    摘要: A system for controlling the impedances of circuits on an integrated circuit chip is provided. At least one circuit is selected to operate as a p-channel reference circuit, and at least one circuit is selected to operate as an n-channel reference circuit. Other circuits are selected to operate as circuits and/or line termination circuits. A digitally controlled impedance (DCI) circuit controls the p-channel reference circuit to determine a desired configuration of p-channel transistors for use in the circuits. The DCI circuit further controls the n-channel reference circuit to determine a desired configuration of n-channel transistors for use in the circuits. The DCI circuit takes into account such factors as resistances of p-channel transistors in the p-channel reference circuit, resistances of n-channel transistors in the n-channel reference circuit, as well as temperature, voltage and process variations. The DCI circuit relays information identifying the desired configurations of the n-channel and p-channel transistors to the circuits. The circuits are then configured in response to this information.

    摘要: A data alignment and deskewing module includes a delay calibration unit, a data alignment and deskew unit, and a delay unit. The delay calibration unit is operably coupled to generate a reference signal based on a reference clock and a mirrored delay line output signal. The data alignment and deskew unit is operably coupled to determine a delay selection signal based on a delayed and deskewed representation of an input data stream and propagation delay of a line on which the input data stream is received. The delay unit is operably coupled to produce the delayed and deskewed representation of the input data stream based on the reference signal and the delay selection signal.

    摘要: Described are systems for producing differential logic signals. These systems can be adapted for use with different loads by programming one or more programmable elements. One embodiment includes a series of driver stages, the outputs of which are connected to one another. The driver stages turn on successively to provide increasingly powerful differential amplification. This progressive increase in amplification produces a corresponding progressive decrease in output resistance, which reduces the noise associated with signal reflection. The systems can be incorporated into programmable IOBs to enable PLDs to provide differential output signals.
