    摘要: Conventional receiver architectures are based on either frequency/phase tracking or oversampling. Both receiver types typically employ sensitive analog circuits, which create noise, consume power and utilize valuable space in their implementation. The invention adopts a novel approach to phase/frequency tracking that utilizes the edges or zero crossings of the input data waveform to effectively track the remote transmitter clock phase/frequency. This methodology minimizes the use of analog circuitry, thereby reducing the noise domain and the substrate space required for implementation of a tracking device.

    摘要: A method of recovering data from a modulated data signal includes tracking a transmitted clock with a plurality of locally-generated clock phases, estimating an average phase of previously detected edges, registering a pulse edge in the received stream of data at a transition phase corresponding to one of the plurality of locally-generated clock phases, determining whether a first symbol was received multiple times consecutively prior to the registered pulse edge, and using the determination of whether the first symbol was received multiple times consecutively in a receiver decision process.

    摘要: When signaling over cables or other media having significant return impedance, it is generally more efficient to use two conductors to carry two simultaneous bi-directional signals differentially, rather than utilizing unidirectional communications. Bi-directional communications increases the aggregate bandwidth of a pair of conductors. A conversion circuit converts unidirectional signaling between an edge-based receiver and a transmitter to simultaneous differential bi-directional signaling. A receiver for receiving data includes an edge processor operative to make decisions using edges of a received data stream and a communication circuit coupled to the edge processor. The communication circuit is operative to convert communications with the edge processor from a first format, such as unidirectional signaling, to a second format, such as differential bi-directional signaling.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for asynchronously receiving a stream of data. The method and apparatus operate to detect edges within the stream of data and track a transmitted clock using multiple locally-generated clock phases. Moreover, the method and apparatus determine whether each edge arrives early or late relative to an expected arrival time and use the determination whether an edge arrived early or late in a receiver decision process. An exemplary embodiment of the apparatus to recover a clock from a stream of data includes an edge buffer, an edge processor, a multi-phase clock and an elastic buffer. The edge buffer receives the data stream and outputs an edge signal that indicates detection of an edge within the data stream. The edge processor is coupled to the edge buffer, determines an average phase of the detected edges and outputs a data signal and the average phase. The multi-phase clock is coupled to the edge processor, and outputs a multiple clock phases offset from each other by a predetermined amount. The elastic buffer is coupled to the edge processor and the multi-phase clock and outputs the data and the average phase.

    摘要: A tracking data receiver which can compensate for deterministic jitter is disclosed. The device utilizes a history of past data received to determine which of multiple samples taken within a bit period to utilize. Due to deterministic jitter that can occur in data signal communication, the delay of waveform development varies with the ratio of 0's to 1's transmitted prior to the bit period being observed. The present invention exploits the predictable nature of the deterministic jitter to decide which sample to choose.

    摘要: A method for effecting an in-band reset of the physical layers of two agents interconnected through a link-based interconnection scheme. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a first of the two agents ceases its forwarded clock to initiate the in-band reset. Upon realization of the cessation, a second agent ceases its forwarded clock and proceeds to a reset state. The first agent then proceeds to a reset state. Subsequently, after waiting a specified period of time, both agents proceed with a re-initialization of the physical layer. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the re-initialization of the physical layer is effected without impacting other layers of the interconnection hierarchy.
