Abstract:
A serial data receiver may include an edge detector and a digital integrator. The edge detector may be configured to provide one or more edge detection signals defining an edge detection indication in response to a comparison between two successive samples of a receiver input signal. The edge detection indication may represent a detected negative edge, a detected positive edge, or no detected edge. The digital integrator may be configured to provide a receiver output signal in response to integration of the one or more edge detection signals.
Abstract:
An I/O driver and related method are provided herein. The I/O driver includes circuitry for expediting the configuring of the corresponding output FET to operate in the linear region to reduce delay between the transition of the input signal and the corresponding transition of the output signal. Additionally, the I/O driver includes circuitry for controlling the slew rate at which the output signal transitions from a low logic state to a high logic state, or vice-versa. Further, the I.O driver includes circuitry for turning off the turned-on output FET before turning on the other output FET. This prevents “shoot-thru” current from flowing through the output FETs to reduce power consumption associated with the I/O driver.

Abstract:
Control circuits for generating output enable signals are disclosed. In one aspect, a control circuit is provided that employs combinatorial logic to generate an output enable signal that meets timing constraints using a standard clock signal, a feedback clock signal based on the standard clock signal, and a single data rate (SDR) data output stream. The control circuit includes a double data rate (DDR) conversion circuit configured to generate a DDR output stream based on a received SDR output stream. The control circuit includes an output enable circuit configured to receive the standard clock signal, feedback clock signal, and DDR output stream, and to generate the output enable signal that is asserted and de-asserted according to the defined timing constraints. The control circuit is configured to generate an accurately timed output enable signal without the need for a fast clock signal in addition to the standard clock signal.
