    摘要: A QAM data signal timing recovery loop feedback element provides a fixed sampling time offset adjustment to two continuously variable digital rate interpolators/decimators to produce a quadrature output stream at a programmed rational rate multiple of the actual baud rate of the received data signal. The continuously variable digital rate interpolators/decimators are configured at startup so as to produce output streams at the same programmed rational rate multiple of the nominal baud rate of the anticipated received data signal, assuming the fs sample timing offset adjustment stream provided by the timing recovery feedback element to be identically 0. The “nominal” fixed sampling rate fs of the received analog input signal need not be rationally related to the nominal baud rate of the anticipated received data signal.

    摘要: An instruction clock of a processing unit in a low power mode in accordance with the principles of the present invention is qualified with a burst mode control signal. The burst mode control signal is allowed to start and stop the instruction flow of the relevant processing unit. In the disclosed embodiment, a master clock signal is qualified by a clock control circuit to provide bursts of an instruction clock signal to the relevant processing unit. To operate the burst instruction cycle control unit, a user pre-programs a burst length, into a register to set the length of the burst of instruction cycles to the relevant processing unit. A maximum counter value in a counter sets the period of the instruction cycle bursts provided to the relevant processing unit. As long as the current value of the counter is less than or equal to the pre-programmed burst length, the burst control signal allows a clock controller to pass a master clock signal or other relevant clock signal as an instruction clock signal to the relevant processing unit. The low power burst mode and thus the power savings is adjustable according to the combined values of burst length and maximum counter value.

    摘要: Memory banks are assigned to the memory map of a common processor in an order corresponding to a physical characteristic of the respective memory bank, e.g., a physical distance to the processor and/or an electrical distance to the processor. In this way, the operating frequency of the processor can be increased beyond conventionally guaranteed limits at the expense of abandoning the farthest memory banks when not necessary for a particular application. Similarly, abandonment of the farther memory banks in accordance with the principles of the present invention allows operation of the processing system at higher temperatures and/or lower power voltages. In another embodiment of the present invention, wait states may be added to accesses to the farther memory banks such that the closest memory banks may be operated at the highest possible performance level, e.g., without any wait states. The performance of the individual memory banks may be monitored and a wait state table adjusted to adjust to environmental conditions such as temperature and/or power voltage.

    摘要: One aspect of the present invention provides a packer-unpacker (PUP) for a digital serial interface which allows a plurality of processors to access time slot registers of a serial data stream relating to the digital serial interface. A configuration register is maintained either by one of the plurality of processors or by each of the processors to arbitrate access to the individual time slot registers. Another aspect of the invention allows one or more processors to efficiently access and/or write more bits to a resource such as a time slot register than the width of the processor's respective data bus allows. Extra bits registers are maintained for at least one of the read and write direction data busses. The extra bits correspond to the least significant bits conventionally ignored in changing from a data bus of one width to a data bus of a narrower width. The extra bits in the write direction are accessed, e.g., by a write to a write direction extra bits register addressable through a specific input/output (I/O) location. The extra bits are tacked on to a subsequent write cycle in the digital serial interface, e.g., in the AC '97 link, to write an excess length data word.

    摘要: A television signal receiver for processing an HDTV signal transmitted in a vestigial sideband (VSB) format includes input complex filters shared by a timing recovery network (30) and a carrier recovery network (50). The filter network includes a pair of upper and lower band edge filters (20, 22) mirror imaged around the upper and lower band edges of the VSB signal for producing suppressed subcarrier AM output signals. The timing recovery network includes a phase detector (28, 38, 62) and responds to an AM signal derived from the two filters (via 26) for synchronizing a system clock (CLK). The carrier recovery network (50) also includes a phase detector (54, 60, 62, 64), and responds to outputs from one or both of the filters for producing an output error signal (.DELTA.) representing a phase/frequency offset of the VSB signal. The error signal is used to reduce or eliminate the offset to produce a recovered baseband or near baseband signal. A subsequent equalizer eliminates any residual phase offsets in the recovered signal.

    摘要: For a modem receiver using an adaptive equalizer with fractional tap spacing, method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling the sample-timing phase. By evaluating bandedge components of the received signal in a particular way, a timing-phase vector signal is derived which is independent of the signal energy at the bandedges and of the quality of frequency separation of the filters for the bandedge signals. After an initial period, the current timing-phase vector signal is captured and stored as a reference. Thereafter, the sampling phase of the receiver is kept at its initial random value, represented by the stored reference timing-phase vector. The necessity to initially change the sampling phase in the receiver to a value which is forced by the received signal is avoided.
