    摘要: A transmitter that includes a first phase locked loop (PLL) and a second PLL coupled to the first PLL is described. In one implementation, the first PLL is an inductance-capacitance (LC) type PLL and the second PLL is a ring type PLL. Also, in one embodiment, the transmitter further includes a PLL selection multiplexer coupled to the first and second PLLs, where the PLL selection multiplexer receives an output of the first PLL and an output of the second PLL and outputs either the output of the first PLL or the output of the second PLL. In one implementation, a control signal for controlling selection by the PLL selection multiplexer is programmable at runtime. In one implementation, the transmitter of the present invention further includes a clock generation block coupled to the PLL selection multiplexer, a serializer block coupled to the clock generation block and a transmit driver block coupled to the serializer block. In one embodiment, the transmit driver block includes only one post-tap pre-driver and only one main-tap pre-driver. The transmitter of the present invention is capable of operating in a wide range mode or a low jitter mode by selecting the appropriate PLL. In wide range mode, a wider frequency range is desirable. On the other hand, in low jitter mode, a low jitter is desirable.

    摘要: Signal detection circuitry for a serial interface oversamples the input—i.e., samples the input multiple times per clock cycle—so that the likelihood of missing a signal is reduced. Sampling may be done with a regenerative latch which has a large bandwidth and can latch a signal at high speed. The amplitude threshold for detection may be programmable, particularly in a programmable device. Thus, between the use of a regenerative latch which is likely to catch any signal that might be present, and the use of oversampling to avoid the problem of sampling at the wrong time, the likelihood of failing to detect a signal is greatly diminished. Logic, such as a state machine, may be used to determine whether the samples captured s do or do not represent a signal. That logic may be programmable, allowing a user to set various parameters for signal detection.

    摘要: Transmitter driver circuitry for outputting a high-speed serial data signal (e.g., in the range of about 10 gigabits per second or higher) includes H-tree driver circuitry having only a main driver stage and a post-tap driver stage. At least one transistor in the H-tree driver circuitry is constructed and connected to provide electrostatic discharge protection. PMOS and NMOS current sources are used for the H-tree driver circuitry to enhance power supply noise rejection.
