A variable offset amplifier circuit includes two differential transistor pairs and a variable current generator coupled to each differential pair to control tail current. Each differential transistor pair has a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistors are matched in size, as are the second transistors. The bias terminals of the first and second transistors serve as inputs to the amplifier circuit. The output of the amplifier circuit is associated with the differential pair output nodes of only similarly sized transistors, such that loads at the output of the amplifier circuit are sourced with current only from similarly sized transistors of the transistor pairs. The variable current generators may be adjusted to create offset in the output of amplifier circuit. The amplifier circuit has applications in a comparator circuit that also has a regenerative latch circuit, and as a sense amplifier in a receiver of a communications system.

Systems and methods of interconnecting devices may include an input/output (IO) connector assembly having a voltage regulator, one or more signaling circuits, a first set of contacts, a second set of contacts connected to the one or more signaling circuits, and logic to receive a configuration command. The logic may also connect the first set of contacts to the voltage regulator if the configuration command corresponds to a first protocol. If the configuration command corresponds to a second protocol, on the other hand, the logic can connect the first set of contacts to the one or more signaling circuits.

Systems and methods of interconnecting devices may include an input/output (IO) connector having a buffer with an integrated voltage regulator. The integrated voltage regulator may include a first supply output and a second supply output, wherein the IO connector includes an IO power contact coupled to the first supply output. The IO connector may also include a logic power contact coupled to the second supply output. In one example, a host device may issue power management commands to the buffer in order to scale the second supply output independently of the first supply output.

A system and method for encoding and receiving data is provided. The data is encoded as a pulse amplitude modulated signal such that the amplitude signals do not transition from the highest signal level to the lowest signal level and do not transition from the lowest signal level to the highest signal level. The encoding and decoding is performed in some embodiments via a lookup table, and in further embodiments is designed to minimize the step between sequential pulse amplitude modulated symbols.
摘要:
A clock signal is deskewed relative to a data signal by sweeping a sampling point in time and sweeping an amplitude offset. Bit error measurements are made at each sampling point in time and compared. Bit error measurements may be made by comparing received data to predetermined data values. The predetermined data values may be sourced from a linear feedback shift register.
