    摘要: A clock data recovery apparatus includes a phase looked loop unit, a voltage control delay line, a phase detection unit, a charge pump unit, and a loop filter unit. The phase looked loop unit outputs a plurality of clock signals which are different from each other in phase and of which frequency is lower than that of data. The voltage control delay line outputs recovered clock signals by delaying the clock signals according to input voltage levels. The phase detection unit outputs recovered data in synchronization with the clock signals, respectively and outputs increment and decrement signals which have wider pulse width than the data by comparing the recovered clock signals with the data. The charge pump unit outputs a corresponding current in response to the increment and decrement signals. The loop filter unit determines an amount of delay in the voltage control delay line by outputting the voltage.

    摘要: A memory system having a stub-bus configuration transmits a free-running clock through the same path as data signals. A single clock domain is employed for both read and write operations. For both operations, the read or write clock signal is routed through the same transmission path as the data, thereby increasing system transfer rates by maximizing the window of data validity. In this manner, data bus utilization is increased due to the elimination of a need for a preamble interval for the strobe signal, and pin count on the memory module connectors is therefore reduced.

    摘要: A clocking system and method in a point-to-point bus configuration overcomes the limitations of conventional approaches. In one embodiment, the present invention ensures the same phase relationship for the write clock in the write direction for all data transfers between modules, and similarly the same phase relationship for the read clock in the read direction for all data transfers between modules, regardless of module location. In another embodiment, on a given module, all transfers of data between a data buffer and a memory device in both read and write directions are clocked by a read clock signal and a write clock signal that have the same phase relationship and have the same propagation delay as the data bus between the buffer and the memory device.

    摘要: An input buffer circuit for transforming pseudo differential input signals into full differential output signals wherein, the input buffer circuit includes a pull-up current source, two pull-down current sources, a differential input portion, and a positive feedback portion. The pull-up current source is formed of two PMOS transistors which are always in an “on” state, and provides an electric current. The two pull-down current sources are each formed of an NMOS transistor, which are always in an on state, and sink a pull-up electric current. The differential input portion is formed of two NMOS transistors, and receives an input signal and a reference signal, respectively. The positive feedback portion is formed of two NMOS transistors, and enlarges a voltage difference between two output terminals of the input circuit using positive feedback.
