    摘要: On-chip calibrated source termination for voltage mode driver. An amplifier is disclosed having an internal amplifier with a first output and a second output, the first output interfaced to a non-inverting input through an interface. The second output is coupled to the first output through a series resistance element. The output impedance of the amplifier is determined by the ratio of the current drive of the first and second outputs. The voltage on said second output being a function of said interface and the current input to said internal amplifier.

    摘要: GBit/s transceiver with built-in self test features. A method is disclosed for testing the operation of a transceiver having a digital processing section and an analog section, each having a transmit portion and a receive portion, the analog portions adaptable to interface with an analog network. The transceiver is first configured to operate in a test mode. In the test mode, the transmit portion of the digital processing section is activated to generate data to be transmitted by the transmit portion of the analog section. The receive portion of the analog section and the receive portion of the digital processing section are operated to receive data. Thereafter, the parametrics of select portions of the receive portion of the digital processing section are examined during the receipt of data by the receive portion of the analog section and processing thereof by the receive portion of the digital processing section.

    摘要: Switching node regulator for sfp ethernet adaptor. A method is disclosed for regulating voltage on an integrated circuit formed on a substrate to power circuitry on the substrate. An unregulated power supply is provided as an input to the integrated circuit connected between a positive node and a reference node on the integrated circuit. Current is sourced in a first current sourcing step through drive circuitry on the substrate from the positive node to an inductor/capacitor reactive circuit external to the integrated circuit. The output of the inductor/capacitor reactive circuit comprises a filtered regulated power supply voltage that is operable to power at least a portion of the circuitry on the substrate. Current is sourced in a second current sourcing step through the drive circuitry on the substrate from the reference node to the inductor/capacitor reactive circuit when the current in the inductor is ramping down. A controller is operable to control the first and second sourcing steps to alternately source current to the inductor/capacitor reactive circuit from the positive and reference nodes. The controller is further operable to prevent substantially any current from being drawn through the substrate body during either the first current sourcing step or the second current sourcing step and delivered to the inductor/capacitor reactive circuit during ramp up or ramp down of the current in the inductor/capacitor reactive circuit and during any transition there between.

    摘要: Output driver for high speed Ethernet transceiver. A transmission line driver is disclosed for driving a transmission line in a first operating mode and in a second operating mode. The first and second operating modes operate substantially exclusive of each other. A current driver is provided for driving the transmission line in the first operating mode from a first data generator and at a first output voltage. A voltage driver is provided for driving the transmission line in the second operating mode from a second data generator at a second output voltage through a load, such that the current driver and the voltage driver operate independent of each other.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for configuring the operation of an integrated circuit. An integrated circuit with external programming capabilities is disclosed. A pin current source is provided for interfacing with at least one pin on the integrated circuit to control current flow there through to an external load interfaced to the at least one pin external to the integrated circuit. The external load has at least two discrete values. A voltage detector detects the voltage on the at least one pin and a state detector then compares the voltage on the at least one pin to at least two discrete voltage thresholds. Each of the discrete voltages is associated with a separate value of a control word, and the state detector is operable to determine the value of the control word associated with the detected voltage. The state detector then outputs the determined value of the control word.
