    摘要: A programmable logic device integrated circuit (“PLD”) includes high-speed serial interface (“HSSI”) circuitry in addition to programmable logic circuitry. The HSSI circuitry includes multiple channels of nominal data-handling circuitry (typically including clock and data recovery (“CDR”) circuitry), and at least one channel of nominal clock management unit (“CMU”) circuitry (typically including phase-locked loop (“PLL”) circuitry or the like). To increase the flexibility with which the channels can be used, the nominal data-handling channels are equipped to alternatively perform CMU-type functions, and the nominal CMU channel is equipped to alternatively perform data-handling functions.

    摘要: In a programmable logic device with a number of different types of serial interfaces, different power supply filtering schemes are applied to different interfaces. For interfaces operating at the lowest data rates—e.g., 1 Gbps—circuit-board level filtering including one or more decoupling capacitors may be provided. For interfaces operating at somewhat higher data rates—e.g., 3 Gbps—modest on-package filtering also may be provided, which may include power-island decoupling. For interfaces operating at still higher data rates—e.g., 6 Gbps—more substantial on-package filtering, including one or more on-package decoupling capacitors, also may be provided. For interfaces operating at the highest data rates—e.g., 10 Gbps—on-die filtering, which may include one or more on-die filtering or regulating networks, may be provided. The on-die regulators may be programmably bypassable allowing a user to trade off performance for power savings.

    摘要: Precision amplitude detection circuitry without pattern dependencies is provided that includes rectifier circuitry to output a rectified voltage signal and delay circuitry to send one or more delayed or phase-shifted versions of a differential signal input to the rectifier circuitry. The delayed versions of the differential signal input may be delayed in order to reduce or eliminate the dips in the input seen by the rectifier. This may help correct for low rectified voltage levels. The signal amplitude detection circuitry of the present invention may be incorporated on the input pin of any programmable logic resource and may be included in communication circuitry of a PLD. The precision amplitude detection circuitry may operate in the Gbps (gigabit per second) range.

    摘要: Equalization of an incoming data signal can be controlled by sampling that signal at times when data values in that signal should be stable (“data samples”) and when that signal should be in transition between successive data values that are different (“transition samples”). A transition sample that has been taken between two successive differently valued data samples is compared to a reference value (which can be one of those two data samples). The result of this comparison can be used as part of a determination as to whether to increase or decrease equalization of the incoming data signal.

    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.
