摘要:
Conversion circuitry for use in a process control system is adapted for coupling to a primary process control loop. Digital receiver circuitry in the conversion circuitry receives a digital signal transmitted over the primary process control loop from a field transmitter and responsively provides a digital output. A microprocessor receives the digital output and responsively provides a secondary loop control output. Secondary loop control circuitry for coupling to a secondary process control loop receives the secondary loop control output from the microprocessor and responsively controls current flowing through the secondary process control loop. The current flowing through the secondary process control loop is related to the digital signal transmitted by the field transmitter.

A three wire transmitter bidirectionally communicates AC signals to and from a first external device and sends DC signals to a second external device. The transmitter includes a communication circuit which is energized from power and common terminals and includes memory storage for transmitter status and a process variable (PV). The communication circuit receives a sensor output indicative of the PV and provides the DC signal and the AC signal to a signal terminal which connects to both external devices, and also receives AC signals from the first external device. The communications circuit has a characteristic AC impedance between the signal and common terminals over an AC frequency range for receiving and transmitting AC signals to and from the first external device so that the receiving signals are not shorted out and so the transmitted signals can be received. The communications circuit has a characteristic DC impedance between the signal and common terminals over a range of frequencies which include DC and typically extend to approximately 20 Hz. The characteristic impedance is substantially lower than the impedance of the second external device which receives DC signals so that the accuracy of the DC signal is not compromised.

A method and apparatus for combining statistical eye channel compliance methods with linear continuous-time equalization. A set of equalizer parameters is processed with measured channel parameters to create a set of modified parameters that are then used with a statistical eye algorithm. This technique allows for the addition of linear continuous-time equalization with or without modification of the existing statistical eye algorithm.

Bit-Edge Zero Forcing Equalizer. A novel solution is presented by which a BE-ZFE (Bit-Edge Zero Forcing Equalizer) is employed to drive an error term within a data signal to an essentially zero value. This new BE-ZFE looks at values of data that occur at the bit edges of a data signal and drives the associated error term to zero. The new BE-ZFE is appropriately implemented within communication systems that are phase (or jitter) noise limited. Some examples of such communication systems include high-speed serial links one type of which serviced using a SERDES (Serializer/De-serializer) where data that is originally in a parallel format is serialized into a serial data stream and then subsequently de-serialized back into a parallel data stream.

A receiver that includes: an oversampling module that converts a serial stream of data into a plurality of streams of oversampled data based on the receive clock; a transition location module that determines transition locations of the streams of oversampled data and the receive clock; a pointer adjust module that determines a pointer variable based on the transition locations and the receive clock; a data selection module that determines an equivalent data value for the streams of oversampled data based on the pointer variable; a staging register module that produces an offset data word and an extra data word from the equivalent data value for the oversampled data streams; and a output register module that produces a parallel data output from at least one of the offset data word and the extra data word.

A transceiver includes a receiver section and a transmitter section. The receiver section includes a clocking circuit, a serial-to-parallel module, and compensation. The transmitter section includes a clocking circuit, parallel-to-serial module, and compensation. The compensation within the receiver section and transmitter section compensates for integrated circuit (IC) processing limits and/or integrated circuit (IC) fabrication limits within the clocking circuits, serial-to-parallel module, and parallel-to-serial module that would otherwise limit the speed at which the transceiver could transport data.

A communication system includes a transmitter, a communication channel, and a receiver. The transmitter includes a pre-emphasis module, a summing module, a line driver, and a decision feedback pre-emphasis (DFP) module to produce a pre-emphasized serial stream of data based on a communications channel response and an inter-symbol interference level. The receiver includes a linear equalizer, a summing module, a decision module, and a decision feedback equalization (DFE) module. The linear equalizer produces an equalized serial stream of data. The summing module sums at least one data element of the equalized serial stream of data with DFE data elements to produce equalized data elements. The decision module interprets the equalized data elements to produce interpreted data elements to DFE module, which produces the DFE data elements from the interpreted data elements.
