    摘要: Data signals transmitted over transmission media suffer from attenuation caused by the transmission media. Equalization circuitry may be provided to compensate for attenuation caused by the transmission media. Equalization circuitry may include multiple stages arranged in series to allow the frequency responses of the stages to aggregate together. Each stage may be programmable to insert a zero, which causes the frequency response of the stage to increase in magnitude by 20 dB/decade. The frequency location of the zero may also be programmable to allow each stage to contribute a certain amount of gain for a specific frequency. Each stage may also be programmable to determine the location of poles for reduction of high frequency noise and cross-talk cancellation.

    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: High-speed serial interface (“HSSI”) transceiver circuitry (e.g., on a programmable logic device (“PLD”) integrated circuit) includes input buffer circuitry with adaptive equalization capability. The transceiver circuitry also includes an output driver, which may include pre-emphasis capability (preferably controllably settable). Selectively usable loop-back circuitry is provided for allowing the output signal of the input buffer to be applied substantially directly to the output driver. The loop-back circuitry may include a loop-back driver, which may be turned on substantially only when needed for loop-back operations.

    摘要: Systems and methods for adjusting a signal received from a communication path are disclosed. A receiver can receive a signal from a communication path which attenuates at least some frequency components of the signal. The receiver can include an equalization block that adjusts at least some of the frequency content of the received signal, a signal normalization block that provides a normalized signal amplitude and/or a normalized edge slope, and a control block. In one embodiment, the control block controls frequency adjustment in the equalization block for high frequencies. For low frequency adjustment, user-programmable parameters control the normalized signal amplitude in the signal normalization block and the low frequency adjustment in the equalization block.

    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: In high speed receiver circuitry (e.g., on a programmable logic device (PLD) or the like), decision feedback equalization (DFE) circuitry is used to at least partly cancel unwanted offset (e.g., from other elements of the receiver). The data input to the receiver is tristated; and then each DFE tap coefficient is varied in turn to find coefficient values that are associated with transitions between oscillation and non-oscillation of the receiver output signal. The coefficient values found in this way are used to select trial values. If the output signal of the receiver does not oscillate when these trial values are used, the process is repeated starting from these (or subsequent) trial values until a final set of trial values does allow oscillation of the receiver output signal.

    摘要: Equalization circuitry may be used to compensate for the attenuation of a data signal caused by a transmission medium. The control circuitry for the equalization circuitry may generate control inputs for equalization stages that control the amount of gain provided to the data signal. A comparator may determine whether the gain from the equalization circuitry is less than or more than the desired amount of gain. A programmable up/down counter may adjust the counter value based on the output of the comparator. The counter value may be converted into one or more analog voltages using one or more digital-to-analog converters. These analog voltages may be provided to the equalization stages as control inputs. The control circuitry may also include hysteresis circuitry that prevents the counter value from being adjusted when the gain produced by the equalization stages is close to the desired amount of gain.

Each of the differential variable delay circuits has first and second inputs and first, second, third, and fourth transistors. A constant supply voltage is provided to sources of the first and the second transistors in each of the differential variable delay circuits. A variable supply voltage is provided to sources of the third and the fourth transistors in each of the differential variable delay circuits. Gates of the first and the third transistors are coupled to the first input. Gates of the second and the fourth transistors are coupled to the second input. The oscillator circuit generates a periodic output signal having a frequency that varies based on changes in the variable supply voltage.
