    摘要: A programmable logic device (“PLD”) or the like has a plurality of data transmitter channels. Certain circuitry is shared by the channels. The shared circuitry includes at least one phase-locked loop (“PLL”) circuit for producing a primary clock signal, and global frequency divider circuitry for producing at least one global secondary clock signal based on the primary signal. The primary and global secondary signal(s) are distributed to the channels. Each of the channels includes local frequency divider circuitry for producing at least one local secondary clock signal based on the primary signal. Each channel also includes selection circuitry for selecting either the global or local secondary signal(s) for use by clock utilization circuitry of the channel. The clock utilization circuitry may include serializer circuitry for converting data from parallel to serial form.

    摘要: A programmable logic device includes, in addition to the usual regions of programmable logic and the programmable interconnect, at least one region of memory which has multiple independently usable write and/or read ports (e.g., two write ports and two read ports). Every memory cell in the memory region is accessible from any of these ports. This enables the memory region to be used to provide either one relatively large memory or two somewhat smaller memories, each occupying a fraction of the full memory. In the latter case, the two memories provided can have any of many different sizes relative to one another. Many different modes or combinations of modes of operating the memory region or parts of the memory region are possible.

    摘要: An integrated circuit like a programmable logic device (“PLD”) includes multiple channels of data communication circuitry. Circuitry is provided for selectively sharing signals (e.g., control-type signals) among these channels in groupings of various size so that the device can better support communication protocols that require various numbers of channels (e.g., one channel operating relatively independently, four channels working together, eight channels working together, etc.). The signals shared may include a clock signal, a FIFO write enable signal, a FIFO read enable signal, or the like. The circuit arrangements are preferably modular (i.e., the same or substantially the same from one channel to the next and/or from one group of channels to the next) to facilitate such things as circuit design and verification.

    摘要: Serial data signal receiver circuitry for inclusion on a PLD includes a plurality of equalizer circuits that are connected in series and that are individually controllable so that collectively they can compensate for a wide range of possible input signal attenuation characteristics. Other circuit features may be connected in relation to the equalizer circuits to give the receiver circuitry other capabilities. For example, these other features may include various types of loop-back test circuits, controllable termination resistance, controllable common mode voltage, and a controllable threshold for detection of an input signal. Various aspects of control of the receiver circuitry may be programmable.

    摘要: Data signals transmitted over transmission media suffer from attenuation caused by the transmission media. Equalization circuitry may be provided to compensate for attenuation caused by the transmission media. Equalization circuitry may include multiple stages arranged in series to allow the frequency responses of the stages to aggregate together. Each stage may be programmable to insert a zero, which causes the frequency response of the stage to increase in magnitude by 20 dB/decade. The frequency location of the zero may also be programmable to allow each stage to contribute a certain amount of gain for a specific frequency. Each stage may also be programmable to determine the location of poles for reduction of high frequency noise and cross-talk cancellation.
