    摘要: A field-programmable gate array (“FPGA”) may include data receiver and/or transmitter circuitry that is adapted to receive and/or transmit data at any frequency(ies) or data rate(s) in a wide range of possible frequencies or data rates. Phase-locked loop (PLL) circuitry may be needed for operation of such receiver and/or transmitter circuitry. For satisfactory operation over the wide frequency range, multiple PLL circuits are provided. One of these PLL circuits may be capable of operating over the entire frequency range, possibly with better jitter performance in some portions of the range than in other portions of the range. One or more other PLL circuits may be provided that are focused on particular parts of the broad range, especially where the jitter performance of the first-mentioned PLL may not be adequate to meet some possible needs.

    摘要: Equalization circuitry for receiving a digital data signal includes both feed-forward equalizer (“FFE”) circuitry and decision-feedback equalizer (“DFE”) circuitry. The FFE circuitry may be used to give the DFE circuitry a signal that is at least minimally adequate for proper start-up of the DFE circuitry. Thereafter, more of the burden of the equalization task may be shifted from the FFE circuitry to the DFE circuitry.

    摘要: A programmable technique is used to control the slew rate of a differential output buffer. A method controls the slew rate (SR) by changing an “on” resistance of the switches used to steer the current. This can be accomplished by (i) using different size switches or (ii) changing the slew rate of the predrivers which drive the final switches. The latter approach has the advantage that it only temporarily increases the “on” resistance, which does not cause any headroom problems after the transient. A specific application is for the differential outputs of a programmable logic integrated circuits.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for administering a communication network. In one embodiment, a first interface screen depicts nodes within a network. The nodes include a pair of media aggregation managers providing multiplexing/demultiplexing of media traffic associated with multiple application sessions between a pair of communities onto a preallocated reservation protocol session between the media aggregation managers. The media aggregation managers are visually distinguishable from other nodes. A second interface screen depicts potential paths through the network. Each potential path is capable of transferring media packets between the media aggregation managers. Via the second user interface screen, a network administrator is capable of initiating (1) path-level configuration of routers that are part of a selected potential path to cause the routers to route media packets exchanged between the pair of communities over the selected path, and (2) establishment of the preallocated reservation protocol session between the media aggregation managers.

    摘要: A serial data interface for a programmable logic device includes a receiver that deserializes a plurality of channels of received serial data using a recovered clock signal or a phase-aligned received clock signal. Byte boundaries are initially assigned, perhaps arbitrarily, and the deserialized signal is sent to the programmable logic core of the programmable logic device. Programmable logic in the core monitors the byte boundaries on each channel based on the criteria, including any user-defined parameters, programmed into the logic. If a boundary misalignment is detected, a signal is send from the core to bit-slipping circuitry on that channel of the interface to adjust the boundary. The signal could instruct the bit-slipping circuitry to adjust the boundary by the number of bits needed to correct the alignment. Alternatively, the bit-slipping circuitry could operate iteratively, adjusting the boundary by one bit, each cycle, until the signal stops indicating misalignment.

    摘要: A high-performance programmable logic architecture has embedded memory (608). arranged at the peripheries or edges of the integrated circuit. This enhances the performance of the programmable logic integrated circuit by shortening the lengths of the programmable interconnect (748). In a specific embodiment, the memory blocks (703) are organized in rows along the top and bottom edges of the integrated circuit. The logic elements (805) can be directly programmable routed and connected to driver blocks (809) of the logic block in adjacent rows and columns. This permits fast interconnection of signals without using the global programmable interconnect resources (815, 825). Using similar direct programmable interconnections (828, 830, 835), the logic blocks can directly programmable connect to the memory blocks without using the global programmable interconnect resources. The present invention also provides technique of flexibly combining or stitching multiple memories together to form memories of a desired size.
