    摘要: Methods and apparatus for determining at least part of the width of the eye of a high-speed serial data signal use clock and data recovery circuitry operating on that signal to produce a first clock signal having a first phase relationship to the data signal. The first clock signal is used to produce a second clock signal whose phase can be controllably shifted relative to the first phase. The second clock signal is used to sample the data signal with different amounts of phase shift, e.g., until error checking circuitry detects that data errors in the resulting sample exceed an acceptable threshold for such errors. The amount(s) of phase shift that caused exceeding the threshold can be used as a basis for a measurement of eye width.

Each oscillator circuit may be coupled to a respective input transistor pair in the buffer circuit through associated coupling capacitors. A selected one of the oscillator circuits may be turned on during normal operation by supplying a high voltage to the selected one of the oscillator circuit and by supply a ground voltage to the remaining oscillator circuits.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Techniques and circuitry are provided for programmably controlling signal offsets in integrated circuitry. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a signal offset cancellation circuit that is programmably selected to control the offset of signals on either one input/output or another input/output of an amplifier circuit. In one embodiment, a logic circuit is used to selectively couple a bank of current sources to one input/output or another input/output of a differential amplifier through a switching circuit. The bank of current sources may employed to control the signal offset on either input/output, or may be decoupled from all of the inputs/outputs when signal offset cancellation is not required.

    摘要: Methods and circuits are presented for providing equalization, including decision feedback equalization (DFE), to high data-rate signals. Half-rate delay-chain circuitry produces delayed samples of an input signal using two or more delay-chain circuits operating at a fraction of the input signal data-rate. Two delay-chain circuits operating at one-half the input signal data-rate may be used. More generally, n delay-chain circuits operating at 1/n the input signal data-rate may be used. Multiplexer circuitry combines the outputs of the delay-chain circuits to produce an output signal including samples of the input signal at the input signal data-rate. Duplicate path DFE circuitry includes two paths used to provide DFE equalization while reducing the load of the DFE circuitry on the circuitry that precedes it. A first path produces delayed samples of a DFE signal, while a second path produces the DFE output signal from the delayed samples.

    摘要: Serial data signal receiver circuitry for inclusion on a PLD includes a plurality of equalizer circuits that are connected in series and that are individually controllable so that collectively they can compensate for a wide range of possible input signal attenuation characteristics. Other circuit features may be connected in relation to the equalizer circuits to give the receiver circuitry other capabilities. For example, these other features may include various types of loop-back test circuits, controllable termination resistance, controllable common mode voltage, and a controllable threshold for detection of an input signal. Various aspects of control of the receiver circuitry may be programmable.

    摘要: 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.
