A phase interpolator interpolates between a plurality of clock phases using a plurality of switching legs coupled to a common output. Each switching leg includes a pair of differential switching transistors each having a gate and two additional terminals, one of which is coupled to said common output. The gates are coupled to respective ones of the plurality of clock phases and their complements. Tails couple the other terminals of said switching transistors to ground. Each tail made up of a plurality of transistors. A load coupling the common output to a voltage.

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.

A receiving device within a digital electronic system includes a sampling unit, a voter block, and a local clock phase adjustment unit. The sampling unit samples an input line at three points in time at intervals of one half of a bit period. The sampling unit delivers the values obtained in the sampling process to the voter block. The voter block determines whether to deliver an up or a down vote to the local clock phase adjustment unit. The voter block communicates with the local clock phase adjustment unit via up and down control signals. The local clock phase adjustment unit determines whether the local clock phase should be adjusted, and if so, whether to advance or delay the local clock phase. If certain meta-stable conditions are observed by the voter block, the voter block will vote in one direction in order to push the system out of the meta-stable condition.

A method and system for improved phase tracking in communication systems is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method, comprises identifying a slow-time varying phase drift on a link by counting long term beats; calibrating an interpolator with the phase drift; predicting a future phase drift; and updating the interpolator periodically with the future phase drift prediction.

An error detection technique uses a cumulative error detecting code (such as a cumulative CRC checksum or the like). At the source node (transmitter side) an error detecting code of a previous cell is stored. The next cell to be transmitted is received and the error detecting code of the previous cell is appended to the next cell. A next error detecting code is calculated as a function of at least a portion of the next cell to be transmitted and the previous error detecting code appended thereto. The previous error detecting code appended to the next cell is replaced with the next error detecting code, and the next cell including the next error detecting code appended thereto is transmitted. In this manner, the cumulative error detecting code is calculated over the current cell and a previous error detecting code. Thus, the cumulative error detecting code can be used to detect bit errors in each individual cell as well as to detect one or more missing or dropped cells.

An apparatus and method for low latency power management on a serial data link are described. In one embodiment, the method includes the detection of an electrical idle exit condition during receiver operation in an electrical idle state. Once detected, data synchronization is performed according to one or more received data synchronization training patterns. Finally, when the synchronization is performed within a determined synchronization re-establishment period, the receiver will resume operation according to a normal power state. Accordingly, the embodiment described illustrates an open loop, low latency power resumption operation for power management within 3GIO links.
