    摘要: A parallel data link includes a redundant line. A bank of switches permits any arbitrary line of the link to be enabled or disabled for carrying functional data, each line being dynamically calibrated in turn by disabling the line and allowing other lines to carry the functional data. The switches are located downstream of alignment mechanisms so that data input to the switches is compensated for data skew. Preferably, receiver synchronization circuitry in each line operates in a respective independent clock domain, while the switches and calibration mechanism operate in a common clock domain. Preferably, the receiver synchronization circuits provide an adjustable delay corresponding to a variable number of clock cycles to align the outputs of the receiver synchronization circuits with respect to one another, which can accommodate high data skew.

    摘要: A parallel data link includes a redundant line. The redundant line permits one line to be calibrated while the others carry functional data, a switching mechanism enabling each line to be selected in turn for calibration. Control information for controlling the link, which is preferably for coordinating calibration activity, is communicated on the line selected for calibration. Preferably, the link is bi-directional, having a separate redundant line in each direction, enabling a bi-directional handshaking protocol to be used for communicating control information. Preferably, the lines selected for calibration are time-multiplexed to carry calibration patterns and control information at different time intervals.

    摘要: An interface alignment pattern for de-skewing data bits received on an elastic interface is disclosed. The interface alignment pattern is “busy” in that it has a high number of logic state transitions. The busy interface alignment pattern can be used for scrambling and unscrambling operational data. The interface alignment pattern has a unique timing sequence for determining the location of a data bit's first data beat.

    摘要: On-chip sensor to detect power supply vulnerabilities. The on-chip sensor employs a sensitive delay chain and an insensitive delay chain to detect power supply undershoots and overshoots without requiring external off-chip components. Undershoots and overshoots outside a user-defined threshold are detected. The undershoots and overshoots are indicated by a relative difference in phase of the two delay chains. The two delay chains are programmable to detect various frequencies.

    摘要: A computer program product and a hub device for deriving clocks in a memory system are provided. The computer program product includes a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for facilitating a method. The method includes receiving a reference oscillator clock at the hub device. The hub device is in communication with a controller channel via a controller interface and in communication with a memory device via a memory interface. A base clock operating at a base clock frequency is derived from the reference oscillator clock. A memory interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a memory multiplier. A controller interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a controller multiplier. The memory interface clock is applied to the memory interface and the controller interface clock is applied to the controller interface.

    摘要: A digital data link performance monitor technique for communication systems and information and data processing systems is disclosed. The technique is based on the integration and analysis of a plurality of sorted data edge transitions of a serial data stream received over the digital data link. The number of data edge sorts to each of n time intervals definitive of the edge histogram is compared with a predetermined threshold level and a monitor signal is generated with each comparison. The combination of monitor signals is then analyzed to determine the amount of data timing jitter, and therefore the quality of the link. Corresponding methods and circuits are described.
