    摘要: An apparatus and method for distributing multiple clock signals to multiple devices using an encoded clock signal is provided. A source clock signal can be encoded to result in an encoded system clock. The encoded system clock can be distributed to multiple devices in a computer system. The devices can decode the encoded system clock signal to generate a system clock signal and a global clock signal. The system clock signal and the global clock signal can then be distributed to their respective clock loads on each device. In certain embodiments, additional information, such as state information, can be encoded into the encoded system clock. A device can be configured to decode the additional information and can alter its state accordingly.

    摘要: A method for dividing a high frequency clock signal for analysis of all clock edges has been developed. The method includes receiving a high frequency clock signal and dividing it up into multiple phases that represent respective edges of the clock signal. The initial phases are generated by the divider with each subsequent phase lagging its preceding phase by one clock cycle. Additional subsequent phases are generated by inverting corresponding initial phases.

    摘要: A mechanism is provided for constructing an oversampled waveform for a set of incoming signals received by a receiver. In one implementation, the oversampled waveform is constructed by way of cooperation between the receiver and a waveform construction mechanism (WCM). The receiver receives the incoming signals, samples a subset of the incoming signals at a time, stores the subsets of sample values into a set of registers, and subsequently provides the subsets of sample values to the WCM. The WCM in turn sorts through the subsets of sample values, organizes them into proper orders, and “stitches” them together to construct the oversampled waveform for the set of incoming signals. With proper cooperation between the receiver and the WCM, and with proper processing logic on the WCM, it is possible to construct the oversampled waveform for the incoming signals without requiring large amounts of resources on the receiver.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system for minimizing ringing in a high speed channel between a transmitter and a receiver in a circuit, including a component for initializing an n-tap equalization filter. The n-tap equalization filter includes numerous taps, each associated with each of numerous jitter pulses received from the transmitter at the receiver and over the channel. Many of the jitter pulses are greater than two. Further, each tap occurs at a time-domain point related to a time of a corresponding jitter pulse included within the numerous jitter pulses. Moreover, a component for applying the n-tap equalization filter to a subsequent signal sent over the channel is also included.

    摘要: An asymmetric DFE receiver circuit. The receiver circuit includes a voltage measuring unit configured to determine a signal voltage of a received signal, and a comparator unit configured to calculate a difference between the signal voltage and an evaluation threshold voltage and to compare the difference to the value of a midpoint voltage. The comparator unit is configured to generate a first control signal if the difference is greater than the midpoint voltage value or a second control signal if the signal voltage is less than the midpoint voltage value. The receiver includes an adjustment circuit configured to adjust the evaluation threshold voltage toward the signal voltage if the first control signal is generated and away from the signal voltage if the second control signal is generated. The rates of adjustment may vary depending upon whether the received signal is a transition bit or a non-transition bit.
