    摘要: A slave communication device may transmit a packet to the master communication device, with the packet including a transmission time field and a correction field. The transmission time field may contain a value indicative of an approximate time of transmission of the packet by the slave communication device, and the correction field may contain a value indicative of a difference between the approximate time of transmission and an actual time of transmission of the packet by the slave communication device.

    摘要: A physical layer communication device (PHY) transmits and receives signal to and from a communication link using a synchronous protocol. The PHY communicates with a higher-layer device using a packet protocol. Timestamp values contained in timing-related messages in some packets are written or modified by the PHY. Delays incurred in transmitting and receiving the packets are predicted and used in setting the timestamp values.

    摘要: A high bandwidth clock buffer, including a steering circuit, significantly increases the maximum frequency at which CMOS technology can be used to perform high-speed logic functions. In particular, the clock buffer includes a steering circuit for enhancing a voltage follower stage. The steering circuit includes steering transistors positioned between voltage follower transistors and constant current sources. The steering circuit switches all or substantially all of the current from both of the constant current sources through whichever of the two voltage follower transistors is being pulled low, thus doubling the amount of current that is available for slewing when the output is being pulled low. At the same time, since the voltage follower transistor that is being pulled high no longer has to source the constant current I0, the effective maximum current that can be supplied to charge up the load capacitance is increased by approximately I0. The clock buffer provides a higher unity gain bandwidth than a standard CML buffer, while maintaining a well controlled delay which will track other logic gates.

    摘要: An asynchronous serial crosspoint switch is word synchronized to each of a number of transceiver circuits. The crosspoint switch circuit generates both a master bit clock and a master word clock signal. A transceiver circuit recovers the master bit clock signal from an incoming high-speed serial data stream using a clock and data recovery circuit. The recovered bit clock signal is used as a timing signal by which data is serialized and transmitted to the crosspoint switch circuit. The data stream transmitted to the switch circuit is frequency locked to the master bit clock signal, such that the serial data stream need only be phase adjusted with a data recovery circuit. To recover word timing, the switch circuit issues alignment words to the transceivers during link initialization. The transceivers perform word alignment and establish a local word lock. Alignment words are then reissued to the switch circuit using the local word clock. The switch circuit compares the boundary of the received word clock to the master word clock and, if misaligned, the transceiver shifts its transmitted word by one bit and retries. Necessary edge transition density is provided by overhead bits which also designate special command words asserted between a transceiver and a switch circuit. Flow control information is routed from a receiving transceiver back to the transmitting transceiver using the overhead bits in order to assert a ready-to-receive or a not-ready-to-receive flow control signal. The overhead bits additionally provide information regarding connection requests and other information.

    摘要: Device and methods determine timing parameters and associated timing actions from timing messages in communication packets. The timing messages may be encapsulated with a plurality of communication protocols. An example timing message may be an IEEE 1588 timing message encapsulated in an Internet protocol packet encapsulated in an Ethernet protocol packet. The protocols are matched in classifier blocks by comparing portions of the packet to bit values or ranges of values. Operation of other than the first classifier block depends on results of matching in the preceding block by using offset values passed between blocks that indicate starting points for the matching. The final classifier block matches values in timing messages to identify timing parameters and associated timing actions in the message.
