    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting and decoding adaptive equalization training frames (having a frame marker comprised of a string of binary ones and binary zeroes). Training frames are detected by shifting the received data; inserting at least one binary value at one end of the shifted received data to generate a modified version of the received data; applying a logic function to the received data and the modified version of the received data that identifies when corresponding bit positions have different values; and detecting the frame marker when an output of the logic function has a first binary value in an approximate middle of a string of a second binary value. The training frames are decoded using a distance between the approximate center of the frame maker and a predefined binary value in an output of the logic function.

    摘要: A parallel trimming method and apparatus are provided for a voltage controlled delay loop. A plurality of delay units in a voltage controlled delay loop are trimmed. Each delay unit comprises a delay element and a latch buffer. A reference signal is applied to each of the delay units and a position of an edge (such as a rising or falling edge) associated with each of the delay units is identified. The edges of the delay units are then aligned by adjusting a trim setting of the respective latch buffer.

    摘要: The present invention is used to automatically calibrate a SERDES device by utilizing information provided in the eye diagram of the received signal. In particular, the invention mitigates the components of determininistic jitter, such as ISI and frequency distortion. To achieve this goal, the invention enables the receive side of the SERDES to evaluate the quality of the eye received using a cost function. The invention calculates the cost function associated with the received data and then uses this information to effect an auto calibration of the SERDES device.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for adaptive determination of timing signals, such as on a high speed parallel bus. The invention adaptively determines a timing signal having a first edge with respect to an internal clock, wherein the timing signal includes a period in which the timing signal is undriven, followed by a period immediately before a first transition in which the timing signal is in a predefined state. The timing signal is evaluated using one or more comparators; and an output of the one or more comparators are latched based on a clock signal. The clock signal is adjusted until the one or more comparators indicate the timing signal is in the known and valid state. The clock signal is further adjusted until the one or more comparators indicate the first transition has been reached. Thereafter, a gating control signal is established based on a timing of the first transition.

    摘要: A digital communication system including a Viterbi decoder for tracing a path through a trellis of individual state information and method of operation are disclosed. The traceback determines a decoded symbol. A trellis of branch origin data is stored in an array of registers. The branch origin data associated with a symbol instant is a cell. Each cell of data is generated by execution of an update instruction form a digital signal process (DSP) to the coprocessor. A first predetermined traceback length is written to a traceback length register. The first predetermined traceback length is small to minimize tracebacks cycling into branch origin data from a previous transmission burst. A traceback is initiated by the DSP providing the coprocessor a single traceback instruction. The Viterbi decoder alternates between update and traceback instructions. At a predetermined symbol instant, the traceback length is increased to a second predetermined length by over-writing the traceback length register. The second predetermined length is selected relative to the predetermined symbol instant to assure tracebacks do not cycle into branch origin data from a previous transmission burst. After all updates are complete, the update instruction is omitted and the traceback instruction repeatedly executed until all symbols from a transmission burst are decoded.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for trimming of one or more CDR clock buffers using a histogram of clock-like data patterns. One or more clock buffers in a clock and data recovery system are trimmed by receiving a first transmitted clock-like data pattern in a reduced rate mode, wherein the first transmitted clock-like data pattern is transmitted using a first rate mode and wherein the reduced rate mode divides the first rate mode by an integer value that is greater than one; locking the clock and data recovery system using the received version of the first transmitted clock-like data pattern in the reduced rate mode; receiving a second transmitted clock-like data pattern, wherein the second transmitted clock-like data pattern has a run-length that is an integer division of a run-length of the first transmitted clock-like data pattern, wherein the integer division is greater than one; and adjusting a phase of the one or more clock buffers using the second transmitted clock-like data pattern. The first and second transmitted clock-like data patterns can be transmitted by a local transmitter in a loopback mode. Generally, the received version of the first transmitted clock-like data pattern has edges that correspond to only positive or negative edges of the first transmitted clock-like data pattern.
