摘要: A multi-PAM equalizer receives an input signal distorted by inter-symbol interference (ISI) and expressing a series of symbols each representing one of four pulse amplitudes to convey two binary bits of data per symbol. High-order circuitry resolves the most-significant bit (MSB) of each two-bit symbol, whereas low-order circuitry 115 resolves the immediate least-significant bit (LSB). The MSB is used without the LSB for timing recovery and to calculate tap values for both MSB and LSB evaluation.

摘要: A line card in a network box receives a SyncE clock signal and an input SYNC signal. A phase-lock loop (PLL) in the line card receives the SyncE clock signal as a reference clock signal and generates an output SyncE clock signal. The line card regenerates a SYSCLK signal using a digitally controlled oscillator that receives a timing signal from the SyncE PLL and receives a control signal from control logic on the line card. The frequency and phase information contained in the SYNC signal is utilized to control the DCO. The SYSCLK signal is divided to generate an output SYNC signal. The control logic uses the time difference between the input SYNC signal and a SYNC feedback signal to control the DCO to provide a zero delay SYNC output signal. The output SYNC signal and the SYSCLK signal control a time of day counter in the line card.

摘要: A clock and data recovery circuit includes a phase detector (PD), a phase frequency detector (PFD), a multiplexer circuit, a conversion stage and an oscillator. The PD detects a difference in phase between a data signal and an oscillating signal to generate a first set of error signals. The PFD detects a difference in phase and frequency between a reference clock signal and the oscillating signal to generate a second set of error signals. The multiplexer circuit selectively outputs the first set of error signals or the second set of error signals as a third set of error signals according to a selection signal. The conversion stage determines a set of gains according to the selection signal, and converts the third set of error signals with the set of gains to generate a set of input signals. The oscillator generates the oscillating signal according to the set of input signals.

摘要: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology exploits modulated coded impulses over a wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance for digital data transmission. Today's leading edge modulated sinusoidal wave wireless communication standards and systems achieve power efficiencies of 50 nJ/bit employing narrowband signaling schemes and traditional RF transceiver architectures. However, such designs severely limit the achievable energy efficiency, especially at lower data rates such as below 1 Mbps. Further, it is important that peak power consumption is supportable by common battery or energy harvesting technologies and long term power consumption neither leads to limited battery lifetimes or an inability for alternate energy sources to sustain them. Accordingly, it would be beneficial for next generation applications to exploit inventive transceiver structures and communication schemes in order to achieve the sub nJ per bit energy efficiencies required by next generation applications.

摘要: Introduced here are techniques for implementing a clock and data recovery circuit with improved tendencies, such a pull up and/or pull down tendencies. In various embodiments, the CDR circuit includes a phase detector that receives an input signal and a output reference clock signal. The phase detector then outputs two signals to charge pump. The output from the charge pump drives an oscillator control voltage up or down depending the current from the charge pump. A lock detector detects whether a lock has occurred by comparing the oscillator control voltage to a predetermined threshold voltage. A lock can occur when the circuit has settled into a frequency substantially near the frequency of the input signal and the oscillator control voltage is substantially near the threshold voltage. A controller circuit can control a sweeping of an available frequency range by the circuit until a lock occurs.
