摘要:
A system and method of reducing skew between a plurality of signals transmitted with a transmit clock is described. Skew is detected between the received transmit clock and each of received data signals. Delay is added to the clock or to one or more of the plurality of data signals to compensate for the detected skew. The delay added to each of the plurality of delayed signals is updated to adapt to changes in detected skew.

One embodiment provides a network controller. The network controller includes physical interface (PHY) circuitry comprising transmitter circuitry configured to transmit data frames to a link partner in communication with the transmit circuitry over a channel link. The network controller also includes a link speed cycling module configured to, upon initialization of the PHY circuitry, cause the transmitter circuitry to transmit data frames to the link partner using at least one high rate link speed. The network controller also includes an equalization presets module configured to apply at least one equalization preset setting to the transmitter circuitry while the transmitter circuitry is transmitting the data frames to the link partner. The link speed module is further configured to cause the transmitter circuitry to dwell, for a transmitter dwell time period, for the at least one equalization preset setting at the at least one high rate link speed. The transmitter dwell time period is sufficient to allow the link partner to lock on to the transmitted data frames.

The present invention is directed toward a communications channel comprising a link level protocol, a driver, a receiver, and a canceller/equalizer. The link level protocol provides logic for DC-free signal encoding and recovery as well as supporting many features including CRC error detection and message resend to accommodate infrequent bit errors across the medium. The canceller/equalizer provides equalization for destabilized data signals and also provides simultaneous bi-directional data transfer. The receiver provides bit deskewing by removing synchronization error, or skewing, between data signals. The driver provides impedance controlling by monitoring the characteristics of the communications medium, like voltage or temperature, and providing a matching output impedance in the signal driver so that fewer distortions occur while the data travels across the communications medium.

An amplifier includes a first differential pair of transistors with commonly connected input electrodes also connected to a variable current sink. A common mode voltage control circuit includes a second differential pair of transistors, one of which has a control electrode coupled to the output electrodes of the first differential pair. The second differential pair provides control signals to the variable current sink to regulate the common mode output voltage. Current control circuitry is coupled to the variable current sink to allow adjustment of the gain, bandwith or power dissipation of the first differential pair.

An A/D converter which utilizes a plurality of series connected stages is disclosed. Each stage produces a single digital output bit. Errors are dynamically compensated utilizing alignment cycles. Error correction circuitry statistically analyzes an alignment signal during an alignment cycle. Various feedback paths form within each stage during an alignment cycle, and error compensation signals achieve optimum values which compensate for errors within each stage.

A demodulator for continuous phase frequency shift keyed signals is implemented through the medium of computer software and processes incoming signals which are initially passed through an interference reduction filter. The disclosed demodulation algorithm makes use of the fact that the phase is continuous between adjacent symbols, as well as other symbol to symbol correlations, to reduce the error rate by processing a string of symbols utilizing a two step symbol decision process, instead of merely demodulating a symbol from a time slice of the received signal. The two step symbol decision process consists of a forward and reverse pass, wherein a candidate symbol predecessor is recursively chosen for each symbol, according to a maximum likelihood decision criterion, on the forward pass. Once a singular candidate predecessor is encountered, a reverse pass is initiated, so that a unique sequence of symbols is chosen back to a previously encountered singular predecessor.

One embodiment provides a network controller. The network controller includes a modulation module. The modulation module includes a high rate (HR) bit sequence generator configured to generate a first high rate bit sequence, encoder circuitry configured to encode a first low rate bit stream, the first low rate bit stream comprising backchannel information, and modulation circuitry configured to modulate the encoded first low rate bit stream onto the first high rate bit sequence. The network controller further includes transmit circuitry configured to transmit the modulated first HR bit sequence to a link partner during a link initialization period.
