    摘要: A serial link receiver comprises first and second input terminals for receiving positive and negative inputs of a serial data signal, first and second broadband matching T-coils coupled to the first and second input terminals, first and second AC/DC coupling networks coupled to the first and second broadband matching T-coils, and a common mode level shifter coupled to the outputs from the first and second AC/DC coupling networks. This receiver architecture combines the ability to have a wide bandwidth input and pass through data signals at both low and high frequencies. This AC and DC coupled front end also incorporates the feature of a common mode level shifting network to place the common mode of the signal at the optimum point for the first active amplifier stage.

    摘要: Disclosed are a receiver circuit, method and design architecture of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) Clock-And-Data Recovery (CDR) architecture that utilizes/produces one sample-per-bit in the receiver and reduces bit-error-rate (BER). An integrating receiver is combined with a decision feedback equalizer along with the appropriate (CDR) loop phase detector to maintain a single sample per bit requirement. The incoming voltage is converted to a current and connected to a current summing node. Weighted currents determined by the values of previously detected bits and their respective feedback coefficients are also connected to this node. Additionally, the summed currents is integrated and converted to a voltage. A sampler is utilized to make a bit decision based on the resulting voltage. After sampling, the integrator is reset before analysis of the next bit. The necessary amplification is achieved by maximizing the sensitivity of the latch, using integration in front of the data latch.

    摘要: A method and system for determining the eye pattern margin parameters of a receiver system during diagnostic testing is presented. The circuitry in the receiver's front end comprises a series of latches, XOR gates and OR gates which first provide the data samples and edge samples, i.e., data sampled at the rising or falling edge of an (edge) clock characterized by a phase delay relative to the data sampling clock. The receiver also comprises optimization circuitry for the ideal alignment of the edge clock (edges) with the data edges. The method further provides for a phase shifting of the edge clock to the left and right from the ideal/locked position to screen the data eye pattern in order to compute the Bit Error Rate (BER) value. The position of the edge clock relative to the data sampling clock determines the horizontal eye opening for the computed BER.

    摘要: A sequence of K voltage samples of a transmitted data signal is generated by sampling, digitizing, and storing voltage samples of the data signal with an imbedded sample clock on an IC having an unknown period TS. The K voltage samples are plotted against a time base of K sequential times TB[K] normalized so all samples fall within one cycle of the data clock used to generate the data signal or a unit time of 1. The time base is generated by estimating the sample clock period TSE to be some multiple of 1/P where P is greater than K. Eye diagrams are analyzed for time jitter wherein only the minimum value of jitter is saved. TSE is incremented by 1/P until TS is greater than one half the data clock period. The eye diagram at the TSE with the minimum time jitter is used to analyze the data channels.

    摘要: A circuit having a precision passive circuit element, such as a resistor or a capacitor, with a target value of an electrical parameter is fabricated on a substrate with a plurality of independent parallel-connected passive circuit elements. The plurality of passive circuit elements are designed to have a plurality of values of the electrical parameter which are spaced or offset at or around the target value of the electrical parameter, such as three circuit elements with one having a value at the target value, one having a value above the target value, and one having a value below the target value. Each passive circuit element also has a fuse in series therewith. A reference calibration structure is also fabricated, which can be a passive circuit element having the target value of the electrical parameter, in a reference area of the substrate under the same conditions and at the same time as fabrication of the plurality of passive circuit elements. The actual component value of the reference calibration structure is then measured, and based upon the measurement a single precision passive element of the plurality of parallel passive circuit elements is selected by blowing the fuses of, and thus deselecting, the other independent parallel connected passive circuit elements.
