A memory buffer, memory system and method for power-on initialization and test for a cascade interconnect memory system. The memory buffer includes a bus interface to links in a high-speed channel for communicating with a memory controller via a direct connection or via a cascade interconnection through an other memory buffer. The interface is operable in a SBC mode and a high-speed mode. The memory buffer also includes a field service interface (FSI) slave for receiving FSI signals from a FSI master. In addition, the memory buffer includes logic for executing a power-on and initialization training sequence initiated by the memory controller.

A communication interface device, system, method, and design structure for error correcting code (ECC) protected quasi-static bit communication (SBC) on a high-speed bus are provided. The communication interface device includes high-speed sampling logic to capture high-speed data from the high-speed bus using a high-speed sampling clock and SBC sampling logic to capture SBC samples from the high-speed bus using an SBC sampling clock. The SBC sampling clock is slower than the high-speed sampling clock. The communication interface device also includes an SBC finite state machine (FSM) to detect a received SBC command in response to a static pattern persisting for a predetermined number of the SBC samples and command decoding logic to decode the received SBC command.

Apparatuses and methods comprise a phase shifter, an adjustable capacitance configured to adjust a phase shift of said phase shifter, an arbitrary waveform generator configured to adjust the adjustable capacitance, and a pulse pattern generator coupled to the phase shifter, the phase shifter is configured to control the pulse pattern generator. In one aspect, an adjustable capacitance is at least one varactor diode. In another, a pair of varactor diodes are separated by λ/4 lines, an input and an output of the adjustable capacitance is AC-coupled, and the arbitrary waveform generator is configured to adjust the adjustable capacitance through a gaussian noise signal input to the pair of varactor diodes. A deterministic jitter generator may be coupled to the pulse pattern generator. An open-circuited stub line may be input to the pattern generator, a deterministic jitter content number adjustable varying stub line length.

A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) Clock-And-Data Recovery (CDR) architecture that utilizes/produces one sample-per-bit in the receiver and reduces bit-error-rate (BER) is provided. The design generally includes a receiver circuit. The receiver circuit generally includes a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) that produces one sample per bit, and means for automatically self-adjusting the DFE to enable an eye centering process by which peak energy is maintained within the receiver circuit when phase error is a minimum.

A method and system for testing a high-speed circuit is disclosed. The method and system include obtaining a high-speed statistical signature of the high-speed circuit using a conventional tester. The method and system further include comparing the high-speed statistical signature of the high-speed circuit to an expected signature. Consequently, it can be determined whether the high-speed circuit functions within the desired parameters.

A system and method for tracking/adapting phase or frequency changes in an incoming serial data stream that may contain significant amounts of noise and/or jitter and may contain relatively long periods of successive univalue data bits. The method includes digitally sampling a received data stream at predefined intervals to produce a data set; estimating when logic transitions occur in the data set; detecting a timing trend represented by the estimated logic transitions; and adjusting a frequency of the first clock so that the timing trend averages approximately zero over a plurality of logic transitions.
