Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within electronic equipment. The apparatus may determine whether a run-length violation will occur or is likely to occur if a first sequence of symbols provided by a mapper of an M-Wire N-Phase encoder is transmitted on a plurality of wires. A second sequence of symbols may be substituted for the first sequence of symbols. The second sequence of symbols may comprise a surplus sequence of symbols that is not used for mapping data in the mapper.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems provide improved throughput on a communication link. An apparatus has a plurality of line drivers, a first wire state encoder configured to receive a first symbol in a sequence of symbols when a 3-wire link is in a first signaling state, and to define a second signaling state for the 3-wire link based on the first symbol and the first signaling state, a second wire state encoder configured to receive a second symbol in the sequence of symbols, and to define a third signaling state for the 3-wire link based on the second symbol and the second signaling state. The first symbol immediately precedes the second symbol in the sequence of symbols. The 3-wire link transitions from the first to the second signaling state, and from the second to the third signaling state in consecutive transmission intervals.

Abstract: An integrated circuit, comprising a transistor-based cell comprising a set of fin field effect transistors (Fin FETs) chained together in a first direction, wherein the set of Fin FETs include fins extending longitudinally along the first direction and equally-spaced apart in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction by a fin pitch, and a set of polysilicon gates extending longitudinally along the second direction and equally-spaced apart in the first direction by a poly pitch, wherein a first dimension of the transistor-based cell along the first direction is substantially a first integer multiplied by the poly pitch, and wherein a second dimension of the transistor-based cell along the second direction is substantially a second integer multiplied by the fin pitch. The integrated circuit may include other non-transistor-based cells (e.g., passive cells), such as thin-film resistor or capacitor cells, which are arranged in a two-dimensional array with the transistor-based cell.

Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within electronic equipment. Transmission lines are selectively terminated in an N-phase polarity encoded transmitter when the transmission lines would otherwise be undriven. Data is mapped to a sequence of symbols to be transmitted on a plurality of wires. The sequence of symbols is encoded in three signals. A first terminal of a plurality of terminals may be driven such that transistors are activated to couple the first terminal to first and second voltage levels. The first terminal may further be driven such that a dedicated transistor is activated to couple the first terminal to an intermediate voltage level. The dedicated transistor is activated based on a voltage level for driving a second terminal of the three terminals and a voltage level for driving a third terminal of the three terminals.

Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. Information is transmitted in N-phase polarity encoded symbols. Data is encoded in multi-bit symbols, and the multi-bit symbols are transmitted on a plurality of connectors. The multi-bit symbols may be transmitted by mapping the symbols to a sequence of states of the plurality of connectors, and driving the connectors in accordance with the sequence of states. The timing of the sequence of states is determinable at a receiver at each transition between sequential states. The state of each connector may be defined by polarity and direction of rotation of a multi-phase signal transmitted on the each connector.

Abstract: A feed-forward bias circuit biases body bias terminals of transistors of another circuit to compensate for PVT variations in the other circuit. In some aspects, the feed-forward bias circuit compensates for transistor process corners in a circuit by enabling the generation of different bias signals under different corner conditions. In some implementations, the feed-forward bias circuit is used to bias a delay circuit so that the delay circuit exhibits relatively constant delay characteristics over different PVT conditions.

Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that model analog behavior in a multi-wire, multi-phase communications link A digital signal representative of a physical connection in a communications link and a virtual signal characterizing a three-phase signal transmitted over the physical connection are generated. The virtual signal may be configured to model one or more analog characteristics of the physical connection. The analog characteristics may include voltage states defining the three-phase signal. The analog characteristics of the physical connection include at least three voltage states corresponding to signaling states of the three-phase signal.

Abstract: System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. Information is transmitted in N-phase polarity encoded symbols. Drivers may be adapted or configured to align state transitions on two or more connectors in order to minimize a transition period between consecutive symbols. The drivers may include circuits that advance or delay certain transitions. The drivers may include pre-emphasis circuits that operate to drive the state of a connector for a portion of the transition period, even when the connector is transitioned to an undriven state.
