    摘要: A method and apparatus for automated calibration of I/O over a multi-variable eye window is provided. A transmitter may conduct data transmissions to a receiver of an integrated circuit (IC) over a plurality of signal lines. The data transmissions may be conducted according to a certain parameters or sets of parameters. Parameters may include voltage levels at which signals are transmitted or timing delays. The receiver may determine whether the correct data value was received over each signal line. The results may be recorded in a storage mechanism in the same IC as the receiver. The storage mechanism may, for each signal line, store a pass/fail result corresponding to the particular parameters for the data transmission. The system may select the parameters which subsequent transmissions are to be conducted over each of the plurality of signal lines from the storage mechanism.

    摘要: A remote voltage regulator module (VRM) for high-current, low voltage applications. In one embodiment, an electronic system includes a VRM configured to provide a DC output voltage. The VRM is coupled to a load board via a first bus bar and a second bus bar. The VRM includes a first capacitance of a first amount, while the load board includes a second capacitance of a second amount. A loop between the VRM and the load board is formed by the first and second bus bars and first and second capacitances. The loop is characterized by a transfer function that is second order or less.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for detecting a valid clock signal at a clock receiver. The system operates by receiving a clock signal at the clock receiver, and directing the clock signal into a control input of a voltage-controlled variable resistor. Next, the system uses the voltage-controlled variable resistor to control a first current. A current mirror is then employed to create a second current from the first current. This second current passes through a resistor to produce a control voltage, which is amplified to produce a validity signal indicating whether or not the clock signal is valid. In one embodiment of the present invention, the system additionally uses at least one capacitor to filter out periodic fluctuations in the validity signal.
