    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Signal detection circuitry for a serial interface oversamples the input—i.e., samples the input multiple times per clock cycle—so that the likelihood of missing a signal is reduced. Sampling may be done with a regenerative latch which has a large bandwidth and can latch a signal at high speed. The amplitude threshold for detection may be programmable, particularly in a programmable device. Thus, between the use of a regenerative latch which is likely to catch any signal that might be present, and the use of oversampling to avoid the problem of sampling at the wrong time, the likelihood of failing to detect a signal is greatly diminished. Logic, such as a state machine, may be used to determine whether the samples captured s do or do not represent a signal. That logic may be programmable, allowing a user to set various parameters for signal detection.

    Abstract: A programmable logic device integrated circuit (“PLD”) includes high-speed serial interface (“HSSI”) circuitry in addition to programmable logic circuitry. The HSSI circuitry includes multiple channels of nominal data-handling circuitry (typically including clock and data recovery (“CDR”) circuitry), and at least one channel of nominal clock management unit (“CMU”) circuitry (typically including phase-locked loop (“PLL”) circuitry or the like). To increase the flexibility with which the channels can be used, the nominal data-handling channels are equipped to alternatively perform CMU-type functions, and the nominal CMU channel is equipped to alternatively perform data-handling functions.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for compensating for phase and timing delays in clock signals generated by phase-locked loops and delay-locked loops on integrated circuits. Circuit elements coupled in a feedback loop of a locked circuit can compensate for the timing and phase delays between an input pin and an output pin. Other circuit elements coupled in the feedback loop of a locked circuit can compensate for the delay between an input pin and a destination circuit element. Still other circuit elements coupled in an input reference path of a locked circuit preserve a timing relationship between input clock and input data signals. A clock signal and a data signal received at a destination circuit element have the same phase and timing relationship that exists between the input clock and input data signals at input pins.

    Abstract: A loss-of-signal detector includes digital and analog monitoring of incoming data. The incoming signal is compared digitally to at least one predetermined pattern that may indicate a loss of signal, and also is monitored by an analog detector that detects transitions in the data. If the digital comparison fails to match any of the at least one predetermined pattern, or if transitions are detected by the analog monitoring, even if the digital comparison produces a pattern match, then loss of signal is not indicated.
