    摘要: A low power analog equalizer is disclosed that provides up to twenty decibels (20 dB) of alternating current gain in a single stage of analog signal equalization. The analog equalizer comprises an operational amplifier coupled to two half circuits. Each half circuit comprises an impedance network capable of receiving an analog input voltage and generating a current signal that is inversely proportional to frequency, a current steering digital to analog converter capable of adjusting the gain of the operational amplifier, and a transistor and an amplifier coupled in a cascode configuration to create a low impedance node at the output of the impedance network. The analog equalizer is fabricated with 0.18 micron CMOS technology and operates at 1.8 volts.

    摘要: An analog to digital converter stage that has a very short sampling phase settling time requirement is used in a multistage pipelined analog to digital converter with a novel clocking design. Each clock period has a sampling phase and a hold phase. According to a first aspect, the sampling phase of each clock cycle is much shorter than the hold phase. This takes advantage of the reduced sampling phase settling time requirement of the analog to digital converter stage according to the present invention, and also allows a relatively longer hold phase during each clock cycle. The analog to digital converter stage according to the present invention is implemented with an operational amplifier such that during the sampling phase, the operational amplifier does not have to settle in order for correct sampling to occur, whereas operational amplifier settling is required during the hold phase. According to a second aspect, several clocks are cyclicly recirculated among the stages of a pipelined analog to digital converter.

    摘要: A system and a method are disclosed for providing a parameterized analog feedback loop for continuous time adaptive equalization that incorporates low frequency attenuation gain compensation. N adaptive equalizer stages are coupled in series and a slicer circuit is coupled to the last (Nth) adaptive equalizer stage. A single equalizer adaptation control loop controls the frequency response of the adaptive equalizer stages to compensate for the attenuation of a lossy channel. The single equalizer adaptation control loop also compensates for the direct current (DC) loss in the lossy channel by modulating a bias current in the slicer circuit to scale the low frequency feedback with adaptation coefficients that correlate with channel length.

    摘要: A system and method is disclosed for providing a clock and data recovery circuit that comprises a low jitter data receiver. The low jitter data receiver comprises a phase interpolator, an amplifier unit and a data sampling comparator. The phase interpolator and the amplifier unit provide the data sampling comparator with a single ended clock signal that is relatively immune to power supply noise. The data sampling comparator samples an input data stream with minimal jitter due to power supply noise. The data sampling comparator consumes less static power than a current mode logic D flip flop and also has output levels that are compatible with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic.

    摘要: A comparator produces a digital output based upon a differential input signal and hysteresis. To inject positive feedback, a second differential pair is added. This feedback pair is nominally identical to the input pair. If the comparator has recently sensed a positive input of sufficient magnitude to drive the comparator output high, switches are turned on coupling a positive hysteresis voltage to the inputs of the feedback differential pair. By coupling a fixed current differential from the second differential pair to the input differential pair, the effective switching threshold of the comparator is changed. A non-overlapping clock generator is formed so that the switches will not turn on simultaneously so as to short the hysteresis reference voltage source. The hysteresis voltage source can be centered at any voltage that does not exceed the common mode range of the input pair. In a first alternative embodiment, the ratio of feedback is not unity, such that the hysteresis voltage is linearly related to the noise margin. In a second alternative embodiment, a more complicated switch matrix can be used to provide a variety of different hysteresis voltage levels. By including a more complicated switch matrix having several taps, the level of hysteresis can be made programmable. In a third alternative embodiment, the comparator structure according to the present invention is translated so that the differential pairs are formed with p-channel transistors. In a fourth alternative embodiment, the programmable hysteresis is applied to a sense amplifier.
