摘要： In described embodiments, a clock alignment system with a digital bang-bang phase detector (BBPD) employs digitally implemented hysteresis. A first BBPD is employed for a phase control loop that compares the phases from two different clock domain sources, where one clock domain source is used as a reference clock for the phase control loop. A second BBPD with delayed reference clock is employed to resolve ambiguous phase relations seen by the first BBPD. An initial state of a BBPD vector, defined as a vector of current values of the first BBPD and the second BBPD, is examined. Based on the initial and subsequent states of the BBPD vector, the non-reference clock is permitted to naturally move to a lock state through action of the phase control loop, or forced to have its phase rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to reach the lock state.

摘要： A system and method for generating a spread spectrum clock signal with a constant ppm offset as a function of a repetition number. A phase interpolator can be configured in association with of a phase-locked loop circuit in order to provide a phase movement from a bit clock generated by the PLL circuit. A repetition number divider computes the repetition number for each time slot in a piece-wise SSC modulation profile. A noise shaping modulator can be employed for modulating a fractional part associated with the repetition number. A repetition counter and a phase accumulator receives an integer part of the repetition number and counts unit interval clock periods equal to a sum of integer and the sigma-delta modulated fractional parts of the repetition number. The phase accumulator can be incremented and/or decremented based on the sign of the spread spectrum direction.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for improving the performance of second order CDR systems. The integral state of the CDR system is initialized to a value that is based on an expected frequency profile that may be known a priori for certain applications. One or more quality of lock (QOL) metrics are also monitored that are derived from the integral register state value. A quality of a locking between a received signal and a local clock generated by a Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) system is evaluated by monitoring a state value of an integral register in a digital loop filter of the CDR system; evaluating one or more predefined criteria based on the integral register state value; and identifying a poor lock condition if the one or more predefined criteria are not satisfied.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for determining the threshold position of one or more latches employed for decision-feedback equalization. A threshold position of a latch employed by a decision-feedback equalizer is determined by constraining input data such that the input data only contains transitions from a first binary value; obtaining a plurality of samples of a single-sided data eye associated with the constrained input data; and determining a threshold position of the latch based on the samples. The constrained input data can comprise (i) transitions from a binary value of 1 to a binary value of 0 or 1; or (ii) transitions from a binary value of 0 to a binary value of 0 or 1. The size of the single-sided data eye can be obtained by analyzing a histogram associated with the single-sided data eye to identify a region having a constant hit count.

摘要： A phase interpolator generates a phase-interpolated output clock signal Z from two phase-offset input clock signals A and B, where the interpolation angle of the output clock is based on a weight value W. The phase interpolator has A-side and B-side circuitry, each having (1) an array of parallel current mirrors, (2) a block of parallel switches, where each switch is connected in series with a corresponding current mirror, and (3) an encoder that controls the corresponding switches based on the weight value W. The total current through the phase interpolator varies with interpolation angle, such that, for example, the variation in output amplitude with interpolation angle is reduced. In general, individual bit values in weight value W are not used to control individual switches for all interpolation angles.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for sigma-delta delay control in a Delay-Locked-Loop that employs a delay line to generate a clock signal based on a reference signal. A first value is generated if a clock signal has a time lead relative to a reference signal; and a second value is generated if a clock signal has a time lag relative to a reference signal. The first and second values are accumulated to generate an N bit digital word; and the N bit digital word is reduced to an M bit digital word, where M is less than N. Thereafter, the M bit digital word can be converted to an analog bias signal. The reducing step can be performed, for example, by a sigma-delta modulator. The high frequency quantization noise generated by the sigma-delta modulator can be filtered using a low pass filter. The converting step can be performed by a digital-to-analog converter, such as a master/slave digital-to-analog converter.
