    摘要: In described embodiments, a multiple first-in, first-out buffer pointers (multi-FIFO pointers) alignment system includes synchronization circuitry to align multiple FIFO buffer operations. A FIFO read clock stoppage signal is generated by master logic that stops the read clock shared by all the transmit channels and then re-starts the read clock to align them. The FIFO read clock stoppage signal is applied to the read clock of all FIFOs which need to be aligned and, when rate change is needed, the FIFO read clock stoppage signal suspends the read clock, causing local write and read pointers to be reset. After the FIFO read clock stoppage signal is de-asserted, the read clock starts to all FIFOs concurrently, thereby aligning the channels.

    摘要: In described embodiments, a receiver includes a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit with a voltage control oscillator (VCO) having proportional and integral loop control, and a Lock to Reference (L2R) mode circuit using Phase and Frequency Detector (PFD) control of the VCO during the absence of input data to the CDR. A regular CDR second order loop incorporating PFD control of the VCO during the absence of input data to the CDR achieves relatively rapid lock to reference when compared to counter-based lock to reference mode of operation.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for a clock phase generator for CDR data sampling that generates early and/or late sampling clocks, relative to ideal transition and sample points. An early sampling clock is generated by generating a plurality of transition and data sampling clock signals having a substantially uniform phase separation; and delaying at least one of the transition clock signals to generate one or more early clock signals. A late sampling clock is generated by generating a plurality of transition and data sampling clock signals having a substantially uniform phase separation; and delaying at least one of the data sampling clock signals to generate one or more late clock signals. The early clock signals can be employed, for example, in a threshold-based decision feedback equalizer. The late clock signals can be employed, for example, in a classical decision feedback equalizer.

    摘要: A two-wheeled vehicle comprising a frame, a pair of wheels, and a pedal assembly. The pedal assembly has a sprocket, right crank arm assembly and a left crank arm assembly (the crank arm assemblies include pedals), wherein at least one of the two crank arm assemblies comprises an outer member and an inner member, typically, the inner member being cylindrical at least partially telescopically received in the outer member. Typically one of the inner or outer member is moveable, telescopically between a retracted locked, fixed position and an extended locked, fixed position. In the extended position, the two members lock with respect to each other and allow the bicycle or other two-wheeled vehicle to lay adjacent the support surface on the removed end of the extended member, which extended member typically contains the pedal portion of the pedal assembly.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting a loss of lock condition in a clock and data recovery system. A loss of lock condition is detected in a clock and data recovery system that generates a recovered clock signal from a received signal by sampling the received signal for a plurality of different phases using one or more latches clocked by the recovered clock; evaluating the samples to monitor a data eye associated with the received signal; and detecting the loss of lock condition if the data eye does not satisfy one or more predefined conditions. Generally, the predefined conditions identify a loss of the data eye (e.g., when the data eye cannot be substantially detected), for example, based on a degree of opening of the data eye. The clock and data recovery system can optionally be restarted if the loss of lock condition is detected.

    摘要: A conventional serial communications protocol that is limited to supporting only host-to-slave communications, such as SATA or SAS, is extended to support peer-to-peer communications, e.g., by adding a memory-map layer into the conventional protocol stack between the link layer and the protocol layer. The addition of the memory-map layer enables two (or more) non-host devices (i.e., peer devices) to communicate with one another without using a host computer and without relying on conventional protocol-bridging techniques.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for decision-feedback equalization with global minimum convergence. A threshold position of one or more DFE latches employed by a decision-feedback equalizer is determined by obtaining a plurality of samples of a single-sided data eye using at least one decision latch and at least one roaming latch; comparing the samples obtained by the at least one decision latch and at least one roaming latch to identify an upper and lower voltage boundary of the single-sided data eye; and determining a threshold position of the one or more DFE latches based on the upper and lower voltage boundaries. The comparison can optionally comprise obtaining an exclusive or (XOR) of the samples obtained by the at least one decision latch and at least one roaming latch. The XOR comparison positions an opening for the single-sided data eye at a zero hit count.

    摘要: Disclosed is a circuit that adjusts a characteristic of a signal transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver over a communication channel (e.g., a wire, a backplane, etc.). The circuit includes a latch that receives the signal at a predetermined point in the circuit and samples a voltage of the signal many times after a threshold voltage is applied to the latch. The circuit also includes a processor that determines the characteristic of the signal when the sampled voltages indicate a transition point and that adjusts the threshold voltage when the sampled voltages do not indicate a transition point. The processor adjusts the characteristic of the signal by adjusting at least one of a current and a voltage of the transmitter when the characteristic of the signal is outside a predetermined range.
