    摘要: A system and method are provided for resynchronizing a transmission signal using a jitter-attenuated clock derived from an asynchronous gapped clock. A first-in first-out (FIFO) memory accepts an asynchronous gapped clock derived from a first clock having a first frequency. The gapped clock has an average second frequency less than the first frequency. The input serial stream of data is loaded at a rate responsive to the gapped clock. A dynamic numerator (DN) and dynamic denominator (DD) are iteratively calculated for the gapped clock, averaged, and an averaged numerator (A and an averaged denominator (AD) are generated. The first frequency is multiplied by the ratio of AN/AD to create a jitter-attenuated second clock having the second frequency. The FIFO memory accepts the jitter-attenuated second clock and supplies data from memory at the second frequency. A framer accepts the data from the FIFO memory and the jitter-attenuated second clock.

    摘要: A digital phase-locked loop (DPLL), a supporting digital frequency integrator, and a method are provided for deriving a digital phase error signal in a DPLL. A digital frequency integrator periodically accepts a digital tdcOUT message from a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) representing a measured ratio of a reference clock (Tref) period to a synthesizer clock (Tdco) period. Also accepted is a digital message selecting a first ratio (Nf). In response, a digital phase error (pherr) message is periodically supplied that is proportional to an error in phase between the reference clock and the (synthesizer clock*Nf).

    摘要: A system and method are provided for frequency lock detection using a digital phase error. A lock detection module accepts a digital phase error (pherr) message proportional to an error in phase between a reference clock and a (synthesizer clock*Nf). Also accepted is a unitless frequency error tolerance value (Δf). The lock detection module periodically supplies a lock detect signal, indicating whether the synthesizer clock frequency is within the frequency error tolerance value of the reference clock frequency.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for detecting the frequency acquisition of a synthesized signal in a non-synchronous communications receiver. The method accepts a non-synchronous communication signal having an input data signaling frequency, and compares the input data signaling frequency to a synthesized signal frequency. In response to the comparing, a difference signal pulse is generated. More explicitly, the difference signal is generated at a rate responsive to the difference between the input data signaling frequency and the synthesized signal frequency. The method counts synthesized signal pulses occurring simultaneously with the difference signal pulse. If the counted synthesized signal pulses exceed a threshold (before the disappearance of the difference signal pulse), it is determined that the input data signaling frequency is about equal to the synthesized signal frequency, and a lock signal is generated.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for automatic frequency acquisition maintenance in a clock and data recovery (CDR) device. In an automatic frequency acquisition (AFA) mode, the method uses a phase detector (PHD) to acquire the phase of a non-synchronous input communication signal having an initial first frequency. In the event of a loss of lock/loss of signal (LOL/LOS) signal being asserted, a frequency ratio value is retrieved from memory. Using a phase-frequency detector (PFD), the reference signal, and the frequency ratio value, a synthesized signal is generated. In response to using the PFD to generate the synthesized signal and the LOL/LOS signal being deasserted, a rotational frequency detector (RFD) is used to generate a synthesized signal having a frequency equal to the frequency of the input communication signal. With the continued deassertion of the LOL/LOS signal, the PHD is enabled and the phase of the input signal is acquired.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for frequency lock stability in a receiver using overlapping voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) bands. An input communication signal is accepted and an initial VCO is selected. Using a phase-locked loop (PLL) and the initial VCO, the frequency of the input communication signal is acquired and the acquired signal tuning voltage of the initial VCO is measured. Then, the initial VCO is disengaged and a plurality of adjacent band VCOs is sequentially engaged. The acquired signal tuning voltage of each VCO is measured and a final VCO is selected that is able to generate the input communication signal frequency using an acquired signal tuning voltage closest to a midpoint of a predetermined tuning voltage range.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for detecting a false clock frequency lock in a clock and data recovery (CDR) device. The method accepts a digital raw data signal at a first rate and counts edge transitions in the raw data signal, creating a raw count. A clock signal is also accepted at a second rate. The clock signal is a timing reference recovered from the raw data signal. The raw data signal is sampled at a rate responsive to the clock signal, generating a sampled signal. Edge transitions are counted in the sampled signal, creating a sampled count. Then, the raw count is compared to the sampled count, to determine if the first rate is equal to the second rate. The method is used to determine if the second rate is less than the first rate—to detect if the clock signal is incorrectly locked to the first rate.
