摘要:
A communication interface device, system, method, and design structure for error correcting code (ECC) protected quasi-static bit communication (SBC) on a high-speed bus are provided. The communication interface device includes high-speed sampling logic to capture high-speed data from the high-speed bus using a high-speed sampling clock and SBC sampling logic to capture SBC samples from the high-speed bus using an SBC sampling clock. The SBC sampling clock is slower than the high-speed sampling clock. The communication interface device also includes an SBC finite state machine (FSM) to detect a received SBC command in response to a static pattern persisting for a predetermined number of the SBC samples and command decoding logic to decode the received SBC command.

A communications system that may include a transmitter, a receiver, connected over a communications network. A communication link on the communications network may transfer data between the transmitter and the receiver. The system may also include a logic unit to scramble a plurality of portions of the data at the transmitter based upon the communication link and may unscramble the plurality of portions of the data at the receiver. As a result, the logic unit may provide improved performance of the communication link and/or reduced power consumption of the communication link.

A system, method and storage medium for deriving clocks in a memory system. The method includes receiving a reference oscillator clock at a 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.

Systems for making impedance adjustments that will auto-tune a communication path is disclosed. The method can utilize time domain reflectometry (TDR) to acquire data about impedance mismatches and can adjust the termination impedances based on the acquired data. A system is also disclosed that has an isolator to decouple a first adjustable resistor from a transmission path in a first mode and couple the first adjustable resistor to the path in a second mode. The system can have a test transmitter to create a first current on the path in the first mode and to create a second current having twice the current in a second mode, wherein a detector can detect a first voltage during the first mode and a second voltage in the second mode as the first adjustable resistive load is adjusted in the second mode until it reaches a value matching the first voltage detected in the first mode.

An integrated circuit for a memory input/output (I/O) pin has five different modes of operation. The memory chip is enabled to operate with unbuffered (or registered) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) as well as fully buffered DIMMs. A T-coil circuit equalizes the capacitive loading of the high-speed functions. An exemplary embodiment provides a memory chip containing a multi-functional physical I/O circuit that can act as power or ground; as a DDR2 or DDR3 interface; as a high-speed differential receiver; or as a high-speed differential transmitter.
