Abstract:
In a transceiver system a first interface receives data from a first channel using a first clock signal and transmits data to the first channel using a second clock signal. A second interface receives data from a second channel using a third clock signal and transmits data to the second channel using a fourth clock signal. A re-timer re-times data received from the first channel using the first clock signal and retransmits the data to the second channel using the fourth clock signal.

Abstract:
An integrated circuit is described. The integrated circuit includes an interface circuit that includes a transmitter and a receiver. A generator in the integrated circuit is selectively coupled to the transmitter. The generator is to provide a test sequence that is output by the transmitter during a test mode of operation. A memory in the integrated circuit is selectively coupled to the generator and the receiver. The memory is to receive and synchronize the test sequence and a signal corresponding to the test sequence that is received by the receiver. A logic circuit in the integrated circuit is to compare the test sequence and the signal.

Abstract:
A circuit includes a first node having a first variable voltage and a second node having a second variable voltage. A clock signal generates the first variable and second variable voltages. A first transistor is coupled to the first node and provides a first current responsive to a first control voltage being applied to the first transistor gate. A second transistor is coupled to the second node and provides a second current responsive to a second control voltage being applied to the second transistor gate. A first control circuit is coupled to the first transistor gate and the second node. The first control circuit provides the first control voltage responsive to the first variable voltage. A second control circuit is coupled to the second transistor gate and the first node. The second control circuit provides the second control voltage responsive to the second variable voltage. The first and second currents are used to provide a duty cycle correction signal.

Abstract:
A transceiver device comprises a transmitter to transmit signals over a plurality of conductors to a memory device. An interface receives control information from a serial communication path coupled to a controller device. The control information is provided to the memory device as the signals using the transmitter. A register stores a control parameter that specifies a drive strength adjustment to the signals to transmit over the plurality of conductors to the memory device using the transmitter.
Abstract:
A transceiver system is described. A secondary memory module is coupled to a primary channel for receiving data and signals from a controller. The secondary memory module comprises a memory and a secondary channel for transmitting the data and control signals to the memory. The secondary memory module further comprises a transceiver coupled to the primary channel and the secondary channel. The transceiver is designed to electrically isolate the secondary channel from the primary channel. The transceiver is a low latency repeater to permit the data and the control signals from the controller to reach the memory, such that a latency of a data request from the controller is independent of a distance of the transceiver from the controller.
