    摘要: A dual inline memory module (DIMM) includes a card having a length of about 151.2 to about 151.5 millimeters, a plurality of individual local memory devices attached to the card, and a buffer device attached to the card, the buffer device configured for converting a packetized memory interface. The card includes at least 276 pins configured thereon including a plurality of high-speed bus interface pills arranged on said card for communicating with a plurality of high-speed busses. The high-speed bus interface pins associated with a single high-speed bus are located on one side of the card with respect to a midpoint of the length of the card, thus the pin assignments are defined such that the performance of the DIMM in a system is optimized for high frequency operation.

    摘要: Pseudo-differential drivers and receivers are used to communicate data signals between two or more IC chips. The data paths are aligned using programmable delay circuitry to de-skew each data path. A programmable reference generator is used to generate a reference voltage used by one or a group of receivers to detect the data signals. The reference voltage is adjustable using coarse as well as fine digitally controlled voltage increments. Test signals are sent from the driver to the receiver and the reference voltage is varied over its adjustable range using the coarse and fine adjustment controls while circuitry determines a measure of the detection timing jitter on successive transitions of the test signal. The operational value of the reference voltage is set to the value where the detection timing jitter is determined to be a minimum.

    摘要: An embodiment of the invention comprises a digital phase detector with substantially zero phase offset. The digital phase detector receives a clock signal and a reference clock signal and provides a phase indicator signal to identify whether the clock signal leads or lags the reference clock signal. An embodiment of the invention comprises a method that adds substantially zero phase offset in processing an input clock signal and a delayed clock signal to generate a control signal. The control signal is processed in a variable delay line to generate the delayed clock signal. In an embodiment, a first processor comprises a delay locked loop having a digital phase detector, the digital phase detector comprising a first differential sense amplifier cross-coupled to a second differential sense amplifier, the digital phase detector receiving a clock signal and generating one or more delayed clock signals, a control signal, and a gated data signal.

    摘要: A voltage reference driver includes a voltage divider circuit with a voltage reference output node to output a voltage between a first voltage and a second voltage. The voltage reference driver also includes a first selectable impedance circuit coupled to a node at the first voltage and further coupled to the voltage reference output node, and a second selectable impedance circuit coupled to a node at the second voltage and further coupled to the voltage reference output node. Combinations of the first selectable impedance circuit and the second selectable impedance circuit are selectable such that a constant impedance is maintained at the voltage reference output node within a threshold value.
