    摘要: A high-speed parallel interface for communicating data between integrated circuits is disclosed. The interface is implemented by a transmitter and receiver pair and a single-ended parallel interconnect bus coupling to the transmitter and receiver pair. As opposed to transmitting small swing signals over differential signal lines, the transmitter transmits data to the receiver at full swing over the single-ended parallel interconnect bus. The invention can be implemented with simple CMOS circuitry that does not consume large die area. Accordingly, many link interfaces can be implemented on a single chip to provide a large data bandwidth.

    摘要: A system and method is provided for bit eye center retraining. In general, the system samples an incoming data stream to determine where transitions in the data stream occur, selectively compares the location of the transitions to the expected locations to produce difference values, and combines pairs of difference values to determine when the sample point of the data stream needs to be adjusted.

    摘要: Conventional receiver architectures are based on either frequency/phase tracking or oversampling. Both receiver types typically employ sensitive analog circuits, which create noise, consume power and utilize valuable space in their implementation. The invention adopts a novel approach to phase/frequency tracking that utilizes the edges or zero crossings of the input data waveform to effectively track the remote transmitter clock phase/frequency. This methodology minimizes the use of analog circuitry, thereby reducing the noise domain and the substrate space required for implementation of a tracking device.

    摘要: An interface alignment pattern for de-skewing data bits received on an elastic interface is disclosed. The interface alignment pattern is “busy” in that it has a high number of logic state transitions. The busy interface alignment pattern can be used for scrambling and unscrambling operational data. The interface alignment pattern has a unique timing sequence for determining the location of a data bit's first data beat.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for testing a serial connection is presented. A serial data stream is transmitted from a sending device to a receiving device. The serial data stream is generated using sending device timing information and input data. A receiver in the receiving device recovers both the timing information and the input data and then inputs them back into a transmitter located in the receiving device. The transmitter in the receiving device then generates a second serial data stream based on the recovered input data and the sending device timing information. A receiver in the sending device receives the second serial data stream and outputs the sending device timing information and input data to a FIFO buffer, for alignment of the input data. Since the input data and timing information are generated based on a sending device timing information, the FIFO can provide a signal for testing by performing phase alignment on the data. There is no need to re-synchronize the data in the sending device. Using the sending device timing information to generate and test information in the sending device, removes the need to test data using a FIFO in the receiving device and reduces the complexity and processing requirements of the FIFO in the sending device.

    摘要: A data transmitter and a data receiver generate respective synchronous signals from a common reference signal. The data receiver adjusts a phase of a first clock signal using each one of one-bit data signals each consisting of a single bit of received parallel data, so that a setup time and a hold time are ensured for the each one-bit data signal, and loads each one-bit data signal into a data buffer in accordance with the adjusted clock signal. Then, the data receiver reads the data held in the data buffer, in accordance with a second clock signal and in synchronization with the receiver synchronous signal. A memory position where the data signal is to be loaded is initialized when a training pattern transmitted in synchronization with the transmitter synchronous signal is detected.
