    Abstract: Low power high-speed output driver. An array of switches (some of which are inverting switches whose connectivity is governed oppositely as the control signal provided to it) is implemented such that an input signal governs the connectivity of those switches. A resistor is coupled between the nodes interposed between the switches of the array, and an output signal is taken from the nodes at ends of the resistor. The high voltage level of such an output driver is truly the level of the power supply energizing the circuit (e.g., VDD) while still consuming relatively low power.

    Abstract: Embodiments include a system for performing dispersion compensation on an electromagnetic signal received over a communication channel, the electromagnetic signal bearing information at a symbol rate. An interleaved analog to digital converter (“ADC”) block may be used, wherein the interleaved ADC block may be configured to generate a plurality of digitally sampled signals from the electromagnetic signal. An interleaved equalizer block may be configured to digitally process each of the digitally sampled signals generated by the ADC block to generate a plurality of digitally equalized signals. A multiplexer may be configured to aggregate the digitally equalized signals into a composite output signal.

    Abstract: Multiple channel synchronized clock generation scheme. A novel approach is presented herein in which synchronized clock signals are generated that can be used in parallel processing of deserialized signals. When a serial input signal is received, it can be deserialized into a plurality of parallel signals, and each of these parallel signals can be processed at a frequency that is lower than the frequency of the serial signal. Overall, the frequency at which all of the parallel signals are processed can be the same or substantially close to the frequency of the serial signal, so that throughput within a communication system is not compromised or undesirably reduced. This novel approach is operable to perform independent adjustment of the operational parameters within an apparatus that is operable to perform multiple channel synchronized clock generation (e.g., phase rotation and/or division of signals within each of the individual channels can be adjusted independently).

    Abstract: A closed-loop circuitry includes, in part, a loop filter and a current source/sink coupled to the loop filter to adjust the phase/frequency of the signal generated by the closed-loop circuitry. Because the voltage generated by the loop filter has a relatively low frequency, the current source/sink is operable at a relatively low frequency. Each current source and current sink may be a current digital-to-analog (DAC). The amount of current sourced into or sunk out of the loop filter by the current DAC is varied by setting the associated bits of a multi-bit signal. If the closed-loop circuitry is differential, a current source is coupled to the loop filter adapted to receive the differentially high signal, and a current source is coupled to the loop filter adapted to receive the differentially low signal.

    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for communicating data, a decision feedback equalizer equalizes received data to reduce channel related distortion in the received data. An extracted clock signal is generated from the equalized data. The phase of the extracted clock signal may be adjusted to compensate for processing delay during equalization of the received data. The extracted clock signal may be used to clock a retimer of the decision feedback equalizer to generate recovered data.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for an automatic gain control (AGC) loop that utilizes freezing and unfreezing states. A freezing process moves the AGC into a TRANSITION state from a NORMAL state, based on net change of VGA gain control codes over a monitoring time window. The freezing process then moves the AGC into a FROZEN state from the TRANSITION state, based on net change of VGA gain control codes over the monitoring time window. An unfreezing process moves the AGC into the NORMAL state from the FROZEN state, based on signal amplitude changes at the output of the VGA.

    Abstract: Phase locked loops that can adjust the frequency of a clock signal are provided. A transmitter adjusts its data transmission rate in response to the clock signal to accommodate different data transmission protocols. A phase locked loop can add or drop cycles from an input clock signal in response to one or more signals from a receiver. The signals from the receiver indicate the transmission rate of the incoming data signal. The phase locked loop can drop cycles from the clock signal to decrease the frequency of the clock signal. The transmitter then decreases its data transmission rate in response to the reduced frequency of the clock signal. The phase locked loop can also add cycles to the clock signal to increase the frequency of the clock signal. The transmitter increases its data transmission rate in response to the increased frequency of the clock signal.

    Abstract: A compensation apparatus maintains an effective resistance of one or more resistors in a circuit by associating an adjustable resistor circuit to each resistor. The compensation apparatus compares the resistance of a resistor in the circuit with the resistance of a reference resistor. When the resistance of the resistor in the circuit falls outside of a desired range, the compensation apparatus adjusts the resistance of the adjustable resistor to adjust the effective resistance of the resistor and adjustable resistor combination.
