摘要: A link simulation tool for simulating high-speed communications link systems is provided. Communications links may include link subsystems such as transmit (TX) circuitry, receive (TX) circuitry, oscillator circuits that provide reference clock signals to the TX and RX circuitry, and channels that link the TX and RX circuitry. The link simulation tool may model each of the subsystems using behavioral models. The behavioral models may include characteristic functions such as transfer functions, probability density functions, and eye characteristics. The link simulation tool may have a link analysis engine that is capable of performing two-dimensional (two-variable) convolution operations and in applying dual-domain (frequency-time) transformations on the characteristic functions provided by the behavioral models to simulate the performance of the link system. The link simulation tool may have an input screen that allows a user to specify desired link parameters and a data display screen that display simulated results.

摘要: Integrated circuit serializer circuitry is provided that converts parallel data to serial data on an integrated circuit. A two-phase global serializer master clock generator uses a four-phase internal clock to generate a two-phase global serializer master clock. The two-phase global serializer master clock is distributed globally on the integrated circuit using a distribution path. The integrated circuit has multiple serial communications channels each of which has an associated serializer. Each serializer contains circuitry that derives a number of clock signals from the two phases of the global serializer master clock. Each serializer uses the derived clocks in converting parallel data to serial data for transmission over its associated serial communications channel. The serializers each contain two smaller serializers that convert first and second sets of parallel data to first and second serial outputs. A 2:1 serializer in each serializer merges the first and second serial outputs.

摘要: Decision feedback equalizer (“DFE”) circuitry bases determination of the coefficients that are used in its various taps on the algebraic sign of the current value of an error signal and prior serial data signal values output by the DFE circuitry. Use of such algebraic sign information (rather than full error signal values) greatly simplifies the circuitry needed to determine the tap coefficients. The DFE circuitry can be adaptive, i.e., such that it automatically adjusts the tap coefficients for changing serial data signal transmission conditions.

摘要: Bang-bang phase detection (BBPD) methods and circuits are presented for providing low latency, low jitter phase detection for use in high data-rate applications. A shortened data-path implementation of BBPD methods and circuits provides low-latency production of two output signals including alternating samples of the input signal. Combinational logic circuitry is also provided to produce a clock-data recovery (CDR) signal indicative of the phase of the input signal with respect to a clock signal. The use of differential signals throughout the BBPD timing circuitry provides for the production of a low jitter CDR signal.

摘要: A dynamic flip-flop includes a leakage compensation circuit enabling operation over a wide range of frequencies. Nodes of the dynamic flip-flop store the flip-flop's state. The leakage compensation circuit drains leakage currents from these nodes to prevent the node voltage from rising and triggering an erroneous state change when a data signal changes in the middle of the clock cycle. The leakage compensation circuit associated with a node is activated when the node is set to a low logic level voltage. The leakage compensation circuit is adapted to draw a current from a node that compensates for the leakage current supplied to the node. At the least, this current draw is sufficient to prevent the voltage at the node from rising above a state change threshold voltage during the time period between refresh operations.
