    摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus for transferring data from a device's input clock domain to a core clock domain. One example achieves this by using a retiming element between input and core circuits. The retiming element is calibrated by incrementally sweeping a delay and receiving data at each increment. Minimum and maximum delays where data is received without errors are averaged. This average can then be used to adjust the timing of a circuit element inserted in an input path between an input register clocked by an input strobe signal and an output register clocked by a core clock signal. In one example, an input signal may be delayed by an amount corresponding to the delay setting. In other examples, each input signal is registered using an intermediate register between the input register and the output register, where a clock signal is delayed by an amount corresponding to the delay setting.

    摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide the calibration of input and output circuits for a high-speed memory interface. Timing errors caused by the fly-by routing of a clock signal provided by the memory interface are calibrated for both read and write paths. This includes adjusting read and write DQS signal timing for each DQ/DQS group, as well as inserting or bypassing registers when timing errors are more than one clock cycle. Timing skew caused by trace and driver mismatches between CK, DQ, and DQS signals are compensated for. One or more of these calibrations may be updated by a tracking routine during device operation.

    摘要: An integrated circuit device may include processing circuits that can be dynamically reconfigured to perform different tasks each of which utilizes different system clock resources. The device may include clock selection circuitry that can selectively route desired clock signals to corresponding processing circuits. The clock signal provided to each processing circuit may be selected based on a current configuration of that processing circuit. Client processing circuits in a network switch may be coupled to interchangeable client networks. The client processing circuits may be dynamically reconfigured based on characteristics of the client networks that are currently coupled to the network switch. By dynamically selecting which clock resources are provided to the processing circuits, clock resources such as global clock signals that are relatively scarce may be reserved for processing circuits that can only function with the relatively scarce clock resources. Arranged in this way, clock resource utilization may be continuously optimized.

    摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that isolate an input register from spurious transitions on a DQS signal. One example receives an enable signal from a core. A logic circuit, which may be referred to as a one-half period circuit, shortens enable pulses at their front end by one-half a period. The shortened enable signal is passed to a storage element such as a register. Active pulses of the shortened enable signal clear the register, which provides a control signal closing a switch, such as an AND gate. The switch passes the DQS signal to the input register when closed and isolates the input register from the DQS signal when open. The shortened enable signal prevents the switch from opening early and passing spurious transitions on the DQS signal, for example during back-to-back non-consecutive read cycles.

    摘要: I/O blocks include input, output, and output enable circuits for interfacing with memory devices. The input circuit includes registers for capturing a double data rate signal, converting it into single data rate signals, and resynchronizing the single data rate signals. Multiple devices may be accessible with each device potentially having a different clock signal for resynchronizing. Another clock signal may be used to align/synchronize resulting signals from multiple devices. The resynchronized single rate signals can be converted into half-rate data signals, and the four half-rate data signals can be provided to resources in the programmable device core. The input circuit also may provide a half-rate clock signal synchronized with the half-rate data signals to the programmable device core. The half rate clock signal can be derived from the full-rate clock signal using a data strobe signal, a full-rate clock signal, or a half-rate clock signal as an input.
