    摘要: A system and circuit for determining data signal jitter via asynchronous sampling provides a low cost and production-integrable mechanism for measuring data signal jitter. The data signal is edge-detected and sampled by a sampling clock of unrelated frequency the sampled values are collected in a histogram according to a folding of the samples around a timebase. The timebase is determined by sweeping to detect a minimum jitter for the folded data. The histogram for the correct estimated timebase period is representative of the probability density function of the location of data signal edges and the jitter characteristics are determined by the width and shape of the density function peaks. Frequency drift can be corrected by adjusting the timebase used to fold the data across the sample set.

    摘要: A serial link receiver comprises first and second input terminals for receiving positive and negative inputs of a serial data signal, first and second broadband matching T-coils coupled to the first and second input terminals, first and second AC/DC coupling networks coupled to the first and second broadband matching T-coils, and a common mode level shifter coupled to the outputs from the first and second AC/DC coupling networks. This receiver architecture combines the ability to have a wide bandwidth input and pass through data signals at both low and high frequencies. This AC and DC coupled front end also incorporates the feature of a common mode level shifting network to place the common mode of the signal at the optimum point for the first active amplifier stage.

    摘要: A proactive noise suppression system and method for a power supply network of an integrated circuit. The system and method include receiving an IC event sequence to a memory element, correlating the IC event sequence to a storage location in a second memory element, the storage location including an anti-noise response signature, and utilizing the anti-noise response signature to proactively generate an anti-noise response in a power supply network in at least a portion of the integrated circuit at about the time of execution of the first IC event sequence. Anti-noise response signatures may be adaptively updated and/or created based on noise measurements made corresponding to execution of an IC event sequence by the integrated circuit.
