When a change of an output signal is detected by an output-signal-state-change detector, a continuous-change performing part controls an output impedance changing part, which is provided between an output buffer and a signal line, so as to continuously change an output impedance from low impedance to high impedance, at the changing timing of the output signal.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for eliminating or reducing local area and broad area interference in a twisted pair transmission system. The apparatus of the present invention includes a detection device, such as an antenna, for example, for detecting electromagnetic interference coupled into a twisted pair line, a sampling/scaling device which samples and scales the detected signal, and a combiner device which combines a signal correction component with the signal received over the twisted pair by a differential receiver. The sampling/scaling device preferably includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which converts the detected analog signal into a digital signal and a digital signal processor, which receives the digital signal from the ADC and processes the signal to generate a correction signal. The correction signal is then subtracted from the signal received by the differential receiver. The sampling/scaling device may be fixed or adaptive.

A pulse signal transmitting circuit generates a pulse signal having an enhanced high-frequency component with a reduced power loss. A pulse signal is transmitted to a load circuit through a transmission cable connected to a secondary winding of a transformer. First and second transistors are connected to a primary winding of the transformer. A voltage output from an external power source is input to the primary winding of the transformer when at least one of the first and second transistors is conductive so that a pulse voltage signal is input to the transformer. A booster power supply circuit is located between the external power source and a middle point of the primary winding of the transformer. The booster power supply circuit superimposes a boost voltage onto the voltage input to the primary winding of the transformer so that a high-frequency component of the pulse voltage signal input to the primary winding of the transformer is enhanced.

The present invention overcomes ISI by precompensating for the anticipated high-frequency energy losses in the transmission media. This precompensation is accomplished using a preemphasis waveform, i.e., driving the differential signal to a value larger than normal on a signal edge. Preemphasis increases the slew rate of edges inside data with a lot of transitions relative to data with fewer transitions, thereby compensating for the low-pass effects of the transmission cable. The present invention further contemplates adaptive control for ensuring that varying operating conditions do not effect preemphasis waveform generation. The first approach involves tracking the operation of a replicate driver for each main driver and adaptively controlling each main driver depending upon feedback from the replicate driver. A second approach, that is both more complicated and more effective, involves measuring the signal and the line impedance at the output of the main driver and adaptively controlling the main driver in response.

An integrated module incorporates not only a cable socket, but also a chip carrier for an integrated circuit and a daughter card for discrete components. The module can be mounted on any printed circuit board, within a switch, router, hub or other network device. A network socket, one or more integrated circuits and all discrete components (resistors, capacitors, coil, etc.) are contained within the module. The functionality of a transceiver and a media access controller are split into a digital portion and an analog portion. Each of the digital and analog functionality is implemented on a separate integrated circuit and both integrated circuits are placed next to one another in the chip carrier within the integrated module. Shielding around the socket is extended to surround the entire integrated module. The metal shielding extends underneath the integrated module and contacts the copper base of the chip carrier to serve as a heat sink. Any number of integrated modules are ganged together and a single electromagnetic shield placed around all of the integrated modules. A light pipe is used in conjunction with the socket instead of traditional light-emitting diodes. A chip carrier by itself has pins bent both downward to interface to a particular device such as computer board, network switch, hub, router, etc., and pins bent upward to attach to an above daughter card. A chip carrier also contains one or more integrated circuits and a daughter card mounted on top of the chip carrier.

In simultaneous transmission of a signal using plural transmission lines, a synchronous cycle is set, plural signals A, B, C and D are simultaneously transmitted to the plural transmission lines, and the plural signals A through D transmitted through the plural transmission lines are received. Delay times &tgr;A, &tgr;B, &tgr;C and &tgr;D of the plural signals received in the synchronous cycle are detected, and the delay times of the transmission lines are adjusted on the basis of these detected delay times so that the simultaneously output signals A through D can be simultaneously received after passing through the plural transmission lines. Accordingly, even when a delay time between signals is long with a phase shift exceeding one cycle of a clock signal, the phase shift between the signals can be adjusted to be within one cycle.

A power efficient and reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions transmitter for unshielded twisted pair (UTP) data communication applications. Transmit data is converted to a current-mode analog waveform by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A discrete-time analog filter is integrated with the DAC line driver to provide additional EMI emissions suppression. A multiplicity of output cells produce an output signal that is responsive to a plurality of digitized input data samples. A timing circuit generates timing signals for dividing each digitized input data sample into a first time segment and a second time segment. A control logic connected to each output cell generates control signals to drive each output cell to produce a portion of the output signal for the first time segment and the full output signal for the second time segment.

A transmitting apparatus of simple circuit configuration is provided as having turn off time (cut off delay time) of an output transistor shortened. The potential of a low-level signal is inputted to an input terminal of a first transistor through a resistor. The potential of a high-level signal is inputted to an input terminal of a second transistor through a resistor. A control circuit is connected to the input terminals of the first and second transistors and when a high-level signal is to be transmitted to the communication line, the control circuit enters a high-impedance state with respect to the input terminal of the first transistor and outputs a low-level signal to the input terminal of the second transistor. When a low-level signal is to be transmitted over the communication line, the control circuit outputs a high-level signal to the input terminal of the first transistor and develops a high-impedance state with respect to the input terminal of the second transistor.

Differential signaling between integrated circuit chips uses fewer than 2 external wires per bit transmitted. Rather than pairing wires into groups of two, the external wires are part of a larger group of 2i+2 wires. Half of the wires in the group are driven low while the other half of the wires are driven high. Since the wires are not paired, adjacent wires can have the same logical state. Differential comparators in the receiver chip compare each wire with all other wires in the group. All outputs of comparators that have a wire as one of its two inputs are input to a majority logic block that evaluates the logical state of the wire. Since half of the wires are in one state, the majority of the remaining wires are in the opposite state of the wire being evaluated. Thus the majority of the comparator outputs indicate the opposite state of the wire being evaluated. Each of the external wires is evaluated by differential comparators and majority logic to get the logical states of each of the external wires. Codes having equal numbers of high and low wires are used to encode binary data over the external wires. Eight external wires can encode a 6-bit binary value, which is 1.5 wires per bit using the (2i+2)-wire codes.
