    摘要: A serial interface for a programmable logic device substantially eliminates skew across multiple channels both in the receiver and in the transmitter. Even when the channels are independent (e.g., are in different quads), skew is substantially eliminated by monitoring to determine when all channels have reached their active states (i.e., in the case of receiver channels when all channels have achieved byte alignment and have received an alignment character, and in the case of transmitter channels when all transmit PLLs have locked), and only then allowing data to flow between the serial and parallel domains.

    摘要: A programmable logic device (“PLD”) includes high-speed serial interface (“HSSI”) circuitry. The HSSI circuitry includes clock signal circuitry that allows various components of the HSSI circuitry to be clocked in different ways to facilitate use of the HSSI circuitry to support a number of different communication protocols. Some of the HSSI clock signals may be routed through the clock distribution network of the associated PLD logic circuitry. The HSSI circuitry may include phase compensation buffer circuitry to compensate for possible phase differences across the interface between the HSSI circuitry and the associated PLD logic circuitry.

    摘要: A delay cell has selectable numbers of parallel load resistance transistors operable in parallel, and a similarly selectable number of bias current transistors connectable in parallel. The delay cell is preferably differential in construction and operation. A voltage controlled oscillator (“VCO”) includes a plurality of such delay cells connected in a closed loop series. Phase locked loop (“PLL”) circuitry includes such a VCO controlled by phase/frequency detector circuitry. The PLL can have a very wide range of operating frequencies as a result of the ability to control the number of load resistance transistors and bias current transistors that are active or inactive in each delay cell. Such activation/deactivation may be programmable or otherwise controlled.

    摘要: A serial interface for a programmable logic device provides multiple data rates in different channels by generating a central serial clock and providing at least one divider in each channel that can divide the central clock by different integer values. For additional variation in clock rate, two or more different central clocks can be provided, with each channel then being able to divide any of the central clocks to provide the desired local clock. Lower speed parallel clocks can be generated locally by further dividing the divided serial clock. Alternatively, the central serial clock or clocks may be divided centrally to provide a central parallel clock or clocks which can then be used locally as a local parallel clock.

Examples of the standards that can be supported are XAUI, InfiniBand, 1G Ethernet, FiberChannel, and Serial RapidIO. The HSSI circuitry may be partly programmable to support these various standards. In some cases control may come from the associated PLD core circuitry. Also in some cases some of the interface functions may be performed in the PLD core circuitry.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided using dynamically adjustable differential output drivers. Integrated circuits such as programmable logic devices may be provided with adjustable differential output drivers for transmitting high-speed data to other integrated circuits. The peak-to-peak output voltage and common-mode voltage of the output drivers may be adjusted. Dynamic control circuitry may be used to control the settings of current sources, programmable resistors, and voltage source circuitry in the adjustable differential output driver automatically in real time. The adjustable components in the differential output driver may be adjusted by the dynamic control circuitry based on feedback information received from the integrated circuit to which the data is transmitted.

    摘要: A method and system for operating a communication circuit during periods of reduced energy consumption are disclosed. Data may be transmitted over a communication link from a first device to a second device in a low-power state. The data may be used by the second device to update coefficients and/or synchronize the receiver of the second device to a transmitter of the first device, thereby enabling a more efficient or rapid transition from the low-power state to an active state. A transmitter of the first device and a receiver of the second device may be activated before transmission of the data and deactivated after transmission of the data. In this manner, a receiver of the second device may be refreshed to enable a more efficient transition from the low-power state to an active state.

    摘要: High-speed serial data transceiver circuitry on a programmable logic device (“PLD”) includes some channels that are able to operate at data rates up to a first, relatively low maximum data rate, and other channels that are able to operate at data rates up to a second, relatively high maximum data rate. The relatively low-speed channels are served by relatively low-speed phase locked loop (“PLL”) circuitry, and have other circuit components that are typically needed for handling data that is transmitted at relatively low data rates. The relatively high-speed channels are served by relatively high-speed PLLs, and have other circuit components that are typically needed for handling data that is transmitted at relatively high data rates.
