    摘要: A phase frequency detector compares a reference clock signal to a feedback clock signal to generate pulses in one or more output signals. The one or more output signals have a minimum pulse width. The phase frequency detector has a temperature sensing circuit. The phase frequency detector adjusts the minimum pulse width of the one or more output signals using the temperature sensing circuit to compensate for variations in the temperature of the phase frequency detector.

    摘要: Wide range and dynamically reprogrammable CDR architecture recovers an embedded clock signal from serial input data with a wide range of operating frequencies. In order to support a wide range of data rates, the CDR architecture includes multiple operating parameters. These parameters include various pre/post divider settings, charge pump currents, loop-filter and bandwidth selections, and VCO gears. The parameters may be dynamically reprogrammed without powering down the circuitry or PLD. This allows the CDR circuitry to switch between various standards and protocols on-the-fly.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for dynamically reconfiguring programmable circuit blocks on integrated circuits during user mode. First configuration bits are loaded from first configuration scan registers into second configuration scan registers during configuration mode. The first configuration bits are used to configure programmable settings of a programmable circuit block. During user mode, second configuration bits are transmitted from a pin to the second configuration scan registers without transferring the second configuration bits through the first configuration scan registers. The second configuration bits are used to reconfigure the programmable settings of the programmable circuit block during the user mode. Also, phase shift circuitry can dynamically shift the phase of an output clock signal by selecting a different input clock signal. The phase shift circuitry has a delay circuit that allows the phase of a high frequency clock signal to be shifted without causing glitches in the clock signal.

    摘要: Equalization of an incoming data signal can be controlled by sampling that signal at times when data values in that signal should be stable (“data samples”) and when that signal should be in transition between successive data values that are different (“transition samples”). A transition sample that has been taken between two successive differently valued data samples is compared to a reference value (which can be one of those two data samples). The result of this comparison can be used as part of a determination as to whether to increase or decrease equalization of the incoming data signal.

    摘要: Methods and circuits for automatic adjustment of equalization are presented that improve the quality of equalization for input signals with varying amplitudes. The methods and circuits may be used in Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE) circuits to maintain a constant equalization boost amplitude despite variations in input signal amplitude. The equalization circuitry measures the amplitude of the equalization input signal and computes tap coefficients to maintain a desired level of boost amplitude. Tap coefficients may be automatically adjusted by the equalization circuitry.

    摘要: Methods and circuits are presented for providing equalization, including decision feedback equalization (DFE), to high data-rate signals. Half-rate delay-chain circuitry produces delayed samples of an input signal using two or more delay-chain circuits operating at a fraction of the input signal data-rate. Two delay-chain circuits operating at one-half the input signal data-rate may be used. More generally, n delay-chain circuits operating at 1/n the input signal data-rate may be used. Multiplexer circuitry combines the outputs of the delay-chain circuits to produce an output signal including samples of the input signal at the input signal data-rate. Duplicate path DFE circuitry includes two paths used to provide DFE equalization while reducing the load of the DFE circuitry on the circuitry that precedes it. A first path produces delayed samples of a DFE signal, while a second path produces the DFE output signal from the delayed samples.

    摘要: Circuitry for distributing signals such as reference clock signals among blocks of transceiver circuitry on an integrated circuit such as a field programmable gate array (“FPGA”) employs bidirectional buffers rather than unidirectional buffers. This allows all buffers to have the same construction regardless of physical location, which facilitates construction of the circuitry using identical or substantially identical modules. The same approach may be used for distributing other types of signals among the transceiver blocks. For example, this approach may be used for distributing calibration control signals.
