    摘要: Signal processing circuitry having parallel processing channels has clock-generation circuitry that generates (i) high-speed clock signals used to drive the channels and (ii) synchronization signals used to reset the processing of the channels. In one embodiment, the signal processing circuitry has multiple multiplexing channels arranged in one or more macrocells, each macrocell having one or more channels and a phase-locked loop (PLL) that generates a high-speed PLL clock signal and a synchronization signal for the macrocell's channels. Each channel has a counter that implements a state machine used to drive the multiplexing processing, where the state machine is reset to a specified state upon receipt of each synchronization pulse in the synchronization signal.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system and method for improving the linearity of a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit. In one embodiment, a data stream is received, and the phase of a clock signal is adjusted using two interpolators. The phase of the output signal of the second interpolator is adjusted simultaneously with, and complementary to, adjusting the phase of the first interpolator. The first interpolator's output signal is injected into a first delay cell in a delay loop having a plurality of delay cells, and the output of the second interpolator is inactivated. When the maximum phase of the first interpolator's output signal is reached, the second interpolator's output signal is injected into another one of the delay cells, and the first interpolator's output signal is inactivated. The data stream is then recovered using the output of the delay loop as a clock signal.

    摘要: A compensation circuit for reducing power consumption in at least one digital circuit includes a first sample circuit connected to a first supply voltage, a second sample circuit connected to a second supply voltage, and a controller connected to the first and second sample circuits. The first and second sample circuits are substantially functionally equivalent to one another but optimized for different regions of operation within a specified range of PVT conditions. The controller is operative to receive respective output signals from the first and second sample circuits, to monitor a functionality of the second sample circuit relative to the first sample circuit, and to adjust a level of the second supply voltage to ensure correct operation of the second sample circuit throughout the specified range of PVT conditions. The digital circuit is operative from the second supply voltage.

    摘要: A circuit is described that generates multiple voltages each having a common reference point. The circuit uses a feedback control loop to generate a center voltage, a first voltage generator, and a second voltage generator. The first voltage generator generates a first high voltage related to the center voltage plus a first offset voltage and a first low voltage related to the center voltage minus the first offset voltage, where the first offset voltage is determined by a first control input to the first voltage generator. The second voltage generator generates a second high voltage related to the center voltage plus a second offset voltage and a second low voltage related to the center voltage minus the second offset voltage, where the second offset voltage is determined by a second control input to the second voltage reference generator. An example is also presented where the multiple voltage generator circuit is advantageously employed in a deserializer data acquisition system.
