    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a method of calibrating an isolator system. The method may comprise the steps of driving a common signal to a pair of input terminals of the isolator system; measuring differences in signals at output terminals of the isolator system; and varying impedance of impedance elements connected between the output terminals and a center-tap terminal of the isolator system until a mismatch at the output terminals is minimized.

    摘要: Aging effects on devices fabricated using deep nanometer complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes can cause circuits to exhibit an undesirable mismatch buildup over time. To address the aging effects, the connections to an array of M differential circuits are controlled to limit and systematically minimize or reverse the aging effects. In one embodiment, the controlling permutation sequence is selected to stress the array of M differential circuits under opposite stress conditions during at least two different time periods. Imposing opposite stress conditions, preferably substantially equal opposite stress conditions, can reverse the direction of a mismatch buildup and limit the mismatch buildup over time within acceptable limits. The controlling permutation sequence can be applied to an array of comparators of an analog-to-digital converter, or an array of differential amplifiers of a folding analog-to-digital converter.

    摘要: A method for linearizing a non-linear system element includes acquiring data representing inputs and corresponding outputs of the non-linear system element. A model parameter estimation procedure is applied to the acquired data to determine model parameters of a model characterizing input-output characteristics of the non-linear element. An input signal representing a desired output signal of the non-linear element is accepted and processed to form a modified input signal according to the determined model parameters. The processing includes, for each of a series of successive samples of the input signal, applying an iterative procedure to determining a sample of the modified input signal according to a predicted output of the model of the non-linear element. The modified input signal is provided for application to the input of the non-linear element.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for clock and data recovery (CDR) are provided herein. In certain configurations, a first CDR circuit captures data and edge samples from a first input data stream received over a first lane. The data and edge samples are used to generate a master phase signal, which is used to control a phase of a first data sampling clock signal used for capturing the data samples. Additionally, the first CDR circuit generates a master phase error signal based on changes to the master phase signal over time, and forwards the master phase error signal to at least a second CDR circuit. The second CDR circuit processes the master phase error signal to generate a slave phase signal used to control a phase of a second data sampling clock signal used for capturing data samples from a second input data stream received over a second lane.
