    Abstract: A receiver with clock phase calibration. A first sampling circuit generates first digital data based on an input signal, a sampling phase of the first sampling circuit controlled by a first clock signal. A second sampling circuit generates second digital data based on the input signal, a sampling phase of the second sampling circuit controlled by a second clock signal. Circuitry within the receiver calibrates the clocks in different stages. During a first calibration stage, a phase of the second clock signal is adjusted while the first digital data is selected for generating the output data. During a second calibration stage, a phase of the first clock signal is adjusted while the first digital data is selected for the output data path.

    Abstract: A receiver includes a decision circuit, a circuit to adjust an input signal of the decision circuit, a correction circuit and a control circuit. The decision circuit makes a data decision based on an input signal of the decision circuit. The circuit to adjust the input signal of the decision circuit adjusts the input signal of the decision circuit based on an input correction signal. The correction circuit combines a plurality of signals corresponding to different input correction parameters into a preliminary input correction signal. An input of the correction circuit is coupled to an output of the decision circuit. The control circuit maps the preliminary input correction signal into the input correction signal using a nonlinear code mapping.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses featuring an injection-locked oscillator (ILO) are described. In some embodiments, an ILO can have multiple injection points and a free-running frequency that is capable of being adjusted based on a control signal. In some embodiments, each injection point of an ILO can correspond to a phase tuning range. In some embodiments, a circuit can include circuitry to detect a phase boundary between two adjacent phase tuning ranges. In some embodiments, a circuit can use the detected phase boundary to switch between the two adjacent phase tuning ranges.

    Abstract: In an integrated-circuit image sensor, binary sample values are read out from an array of pixels after successive sampling intervals that collectively span an image exposure interval and include at least two sampling intervals of unequal duration. Each pixel of the array is conditionally reset after each of the successive sampling intervals according to whether the pixel yields a binary sample in a first state or a second state.
