    Abstract: A photonic communication system communicates M signals over a waveguide by modulating M wavelengths of light. N photonic rings at a receiver, where N is greater than M, are used to demodulate the M wavelengths. The modulated frequencies and resonant wavelengths of the receive rings are allowed to drift relative to one another. The number of receive rings is greater than the number of modulated frequency, and the number and optical characteristics of the receive rings are selected such that a subset of the receive rings effectively demodulates over the operational frequency range of the incoming light. The system tracks relative drift between the modulated wavelengths and the resonant wavelengths of the receiving rings and automatically selects the correct modulated signal or signals from among the receiving rings. The free spectral ranges and optical lengths of the receive rings are selected to reduce or minimize the number of receive rings required to span the optical bandwidth of the modulated light.

    Abstract: A signaling circuit having a selectable-tap equalizer. The signaling circuit includes a buffer, a select circuit and an equalizing circuit. The buffer is used to store a plurality of data values that correspond to data signals transmitted on a signaling path during a first time interval. The select circuit is coupled to the buffer to select a subset of data values from the plurality of data values according to a select value. The equalizing circuit is coupled to receive the subset of data values from the select circuit and is adapted to adjust, according to the subset of data values, a signal level that corresponds to a data signal transmitted on the signaling path during a second time interval.

    Abstract: In a first clock frequency multiplier, multiple injection-locked oscillators (ILOs) having spectrally-staggered lock ranges are operated in parallel to effect a collective input frequency range substantially wider than that of a solitary ILO. After each input frequency change, the ILO output clocks may be evaluated according to one or more qualifying criteria to select one of the ILOs as the final clock source. In a second clock frequency multiplier, a flexible-injection-rate injection-locked oscillator locks to super-harmonic, sub-harmonic or at-frequency injection pulses, seamlessly transitioning between the different injection pulse rates to enable a broad input frequency range. The frequency multiplication factor effected by the first and/or second clock frequency multipliers in response to an input clock is determined on the fly and then compared with a programmed (desired) multiplication factor to select between different frequency-divided instances of the frequency-multiplied clock.

    Abstract: A circuit for performing clock recovery according to a received digital signal. The circuit includes at least an edge sampler and a data sampler for sampling the digital signal, and a clock signal supply circuit. The clock signal supply circuit provides edge clock and data clock signals offset in phase from one another to the respective clock inputs of the edge sampler and the data sampler. A digital phase detector determines if the data clock is early, late or synchronized with respect to data value transitions in the digital signal, and based on that determination provides a phase adjustment signal to the clock signal supply circuit, which is operable to vary phases of the data and edge clock signals accordingly.
