    摘要: Methods and apparatus for adjusting the operation of a display device so as to be at least within prescribed form factor or other constraints. In one embodiment of the invention, various operational parameters for a display element are adjusted based on considerations specific to high density form factor constraints. For example, in one such device, a Low Power DisplayPort (LPDP) device having a LPDP source and sink adjust the data rate of the visual data to minimize power consumption while still properly supporting display panel resolutions. In some embodiments, the LPDP source and sink may adjust the transceiver voltages to minimize power consumption. In an alternate embodiment, an LPDP device adjusts data rates to minimize the effects of platform noise. In another aspect of the invention, various display elements of a device coordinate quiescent (“quiet”) mode operation during periods of inactivity.

    摘要: An electronic device may contain clock circuits, transmitters, and other circuits that serve as sources of noise signals. The noise signals may be characterized by a noise spectrum. The noise spectrum produced by a noise source can be adjusted by adjusting spread spectrum clock circuitry in a clock circuit, by adjusting data scrambling circuitry in a transmitter circuit, or by making other dynamic adjustments to the circuitry of the electronic device. During operation of the electronic device, sensitive circuitry in the device such as wireless receiver circuitry may be adversely affected by the presence of noise from a noise source in the device. Based on information such as which receiver bands and/or channels are being actively received and target sensitivity levels for the receiver circuitry, control circuitry within the electronic device can determine in real time how to minimize interference between the noise source and the wireless receiver circuitry.

A first lane circuit (220b) is coupled to the clock root circuit and configured to receive the clock tree signal and a select signal for selecting a clock signal for a first interface circuit. A second lane circuit (220a) is coupled to the first lane circuit and configured to receive the clock tree signal and a select signal for selecting a clock signal for a second interface circuit. In one embodiment, each lane circuit includes a buffer (222) configured to receive the clock tree signal and a multiplexer (228) configured to selectively deliver the clock tree signal to the interface circuit. Advantages of the invention include a modular construction of a communication interface having low clock skew.

    摘要: There is a clock recovery circuit to correct the timing relationship between a data signal and clock signal. The clock recovery circuit comprises a phase detector having an input for receiving a clock signal having a period, an input for receiving a data signal, and an input for receiving a window signal. The window signal has a period equal to the period of the clock signal and phase difference of −90° with respect to the clock signal. The phase detector generates an up output and a down output while maintaining a phase relationship of the up output and the down output in response to the phase relationship between the clock signal and the data signal.

    摘要: A method of testing a data transmission and reception system comprises sending a test signal from a transmitter (14) of the system to a receiver (12) of the system, and analyzing the received signal. A duty cycle relationship is varied between the test signal and the timing signal used by the receiver of the system, and the effect of the duty cycle variation is analyzed. Varying the duty cycle relationship provides duty cycle distortion (DCD), and this can be considered as a form of embedded jitter insertion. This type of jitter can be measured relatively easily.

    摘要: A multi-bit, programmable, modular digital frequency divider divides an input frequency by an m-bit integer divisor to produce an output frequency. The integer divisor re-initializes m-number of flip-flop stages with the divisor input at the end of every output clock. Each divisor bit is gated to a D-input through a respective data multiplexer controlled by a clock output. A run/initialize mode controller receives the input frequency and produces the divided output frequency and controls the timing of the re-initialization.
