    摘要: In a communications device having a physical layer device and a processing device connected to the physical layer device, the number of input/output (I/O) ports required for communication between the devices in the gigabit range is substantially reduced by utilizing millivolt differential I/O drivers and receivers. In addition, a calibration feedback loop synchronizes the data and clock signals on the processing device, thereby eliminating the need to recover the clock on the processing device.

    摘要: A repeater interface controller ("RIC") integrated circuit with integrated filters and buffer drivers is provided for use in a repeater. In one embodiment, the RIC uses two filters to filter link pulse signals and data signals for a plurality of ports. Thus, the RIC is able to concurrently provide filtered link pulses to some ports and filtered data signals to other ports. Further, because only two filters are used, the area required to implement the plurality of ports is reduced relative to conventional repeaters that use a filter for each port. In another embodiment of the present invention, a RIC includes a logic circuit and a plurality of analog multiplexers and twisted pair buffer drivers. The analog multiplexers receive signals on their input lines and select which of these signals are passed to the buffer drivers to be outputted. The logic circuit provides control signals to the analog multiplexers such that the analog multiplexers select a new input line when the signal on the new input line is approximately the same as the signal on the currently selected input line. As a result, the signal passed on to the buffer drivers remains approximately the same, thereby reducing switching noise.

    摘要: A precision amplifier that, in response to digital inputs, zeros its offset voltage. The precision amplifier comprises a traditional amplifier; a current source controlled by a counter; a comparator; test switches; and control logic. A digital input, such as might be generated from a microprocessor, initiates the offset adjustment. The test switches disconnect the amplifier inputs from external package connections and connect the inputs together. The counter begins to count, changing the current produced by the current source at each count. The current from the current source is applied to the offset adjust circuit of the amplifier which changes the offset voltage as the current changes. The counter counts until the comparator indicates the offset voltage has been zeroed. Alternative embodiments allow the precision amplifier to adjust for offset introduced by circuitry connected to the input and the output of the precision amplifier.
