    摘要: A decision feedback equalizer (DFE) comprises two charge-steering (CS) input latches driven by complementary ½-rate clocks, two pairs of CS primary latches, and two pairs of taps. The primary latches are driven by ¼-rate clocks. In a first aspect, each one of the input latches and the primary latches includes a respective differential pair of n-channel output transistors, and each tap includes a respective differential pair of p-channel input transistors. In a second aspect, each one of the input latches and the primary latches includes a respective differential pair of p-channel input transistors, and each tap includes a respective differential pair of n-channel output transistors. In some implementations, no element of any one of the taps is driven by any ½-rate clock. In some implementations, every switch of at least one of the taps is driven by one of the ¼-rate clocks.

    摘要: A method and system for multiplexing a plurality of serialized data signals in which a first integrated circuit device generates a plurality of serialized data signals. A second integrated circuit device is in electrical communication with the first integrated circuit device. The second integrated circuit device includes a multiplexer operable to generate a multiplexed output signal from the plurality of serialized data signals received from the first integrated circuit. A phase data and byte snapshot back channel is transmitted from the second integrated circuit device to the first integrated circuit device. The phase data and byte snapshot back channel carries phase data and periodic snapshots of the serialized data signals. The phase data and byte snapshot back channel is used by the first integrated circuit device to adjust the phase of each of the plurality of serialized data signals to preserve bit and byte alignment. Such a method and system can be implemented as a 4×10 Gbit/Sec. system that is multiplexed to a 40 Gbit/Sec. stream as may be used in optical transmission systems.

    摘要: A controlled switch having N inputs and a single output (N≥2) is switchable between N states. In each state a respective one of the inputs is connected to the single output. There are N sources of sub-streams of analog samples, each sub-stream composed of pairs of adjacent analog samples. Each source is coupled to a respective one of the inputs. In operation, the controlled switch is controlled by a control signal to switch between the N states. While the controlled switch is in any one of the states, a data transition occurs between two adjacent analog samples in the sub-stream whose source is coupled to the input that is connected to the single output. The single output yields the high-bandwidth analog signal. Any pair of adjacent analog samples in any one of the sub-streams substantially determines a corresponding pair of adjacent analog samples in the high-bandwidth analog signal.

    摘要: A decision feedback equalizer (DFE) comprises four charge-steering (CS) primary latches and four primary taps. Two of the four CS primary latches are driven by complementary in-phase quarter-rate clocks and the other two of the four CS primary latches are driven by complementary quadrature quarter-rate clocks. No element of the DFE is driven by any half-rate clocks. In some implementations, each of the primary latches including a respective differential pair of n-channel output transistors and each primary tap includes a respective differential pair of p-channel input transistors connected via their gate nodes to a respective one of the four CS primary latches. In other implementations, each of the primary latches including a respective differential pair of p-channel input transistors and each primary tap includes a respective differential pair of n-channel output transistors connected via their gate nodes to a respective one of the four CS primary latches.

    摘要: A method and system for multiplexing data signals is provided. A first circuit is operable to generate a plurality of serialized data signals and is operable to adjust a phase of at least one of the serialized data signals to adjust bit and byte alignment. A second circuit is coupled to the first circuit to receive the plurality of serialized data signals from the first circuit. The second circuit has a multiplexer operable to generate a multiplexed output signal from the received serialized data signals. The first circuit is further coupled to the second circuit by a back channel operable to carry information regarding bit alignment and byte alignment of the received serialized data signals.
