摘要:
A serial communications architecture for communicating between hosts and data store devices. The Storage Link architecture is specially adapted to support communications between multiple hosts and storage devices via a switching network, such as a storage area network. The Storage Link architecture specifies various communications techniques that can be combined to reduce the overall cost and increase the overall performance of communications. The Storage Link architecture may provide packet ordering based on packet type, dynamic segmentation of packets, asymmetric packet ordering, packet nesting, variable-sized packet headers, and use of out-of-band symbols to transmit control information as described below in more detail. The Storage Link architecture may also specify encoding techniques to optimize transitions and to ensure DC-balance.

摘要:
Multiple controllable delays reduce EMI radiated during the transmission of multiple synchronized signals. Each controllable delay introduces a controlled delay into a corresponding signal being transmitted. The controlled delay is such that the combined strength of the multiple signals at peak frequencies is substantially reduced. This results in reduced EMI radiation at those peak frequencies.

A method of modulating and demodulating a signal includes modulating data information included in an input data signal provided from an external source and clock information included in an input clock signal provided from the external source into a transmission signal, using (n+1) delay clock signals generated based on the input clock signal, where n is a natural number. The transmission signal is demodulated into an output clock signal including restored clock information and an output data signal including restored data information, using (m+1) delay clock signals generated based on the clock information, where m is a natural number less than n.

A coarse lock detector is disclosed. The course lock detector uses an initial lock range to determine course lock, and once course lock is achieved, uses a modified lock range to determine course lock.

A range-matching cell (RMC) includes bit lines (BL); a word line (WL); a match line (ML); search lines (SL); a memory cell (100); a first comparator (110) connected to the memory cell; a second comparator (120) connected to the first comparator, a ground voltage and a predetermined voltage. The comparators conduct a comparing operation in responsive to operator data. Instead of the conventional TCAMs employing 0, 1, and X (don't care) bit, a CAM utilizing the RMC can conduct a comparing operation with less memory by storing the operator data 0 and 1 in advance. Accordingly, memory-use efficiency can be increased.
摘要:
A dual current path voltage controlled oscillator exhibits both the seamless frequency acquisition and uniform VCO gain reduction while preserving an original operating range and phase locked loop characteristics. The present invention provides a quad-channel transceiver comprising a phase locked loop circuit including a voltage controlled oscillator used to generate a clock signal, a FIFO buffer used to store data to be transmitted, a frequency comparator for comparing a reference clock to the generated clock signal from the phase locked loop circuit; and a folded starved inverter circuit contained within the voltage controlled oscillator wherein the folded starved inverter provides two current paths. The dual current paths allow for simultaneous coarse and fine phase tracking. With this low jitter performance and wide operating range, the quad transceiver may be implemented in 0.18-μm CMOS technology, and shows 10−12 bit error rate up to speeds of 3 Gbps.
