    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting a loss of lock condition in a clock and data recovery system. A loss of lock condition is detected in a clock and data recovery system that generates a recovered clock signal from a received signal by sampling the received signal for a plurality of different phases using one or more latches clocked by the recovered clock; evaluating the samples to monitor a data eye associated with the received signal; and detecting the loss of lock condition if the data eye does not satisfy one or more predefined conditions. Generally, the predefined conditions identify a loss of the data eye (e.g, when the data eye cannot be substantially detected), for example, based on a degree of opening of the data eye. The clock and data recovery system can optionally be restarted if the loss of lock condition is detected.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining the threshold position of one or more latches employed for decision-feedback equalization in the presence of a non-linear channel. A latch employed by a decision-feedback equalizer is positioned by constraining input data such that the input data only contains transitions from a first binary value; obtaining a plurality of samples of a single-sided data eye associated with the constrained input data; determining a threshold position of the latch based on the samples; and transforming the determined position to address the non-linearity of the channel. For example, a non-linear mapping table can map measured threshold values to transformed threshold values based on distance.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining one or more channel compensation parameters based on data eye monitoring. According to one aspect of the invention, a method is provided for evaluating the quality of a data eye associated with a signal. The received signal is sampled for a plurality of different phases, for example, using at least two latches, and the samples are evaluated to identify when the signal crosses a predefined amplitude value, such as a zero crossing. It is determined whether the points of predefined amplitude crossing satisfy one or more predefined criteria. One or more parameters of one or more channel compensation techniques can optionally be adjusted based on a result of the determining step. One or more parameters of an adjacent transmitter can also be adjusted to reduce near end cross talk based on a result of the determining step.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for improving the performance of second order CDR systems. The integral state of the CDR system is initialized to a value that is based on an expected frequency profile that may be known a priori for certain applications. One or more quality of lock (QOL) metrics are also monitored that are derived from the integral register state value. A quality of a locking between a received signal and a local clock generated by a Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) system is evaluated by monitoring a state value of an integral register in a digital loop filter of the CDR system; evaluating one or more predefined criteria based on the integral register state value; and identifying a poor lock condition if the one or more predefined criteria are not satisfied.

    摘要: In an exemplary embodiment, noise prediction-based data detection is described with respect to a SERDES (serializer/deserializer) backplane primary channel subject to inter-symbol interference (ISI) noise and added cross-talk noise from other channels. Noise prediction-based data detection combines an added error component from inter-symbol interference (ISI) noise and an added error component from cross-talk noise into an overall noise prediction error term and cancels effects of residual ISI and cross-talk for various components of the exemplary embodiment.

    摘要: A circuit for spread spectrum rate control uses a first interpolator to phase interpolate between a first signal and a second signal and generate a first output signal based on a first control signal. A second interpolator is utilized to phase interpolate between a third signal and a fourth signal and generate a second output signal based on a second control signal. A multiplexer is used to select, based on a select signal, the first output signal or the second output signal as a spread spectrum clock (SSCLK). A leap-frog interpolator control is used to generate, in synchronism with the SSCLK, the first control signal based on a first type of phase adjustment request, the second control signal based on a second type of phase adjustment request, and the select signal to switch the multiplexer between the first output signal and the second output signal after allowing for an interpolator settling time when changing the first control signal or the second control signal.

    摘要: A communication system that enables a specified end-user device to obtain a media file corresponding to a delayed-play entry of a content-definition table prior to the scheduled play time. To deliver the media file to the end user, a service provider requests and receives the corresponding content from a content provider, generates the media file based on the received content, and temporarily stores the media file in a storage unit associated with the service provider. The service provider then breaks the media file into a plurality of data frames and transmits them to the end-user device during an appropriate delivery-opportunity window for storage in local storage unit (e.g., a hard drive) associated with the end-user device. At the play time, the service provider transmits to the end-user device a media-activation packet to initiate rendering thereat a copy of the media file assembled from the data frames stored in the local storage unit.
