    摘要: A simultaneous bidirectional port coupled to a bus combines a synchronization circuit and a clock circuit. The synchronization and clock circuit synchronizes the port with another simultaneous data port coupled to the same bus. A clock driver circuit is provided that is capable of being turned on and off. Prior to synchronization, the clock driver is off, and after synchronization, the clock driver is on. A clock receiver circuit includes a clock detection circuit to detect the presence of an input clock signal. When an integrated circuit is ready to communicate, the output clock driver is turned on and the clock detection circuit is monitored to determine when an input clock signal is received. When both the output clock driver is turned on, and an input clock signal is being received, the simultaneous bidirectional port is synchronized, and communication between integrated circuits can take place.

    摘要: A simultaneous bi-directional I/O circuit includes a first MUX in the reference select circuitry and a second, matching MUX in the pre-driver stage of the output buffer. In normal mode, the first MUX passes the driven data output signal, which controls the threshold of the differential receiver circuit between two different non-zero voltage levels, so that the receiver circuit can properly decode an incoming signal at the I/O node or pin. In an AC switching state or loopback test mode, the first MUX de-selects the driven data output signal from controlling the receiver circuit. This allows the receiver circuit to decode outgoing data that is being looped back as incoming data. The second MUX enables the reference select circuitry to switch at a rate that matches the output slew rate in order to provide high-speed operation. Also described are an electronic system, a data processing system, and various methods of testing simultaneous bi-directional I/O circuits.

    摘要: A simultaneous bidirectional port coupled to a bus combines a synchronization circuit and a data transceiver circuit. The combination data and synchronization transceiver circuit synchronizes the port with another simultaneous bidirectional port coupled to the same bus. The combination data and synchronization transceiver circuit includes a driver with a variable output current and a variable output resistance. Prior to synchronization, the driver has a low output current and low output resistance. When the simultaneous bidirectional port is ready to communicate, the variable output resistance is increased. When both simultaneous bidirectional ports are ready, the variable output resistance is set to properly terminate the line, and the variable output current is set to provide a desired voltage swing.
