    Abstract: In a method for recovery of a clock from a received digital data stream and an apparatus for recovering a clock from a received digital data stream, phase-shifted clock signals are generated from a receiver's clock. After selecting one of the phase-shifted clock signals, two other phase-shifted clock signals are determined. Depending on sample values taken at rising/falling edges of the three selected phase-shifted clock signals, counter values are increased and compared. The selection of phase-shifted clock signals and the steps of sampling the input digital data stream, comparing the values and increasing counter values, if required, are repeatedly performed until the comparison result of the counter values indicates that one of the latter determined phase-shifted clock signals strobes the received digital data stream in the centre of a bit period.

    Abstract: An embodiment of a low-to-high-level voltage translator is proposed. This translator translates the low voltage swing signals for the core into high voltage swing signals of the I/O blocks. This translator may be particularly useful for high-speed application where the difference between the core and the I/O supply voltage is very large, e.g., the core is working at 0.8V and the I/O is working at 3.6V or higher without little or no static power dissipation. The proposed translator may give improved transition times and propagation delays as compared to conventional translators. The proposed translator may also use less hardware in comparison to other such translators.

    Abstract: A GOP-independent dynamic bit-rate controller system includes a user interface to receive one or more input parameters, a bit-rate controller and an encoder. The bit-rate controller regulates a bit-rate of an output bit-stream. The bit-rate controller includes multiple bit-rate modules to determine a bit-estimate and a quantization parameter, and a control module to calculate a convergence period based on the received input parameters and a frame rate. The control module selects a bit rate module based on the convergence period and the encoder generates the output bit-stream using the quantization parameter determined by the bit rate module.

    Abstract: A circuit for glitchless switching between asynchronous clocks includes a select circuit and enable circuits. The select circuit receives a selection signal for selecting one of the clock input signals and to generate enabling signals for activating the corresponding enable circuits on the basis of the current output signal. The feedback logic in the circuit ensures that at any given instance only one of the clock input signals is outputted so as to avoid the formation of glitches. The circuit can be applied to switches between any number of asynchronous clocks.

    Abstract: An offset free sinc interpolating filter includes differentiators operating at a first sampling frequency, integrators operating at a second sampling frequency and one or more coefficient multipliers. The coefficient multipliers multiply a received value with a constant coefficient value to generate an output value. The differentiators, integrators and coefficient multipliers can be operatively coupled to each other, either directly or through other components such as adders and delay elements, or by a combination of the two. In operation, an input signal is provided to the sinc interpolating filter at the first sampling frequency. The input signal is processed by the differentiators, integrators and coefficient multipliers to generate an output signal at the second sampling frequency. Once the output signal is generated, the integrators are reset before the next input cycle begins.

    Abstract: A balanced differential amplifier sense amplifier senses the voltage level in a selected single bit line memory cell. The output of the selected single bit-line memory cell is connected to one input of the balanced differential sense amplifier while the other input receives a reference voltage provided by a corresponding single bit-line memory cell from a complementary memory bank. A supporting voltage is added-to/subtracted-from the reference voltage by providing a “bump” or “dip” mechanism or by utilizing a charge-sharing structure, in order to compensate for the variation in the sensed bit-line voltage over the duration of the sensing interval as well as for the disparity in voltage level from cell to cell.
