    摘要: An apparatus for compensating for the effects of resonance in an integrated circuit's power distribution network is provided. A resonance detector monitors transmissions from the integrated circuit for certain bit patterns that may excite the power distribution network at a specific frequency and cause power supply resonance. Power supply resonance causes an increase in power supply impedance. When offending transmissions are detected, the resonance detector activates a damping element on the integrated circuit which dampens the resonance. The damping element is a resistive device between two power supply lines that decreases power supply impedance when activated.

    摘要: An apparatus for canceling an effect of power supply resonance is provided. The effect of power supply resonance is a variation in power supply voltage potential. This variation may substantially affect an output buffer by causing the output buffer's output to sag below desired values. A voltage regulating circuit is coupled to power supply lines local to the output buffer where the voltage regulating circuit is most effective in reducing voltage potential variation. An exemplary voltage regulating circuit is provided that uses charge-pumped capacitors to raise the power supply voltage potential when it falls below a desired value. A second example of a voltage regulating circuit uses charge-pumped capacitors to lower the power supply voltage potential when it rises above a desired value.

    摘要: A method for quantifying effects of resonance in an integrated circuit's power distribution network is provided. The power distribution network includes a first power supply line and a second power supply line to provide power to the integrated circuit. Test ranges are selected for two test parameters, reference voltage potential of a receiver and data transmission frequency of the integrated circuit. At each combination of the two test parameters, bit patterns are transmitted by the integrated circuit to the receiver. A comparison is made between the transmitted bits and the received bits to determine whether the transmitted bits were correctly received. The comparison may be used to determine and report a range of values for the reference voltage potential and data transmission frequency that allow the transmitted bits to be correctly received.

    摘要: Input/output data transmission between a transmitting integrated circuit and a receiving integrated circuit requires a clock domain synchronizer to synchronize incoming data aligned to a clock signal of the transmitting integrated circuit to a clock signal of the receiving integrated circuit. During a start-up routine, the clock domain synchronizer propagates a pre-determined pattern of data bits through a first circuit path designed to reduce or eliminate metastability. During a normal operations mode, the clock domain synchronizer synchronizes the data signal to the clock signal of the receiving integrated circuit through a second circuit path.

    摘要: The present invention is an apparatus and method for increasing the amount of data on a transmission path on a printed circuit board. Conventional methods allow only one data signal to be transmitted on the transmission path. The present invention uses multiple transmitters to modulate multiple data signals to form multiple modulated signals. The modulated signals are transmitted, possibly simultaneously, on the transmission path to receivers configured to demodulate individual modulated signals and recover the original data signals.
