    摘要: A resonance suppression circuit is provided to suppress resonance on a power grid of a chip or die. The resonance suppression circuit may include a band-pass filter portion, a comparator portion, an amplification portion and a current dissipation portion. The band-pass filter portion may include an inverter coupled between two signal lines of the power grid. The comparator portion may sense voltage fluctuations at approximately the resonance frequency and trigger the current dissipation portion to turn ON and thereby change the frequency spectrum of the load current on the power grid to suppress the power grid resonance.

    摘要: A system and method for sampling a data stream generates a number of clock signals having equally spaced phases and then samples a data stream using the clock signals. The clock phases are preferably based on a predetermined fraction of a data rate frequency of the data stream, and sampling is performed based on predetermined combinations of the clock signals. While the system and method is suitable for sampling data transmitted for a wide variety of data rates, the system and method is especially well-suited to sampling at data transmitted at high rates, for example, equal to or greater than 20 Gb/s.

    摘要: One embodiment of a laser driver for high speed interconnections includes a buffered level shifter to shift the input voltage level to an appropriate level. In some embodiments the buffered level shifter may be tuned to provide a desired level shift with impedance matched to the driving load. Another embodiment converts a digital signal to a current train of a bias mode to represent logical zero and of a modulation mode to represent logical one, wherein one or both of the bias mode and modulation mode may be adjusted, for example by a programmable control circuit or by an adaptive control circuit. Some embodiments also provide circuitry for reducing overshoot of the output signal.
