Abstract:
Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for DDR reference voltage training. The method includes receiving a data stream, the data stream including pulses generated from a reference voltage in relation to a voltage input logic low and a voltage input logic high of an input stream. The method also includes receiving a clock signal, the clock signal including an in-phase signal and a quadrature-phase signal, the in-phase signal orthogonal to the quadrature-phase signal. The method also includes utilizing the in-phase signal and the quadrature-phase signal of the clock signal in relation to the data stream to obtain a stream of in-phase samples and a stream of quadrature-phase samples. The method also includes adjusting the reference voltage based on a relationship of the stream of in-phase samples to the stream of quadrature-phase samples.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for phase recovery of a signal received by a receiver having digital equalization. A sample acquisition unit periodically acquires a plurality of I and Q samples of the received signal. The sample acquisition unit includes a delay portion to enable selective mutual comparisons between a current I sample ID0, a first preceding I samples ID1, and a second preceding I sample ID2. A transition detection unit generates at least one transition detect signal responsive to the ID1, ID0, and Q samples. The transition detect signal indicates a logic state transition in the received signal between the ID1 and ID0 samples. A transition filtering unit generates an equalization detect signal indicative of excessive equalizing correction of the received signal at the ID0 sample, and selectively passes in response the transition detect signal as a timing output signal.
