    摘要: Aspects for increased noise immunity for clocking signals in high speed digital systems are described. The aspects include buffering a differential clock signal with a single buffer circuit for a plurality of load circuits and configuring the single buffer circuit to adjust to alterations in the number of load circuits receiving the differential clock signal. The configuring achieves a constant bandwidth and voltage level for the clock signal output while adjusting to alterations in the number of load circuits.

    摘要: A system and circuit for determining data signal jitter via asynchronous sampling provides a low cost and production-integrable mechanism for measuring data signal jitter. The data signal is edge-detected and sampled by a sampling clock of unrelated frequency the sampled values are collected in a histogram according to a folding of the samples around a timebase. The timebase is determined by sweeping to detect a minimum jitter for the folded data. The histogram for the correct estimated timebase period is representative of the probability density function of the location of data signal edges and the jitter characteristics are determined by the width and shape of the density function peaks. Frequency drift can be corrected by adjusting the timebase used to fold the data across the sample set.

    摘要: A method a low cost and production-integrable technique for providing a signal diagram. The data signal is edge-detected and asynchronously sampled (or alternatively a clock signal is latched). The data signal or a second signal is compared to a settable threshold voltage and sampled. The edge and comparison data are folded according to a swept timebase to find a minimum jitter period. The crossing of the signal diagram edges is determined from a peak of a histogram of the folded edge data. A histogram of ratios of the sample values versus displacement from the position of the crossing location is generated for each threshold voltage. The technique is repeated over a range of settable threshold voltages. Then, the ratio counts are differentiated across the histograms with respect to threshold voltage, from which a signal diagram is populated.
