Abstract: In apparatus for die-to-die communication, a first die includes at least a first circuit, and a second die includes at least a second circuit. The first die is separated by a fixed distance from the second die. In response to a signal, the first circuit is configured to induce a current in the second circuit via a magnetic coupling between the first circuit and the second circuit.

Abstract: A system for data transmission includes a physical (PHY) layer which has a rate detection module which determines an adopted clock rate. The rate detection module provides a rate detection signal indicative of the adopted clock rate. The PHY layer includes a reference clock generator which has an input coupled to receive the rate detection signal and an output to provide a reference clock output. The PHY layer includes a PHY interface which has a first input coupled to receive the reference clock output, a data input and a data output. The PHY interface receives data from a MAC interface at the data input and transmits data to the MAC interface through the data output responsive to the reference clock output.

Abstract: A frequency synthesizer includes a phase-locked loop (PLL). The PLL includes a first voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a second VCO, each comprising an oscillator, a capacitor bank, and a bias circuit. The capacitor bank is configured to selectably adjust an output frequency of the oscillator. The bias circuit is configured to provide a bias current to the oscillator, and includes a current digital-to-analog converter (IDAC), and an amplifier coupled to the IDAC and configured to drive the oscillator.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing a high speed phase demodulation scheme using a low bandwidth phase-lock loop are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a low bandwidth phase lock loop to lock to a data signal at a first phase, the data signal capable of oscillating at the first phase or a second phase; and output a first output signal at the first phase and a second output signal at the second phase, the first output signal or the second output signal being utilized in a feedback loop of the low bandwidth phase lock loop. The example apparatus further includes a fast phase change detection circuit coupled to the low bandwidth phase lock loop to determine whether the data signal is oscillating at the first phase or the second phase.
