摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing a transition-controlled, DC-balanced sequence of characters from an input sequence of data bytes is disclosed herein. The bits in each of the data bytes are selectively complemented in accordance with the number of logical transitions in each data byte in order to produce selectively complemented data blocks. A cumulative disparity is then determined between the logical values of different type included within ones of the selectively complemented data blocks previously encoded into characters. In addition, a current disparity in a candidate character associated with a current one of the selectively complemented data blocks being encoded is also determined. The candidate character is assigned to the current one of the selectively complemented data blocks if the current disparity is of a polarity opposite to a first polarity of the cumulative disparity. Alternately, the complement of the candidate character is assigned to the current one of the selectively complemented data blocks if the current disparity is of the first polarity. In a high-transition mode of operation, the bits within data blocks including less than a minimum number of logical transitions are selectively complemented so that each such selectively complemented data block includes in excess of the minimum number of logical transitions. In a low-transition mode of operation, the bits within data blocks having more than a predefined number of logical transitions are selectively complemented so that each such selectively complemented data block includes less than the maximum number of logical transitions.
摘要:
A new high-speed digital interface for transmitting video information over various transmission media including terminated copper wires such as twisted-pair wires and fiber optical cable is described. The significance of this new interface is that (1) it only uses a small number of data channels with all timing and control data embedded in data transmission, (2) it uses a transition controlled binary DC balanced coding for reliable, low-power and high-speed data transmission, (3) it uses low-swing differential voltage which minimizes EMI, and (4) it can be implemented in low-cost scaleable CMOS technology as a megacell or standard IC. The high-speed digital interface incorporates a method and apparatus for producing a transition-controlled, DC-balanced sequence of characters from an input sequence of data bytes. The bits in each of the data bytes are selectively complemented in accordance with the number of logical transitions in each data byte in order to produce selectively complemented data blocks. A cumulative disparity is then determined between the logical values of different type included within ones of the selectively complemented data blocks previously encoded into characters. In addition, a current disparity in a candidate character associated with a current one of the selectively complemented data blocks being encoded is also determined. The candidate character is assigned to the current one of the selectively complemented data blocks if the current disparity is of a polarity opposite to a first polarity of the cumulative disparity. Alternately, the complement of the candidate character is assigned to the current one of the selectively complemented data blocks if the current disparity is of the first polarity. In a high-transition mode of operation, the bits within data blocks including less than a minimum number of logical transitions are selectively complemented so that each such selectively complemented data block includes in excess of the minimum number of logical transitions. In a low-transition mode of operation, the bits within data blocks having more than a predefined number of logical transitions are selectively complemented so that each such selectively complemented data block includes less than the maximum number of logical transitions.
摘要:
A device and method for synchronizing a local clock to a reference clock. The device uses a frequency acquisition loop and a phase acquisition loop. The frequency acquisition loop delays the reference clock to produce an intermediate clock which falls within the operating range of the phase acquisition loop. The phase acquisition loop then delays the intermediate clock to produce a local clock synchronized to the reference clock.

A phase lock loop includes a charge pump, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a phase frequency detector. The phase frequency detector has a dynamic logic structure. The phase frequency detector generates up and down signals for directing the charge pump to provide a voltage signal to the VCO to vary the frequency of the VCO clock. The difference between the up and down signals is indicative of the phase difference between the reference clock signal and the VCO clock. The phase frequency detector includes up and down signal generators for generating the up and down signals, respectively.

摘要:
A delay-locked loop (DLL), including frequency detection logic and a phase detector, is described having an operating range as wide as a conventional charge pump phase locked loop. The frequency detector logic counts the number of rising edges of the multi-phase clocks generated from a reference clock during one period of the reference clock. A loop filter is used to adjust the frequency of each multi-phase clock until frequency lock is obtained by comparing the number of rising edges. After frequency lock, phase detection logic is used to finely tune out the remaining phase error.

A method and apparatus for producing a transition-controlled, DC-balanced sequence of characters from an input sequence of data bytes. The bits in each of the data bytes are selectively complemented in accordance with the number of logical `1` signals in each data byte in order to produce selectively complemented data blocks. A cumulative disparity is then determined between the logical values of different type included within ones of the selectively complemented data blocks previously encoded into characters. In addition, a current disparity in a candidate character associated with a current one of the selectively complemented data blocks being encoded is also determined. The candidate character is assigned to the current one of the selectively complemented data blocks if the current disparity is of a polarity opposite to a first polarity of the cumulative disparity. Alternately, the complement of the candidate character is assigned to the current one of the selectively complemented data blocks if the current disparity is of the first polarity. In a high-transition mode of operation, the bits within data blocks including fewer than a minimum number of logical `1` signals are selectively complemented so that each such selectively complemented data block includes in excess of the minimum number of logical transitions. In a low-transition mode of operation, the bits within data blocks having more than a predefined number of logical `1` signals are selectively complemented so that each such selectively complemented data block includes less than the maximum number of logical transitions.
摘要:
A bidirectional turbo ISI canceller cancels precursor-ISI as well as postcursor-ISI in a received signal without incorporating a multiplicative feedforward equalization filter. This is accomplished by taking a three-step receiver design approach. In the first step, an optimal single-symbol RAKE receiver is designed to comprise a CMF, a codeword correlator bank, and an energy bias (EB) canceller under the assumption that no ISI is generated by preceding or trailing symbols. In a second step, a DFE is included for suppressing postcursor-ISI caused by a preceding symbol. Finally, a precursor ISI canceler is used to remove the remaining ISI caused by a trailing symbol. All three components may be integrated into a BTIC-based receiver applying turbo-iteration processing.
