    Abstract: A loss-of-signal detector includes digital and analog monitoring of incoming data. The incoming signal is compared digitally to at least one predetermined pattern that may indicate a loss of signal, and also is monitored by an analog detector that detects transitions in the data. If the digital comparison fails to match any of the at least one predetermined pattern, or if transitions are detected by the analog monitoring, even if the digital comparison produces a pattern match, then loss of signal is not indicated.

    Abstract: Equalization of an incoming data signal can be controlled by sampling that signal at times when data values in that signal should be stable (“data samples”) and when that signal should be in transition between successive data values that are different (“transition samples”). A transition sample that has been taken between two successive differently valued data samples is compared to a reference value (which can be one of those two data samples). The result of this comparison can be used as part of a determination as to whether to increase or decrease equalization of the incoming data signal.

    Abstract: High-speed serial data transceiver circuitry on a programmable logic device (“PLD”) includes some channels that are able to operate at data rates up to a first, relatively low maximum data rate, and other channels that are able to operate at data rates up to a second, relatively high maximum data rate. The relatively low-speed channels are served by relatively low-speed phase locked loop (“PLL”) circuitry, and have other circuit components that are typically needed for handling data that is transmitted at relatively low data rates. The relatively high-speed channels are served by relatively high-speed PLLs, and have other circuit components that are typically needed for handling data that is transmitted at relatively high data rates.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting a signal received from a communication path are disclosed. A receiver can receive a signal from a communication path which attenuates at least some frequency components of the signal. The receiver can include an equalization block that adjusts at least some of the frequency content of the received signal, a signal normalization block that provides a normalized signal amplitude and/or a normalized edge slope, and a control block. In one embodiment, the control block controls frequency adjustment in the equalization block for high frequencies but not for low frequencies. For low frequency adjustment, the control block controls the normalized signal amplitude in the signal normalization block. In this manner, controlled adjustment for low frequency content is performed in the signal normalization block.

    Abstract: In high speed receiver circuitry (e.g., on a programmable logic device (PLD) or the like), decision feedback equalization (DFE) circuitry is used to at least partly cancel unwanted offset (e.g., from other elements of the receiver). The data input to the receiver is tristated; and then each DFE tap coefficient is varied in turn to find coefficient values that are associated with transitions between oscillation and non-oscillation of the receiver output signal. The coefficient values found in this way are used to select trial values. If the output signal of the receiver does not oscillate when these trial values are used, the process is repeated starting from these (or subsequent) trial values until a final set of trial values does allow oscillation of the receiver output signal.

    Abstract: An impedance compensation circuit for inputs of a programmable device includes programmable impedance circuits connected with input nodes. The programmable impedance circuits can be configured to apply a compensating voltages to input nodes to reduce or eliminate unwanted offset voltages. An impedance compensation circuit may include resistors in series or current sources in parallel. A set of bypass switches selectively apply each resistor or current source to an input node, thereby changing the offset voltage of the node and compensating for impedance mismatches. Control logic provides signals to control the bypass switches. The control logic may be implemented using programmable device resources, enabling the control logic to be updated and improved after the manufacturing of the device is complete. The control logic can automatically evaluate offset voltages at any time and change compensating impedances accordingly. This reduces manufacturing costs and takes into account temperature and aging effects.
