rate of the output clock signal. The common half-rate clock signal, the even half-rate clock signal, and the odd half-rate clock signal are combined to produce the output clock signal.
摘要:
System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within electronic equipment. Transmission lines are selectively terminated in an N-phase polarity encoded transmitter when the transmission lines would otherwise be undriven. Data is mapped to a sequence of symbols to be transmitted on a plurality of wires. The sequence of symbols is encoded in three signals. Each of the three terminals may be driven such that transistors are activated to couple a terminal to first and second voltage levels through a pair of impedances when the terminal would otherwise be undriven. The terminal is then pulled toward an intermediate voltage level while the terminal presents a desired impedance level to a transmission line.
摘要:
A termination network circuit for a differential signal transmitter comprises a plurality of n resistance elements and a plurality of differential signal drivers. A first end of each of the resistance elements is coupled at a common node, where n is an integer value and is the number of conductors used to transmit a plurality of differential signals. Each differential signal driver may include a positive terminal driver and a negative terminal driver. The positive terminal driver is coupled to a second end of a first resistance element while the negative terminal driver is coupled to a second end of a second resistance element. The positive terminal driver and the negative terminal driver are separately and independently switchable to provide a current having a magnitude and direction. During a transmission cycle each of the resistance elements has a current of a different magnitude and/or direction than the other resistance elements.
摘要:
System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. Information is transmitted in N-phase polarity encoded symbols. Drivers may be adapted or configured to align state transitions on two or more connectors in order to minimize a transition period between consecutive symbols. The drivers may include circuits that advance or delay certain transitions. The drivers may include pre-emphasis circuits that operate to drive the state of a connector for a portion of the transition period, even when the connector is transitioned to an undriven state.
摘要:
A clock recovery circuit is provided comprising a receiver circuit and a clock extraction circuit. The receiver circuit may be adapted to decode a differentially encoded signal on a plurality of data lines, where at least one data symbol is differentially encoded in state transitions of the differentially encoded signal. The clock extraction circuit may be adapted to obtain a clock signal from state transition signals derived from the state transitions.
