Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for jitter equalization and phase error detection. In embodiments, a communication circuit may include a data path to pass a data signal and a clock path to pass a clock signal. A jitter equalizer may be coupled with the data path and/or clock path to provide a programmable delay to the data signal and/or clock signal, respectively. The delay may be determined by a training process in which a supply voltage may be modulated by a modulation frequency. The delay may be dependent on a value of the supply voltage, such as a voltage level and/or jitter frequency component of the supply voltage. A phase error detector is also described that may be used with the communication circuit and/or other embodiments.

Abstract: An amplifier, including a voltage-to-current converter (V2I) to control an output current based on an input voltage, resistive degeneration circuitry to reduce baseband gain of the voltage-to-current converter, capacitive degeneration circuitry to increase passband gain of the voltage-to-current converter, and impedance control circuitry to compensate for negative input impedance of the capacitive degeneration circuitry. The V2I may include series-connected complimentary V2Is. The impedance control circuitry may include resistive negative feedback to provide a real part of input impedance, which may increase a frequency range for which the amplifier is linear. Capacitive degeneration and associated phase compensation may increase a frequency range for which the resistive feedback is negative. The amplifier may be configured as a single-input/single-output system and/or as a differential system.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes voltage sensing logic to determine a first source voltage Vfirst source corresponding to a first source, and a controller to receive an indication of Vfirst source from the voltage sensing logic. The controller is to, responsive to Vfirst source>a first output voltage (V1), select a first source first regulator to input Vfirst source and provide V1; responsive to Vfirst source>a second output voltage (V2), select a first source second voltage regulator that inputs Vfirst source, and provide V2; responsive to Vfirst source≤V1, select a second source first voltage regulator that inputs a second source voltage Vsecond source that corresponds to a second source and is substantially constant in time where Vsecond source>V1, and provide V1 independent of the first source first regulator and the first source second voltage regulator. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
