The second transmit data multiplexing integrated circuit produces a single bit stream output at a line bit rate. The interface plurality of transmit bit streams is divided into a first group and a second group, wherein the first group is carried on first group of lines and the second group is carried on a second group of lines. The transmit data clock is carried on a line that is centered with respect to the first group of lines and the second group of lines such that it resides between the first group of lines and the second group of lines.

    Abstract: Communications systems, and particularly portable personal communications systems, such as portable phones, are becoming increasingly digital. One area that has remained largely analog, however, is the modulation and RF amplifier circuits. To produce a RF frequency waveform. An output of a class D amplifier is coupled to an integrator to create an analog signal. A resonant circuit shapes an output waveform based on the analog signal to create a sinusoidal RF broadcast signal. The waveform of the class D amplifier may be duty cycle modulated. Digital modulation may occur using a digital sigma delta modulator or a digital programmable divide modulator. Using the digital modulation techniques and class D amplification techniques together allows for broadcast a PSK signal that has been decomposed into amplitude and phase components.

    Abstract: Modern digital integrated circuits are commonly synchronized in their workings by clock circuits. The clock frequency for a circuit must take into account the propagation delay of signals within the critical path of the circuit. If the clock time is not adequate to allow propagation of signals through the critical path, improper circuit operation may result. The propagation delay is not a constant from circuit to circuit, and even in a single circuit may change due to temperature, power supply voltage and the like. Commonly, this variation is handled by assuming a worse case propagation delay of the critical path, and then designing the clock frequency and minimum power supply voltage of the circuit so that the circuit will function under worst case conditions. However, instead of assuming a worse case propagation delay of the critical path, the propagation delay may be measured in an actual circuit path that has been constructed to be the equivalent to, or slightly worse than, the propagation delay of the critical path. By knowing the actual worst case propagation delay, the circuit may be modified to operate with lower power supply voltages, conserving power and/or to controlling the frequency of the clock, so that the clock may be operated at or near the circuit's actual, not theoretical worst case limit. Such modifications of power supply voltage and/or clock frequency may occur during circuit operation and thus, adapt the circuit to the different operating parameters of each circuit.

    Abstract: A signal delay structure and method of reducing skew between clock and data signals in a high-speed serial communications interface includes making a global adjustment to the clock signal in the time domain to compensate for a component of the skew that is common between the clock and all data signals. This can include skew caused by the variation in frequency of the input clock from a nominal value, misalignment between the phase of the clock and data generated at the source of the two signals. The global adjustment is made through a delay component that is common to all of the clock signal lines for which skew with data signals is to be compensated. A second level adjustment is made that compensates for the component of the skew that is common to the clock and a subset of the data signals.

    Abstract: A communication device includes a communication port that includes a digital to analog converter (DAC) that may be configured to output for transmission an analog signal that corresponds to a digital input such as link data that is to be transmitted on a physical link. The communication port further includes a control unit coupled to the DAC and may be configured to provide a bias current to the DAC during operation. In addition, the control unit may further be configured to reduce the bias current to the DAC dependent upon a mode of operation of the communication port and whether there is data to transmit.
