    摘要: In accordance with this invention, a data capture circuit of a data receiver captures data from a data stream of a data transmitter operating at a different phase or frequency from the system clock of the data receiver. In one embodiment, the data receiver determines the number of clock periods of a clock signal in a data period of the data stream. Specifically, a signal detection circuit receives a signal having a periodic and distinctive feature. The period of the periodic and distinctive feature is related to the data period by a fixed scaling factor. A counter counts the number of clock periods of the clock signal between a first occurrence of the periodic and distinctive feature and a second occurrence of the periodic and distinctive feature. A multiplier/divider circuit divides or multiples the content of the first counter by the scaling factor to determine the integer clock period count. The results of the multiply or divide is stored in a count register. In some embodiments of the data receiver an integer error compensation circuit compensates for the difference between the actual number of clock periods in a data period and the integer clock period count. A divider divides the integer clock period count to calculate an integer N and causes a data register to capture a data word on the N-th occurrence of an active edge of the clock signal after the beginning of the data word.

    摘要: Various circuits, including DC/DC converters can include an integrated soft-start circuit. The integrated soft-start circuit includes a PMOS transistor configured to receive a reference signal and control the current to a bipolar junction transistor when the reference signal is in a first state. First and second NMOS transistors are included in the soft-start circuit, and receive the reference signal to turn off (to release from reset) when the reference signal is in the first state. A capacitor coupled in parallel with one of the NMOS transistors controls the soft-start signal. Various different transistors types can be used depending on the desired implementation.

    摘要: In accordance with this invention, an arbitration unit controls access to a shared device between a plurality devices. The arbitration unit grants access to the shared device so that both the maximum latency requirement and the minimum access requirement of the devices are satisfied. In one embodiment, a first device with high access requirements uses the precedence of a second device when the second device has a higher precedence than the first device and the second device does not request access to the shared device. Thus the first device can receive access to the shared device based on the precedence of the second device or the precedence of the first device. In another embodiment, the devices are circularly ordered to determine the precedence of each device. In accordance with circular arbitration, after the first device receives access to the shared device based on the precedence of the second device, the second device is assigned the lowest precedence. Furthermore, some embodiments arrange the devices in a hierarchy of different groups. A first group within a second group is treated as a single device of the second group. One implementation of the arbitration unit includes a group pointer for each group and a precedence decoder.
