    摘要: A high-speed receiver includes multiple receiver components. Each receiver component includes sampling latches for receiving data, phase rotators for controlling timing of sampling of data by the sampling latches, and a clock-tracking logic stage for providing clock and data recovery. The clock-tracking logic stage is divided into a high-speed early/late (E/L) logic and aggregation counter section and a low-speed logic section, separated by a synchronization logic block. The receiver also includes a delay locked loop (DLL) for receiving an input clock signal corresponding to a data rate of the received data, providing coarse delay adjustment of the clock signal and outputting multiple clock phase vectors corresponding to the adjusted clock signal to the phase rotators on each receiver component. The phase rotators control sampling of the data based on the clock phase vectors received from the DLL. A single regulated power supply regulator regulates power supplied to the DLL and the phase rotators.

    摘要: A dual mode clock and data recovery (CDR) system is disclosed. A fast locking, oversampling CDR acquisition module can begin the process to quickly create a data acquisition clock signal in start up data acquisition conditions. When at least some data can be extracted from the incoming data stream, the DRR system can indicate such stability and switch to accept control from a low power CDR maintenance module. The low power CDR maintenance module can then fine tune and maintain the timing of the data acquisition signal. If the quality of the data lock under CDR maintenance module control degrades to a sufficient degree, the high power CDR acquisition module can be re-enables and re-assert control from the low power module until such time as the lock quality is again sufficient for the low power module to be used.

    摘要: A multi-Gigahertz, low jitter phase locked loop (PLL) with adjustable gain is disclosed. In one embodiment, properties of a fVCO signal of a PLL can be acquired. Properties can include the occurrences of different types of jitter on the fVCO signal and the lock status of the PLL. A gain control module can control at least a portion of the PLL based on an analysis of the acquired properties. For example, when the loop is locked or when there is loop filter leakage, the gain of a charge pump in the PLL can be reduced. When a charge pump mismatch is detected based on the acquired properties, additional control signals can be provided to the charge pump to correct the mismatch.
