    摘要: Vector signaling code communications systems rely on group transmission of code symbols using multiple signaling channels that must be actively monitored and adjusted to minimize differential signal characteristics. Information obtained during receive detection may be analyzed to identify channel operational characteristics during normal operation and perform non-disruptive channel adjustments. Initialization or start-up adjustment may also be performed using intentionally transmitted patterns.

    摘要: Fixed capacitive circuits are described which perform arithmetical summation operations over sets of scaled analog values, where the constant parameters of the summations and scaling multiplications are formed as ratios of circuit element values. The passive nature of the design can enable efficient integrated circuit implementation.
