    摘要: A device (102) implements data reception with edge-based partial response decision feedback equalization. In an example embodiment, the device implements a tap weight adapter circuit (114) that sets the tap weights that are used for adjustment of a received data signal (104). The tap weight adapter circuit (119) sets the tap weights based on previously determined data values and input from an edge analysis of the received data signal using a set of edge samplers. The edge analysis (116) may include adjusting the sampled data signal by the tap weights determined by the tap weight adapter circuit. A clock generation circuit (220) generates an edge clock signal to control the edge sampling performed by the set of edge samplers. The edge clock signal may be generated as a function of the signals of the edge samplers and prior data values determined by the equalizer.

    摘要: A phase detection circuit can include two phase detectors that each generate a non-zero output in response to input signals being aligned in phase. The input signals are based on two periodic signals. The phase detection circuit subtracts the output signal of one phase detector from the output signal of the other phase detector to generate a signal having a zero value when the periodic signals are in phase. Alternatively, a phase detector generates a phase comparison signal indicative of a phase difference between periodic signals. The phase comparison signal has a non-zero value in response to input signals to the phase detector being aligned in phase. The input signals are based on the periodic signals. An output circuit receives the phase comparison signal and generates an output having a zero value in response to the periodic signals being aligned in phase.

    摘要: A signal distribution network has segments that each have a buffer circuit, a transmission line coupled to the buffer circuit, an inductor coupled to the buffer circuit through the transmission line, and a variable capacitance circuit coupled to the inductor and coupled to the buffer circuit through the transmission line. A capacitance of the variable capacitance circuit is set to determine a phase and an amplitude of a signal transmitted through the transmission line. A signal distribution network can include a phase detector, a loop filter circuit, and a resonant delay circuit. The phase detector compares a phase of a first periodic signal to a phase of a second periodic signal. The resonant delay circuit has a variable impedance circuit having an impedance that varies based on changes in an output signal of the loop filter circuit.

    摘要: A driver supports differential and single-ended signaling modes. Complementary transistors with a common tail node are provided with complementary input signals in the differential mode. A current source coupled to the tail node maintains a relatively high tail impedance and a constant tail current in the differential mode. The tail node is set to a low impedance in single-ended modes to decouple the two transistors, allowing them to amplify uncorrelated input signals. The current source thaws multiple current levels in the single-ended mode to compensate for changes in tail current that result from changes in the relative values of the uncorrelated data in the single-ended modes. A termination block provides termination resistance in the differential mode, pull-up transistors in a single-ended mode that employs push-pull drivers, and is omitted in a single-ended mode that lacks driver-side termination.

    摘要: A differential signal receiver 106 implements intra-pair skew compensation for improving data transfer on a differential channel. In an embodiment, the receiver implements sampling by—multiple clocks with different phases such that the signals of the differential channel may be separately or individually time adjusted to account for skew between them so that they may be differentially compared for data resolution. In one embodiment, a positive sampler and negative sampler are controlled by distinct clock signals to permit, at different times, sampling and holding of the positive and negative signals representing a data bit on the differential channel. A differential decision circuit may then differentially resolve the data using a latter one of the distinct clock signals. Timing generation circuitry for producing the offset clocks may include a skew detector that permits dynamic adjustment of the different clock signals according to skew associated with the signals of the differential channel.
