Abstract: The present invention is directed to data communication. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide an offset correction technique for a SERDES system. A CTLE module for receiving input data signal is set to an isolation mode, and one or more sense amplifiers perform data sampling asynchronously during the isolation mode. During the isolation mode, CLTE(s) that are not directly connected to the sense amplifiers are shut. Data sampled during the isolation mode are used to determine an offset value that is later used in normal operation of the SERDES system. There are other embodiments as well.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to data communication. According to a specific embodiment, the present invention provides technique for loss of signal detection. A loss-of-signal detection (LOSD) device determines an analog signal indicating signal strength by subtracting a threshold offset voltage from an incoming signal. The analog signal is then processed by a switch network of an output stage circuit, which provides a digital output of loss of signal indication at a low frequency (relative to the incoming signal frequency). There are other embodiments as well.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to data communication. More specifically, an embodiment of the present invention provides a technique for detecting loss of signal. An incoming data stream is sampled and a recovered clock signal is generated accordingly. An output clock signal of a higher frequency than the recovered clock signal is generated by a transmission PLL. The frequency of the recovered clock signal is compared to a divided frequency of the output clock signal. If a difference between the recovered clock signal and the output clock signal is greater than a threshold, a loss of signal indication is provided. There are other embodiments as well.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to data communication. More specifically, the present invention provides a mechanism for determining an adjustment delay that minimizes skew error due to poor alignment between edge samples and data samples. The adjustment delay is determined by sampling edge samples and data samples using different test delays at a calibration frequency that is different from the sampling frequency. The test delay associated with the least average position between the data samples and edge samples is selected as the adjustment delay. The adjustment delay is used as a parameter when sampling data at the sampling frequency. There are other embodiments as well.
