    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses associated with an approximate majority based data bus inversion technique are disclosed. A method comprises obtaining, at a first device connected by a plurality of lanes to a second device, original data comprising first bits and second bits, where the first bits are to be transmitted in a new clock cycle via first lanes of the plurality of lanes, and the second bits are to be transmitted in the new clock cycle via second lanes of the plurality of lanes. The method further includes determining whether a first criterion associated with the first bits is met, determining whether a second criterion associated with the second bits is met, and transmitting an inverted version of the original data via the plurality of lanes based, at least in part, on determining that the first criterion and the second criterion are met.

    Abstract: A port is to couple to another die over a die-to-die (D2D) link and includes physical layer (PHY) circuitry including a first number of sideband lanes to carry data for use in training and management of the D2D link, and a second number of mainband lanes to implement a main data path of the D2D link. The mainband lanes include a forwarded clock lane, a valid lane, and a plurality of data lanes. A logical PHY coordinates functions of the sideband lanes and the mainband lanes.

    Abstract: One or more link training signals are received, including instances of a link training pattern, on a plurality of lanes of a physical link that includes at least one valid lane and a plurality of data lanes. The plurality of lanes are trained together using the link training signals to synchronize sampling of the valid lane with sampling of the plurality of data lanes. An active link state is entered and a valid signal received on the valid lane during the active link state. The valid signal includes a signal held at a value for a defined first duration and indicates that data is to be received on the plurality of data lanes in a second defined duration subsequent to the first duration. The data is to be received, during the active link state, on the plurality of data lanes during the second defined duration.

    Abstract: A die with a transmission circuit, a reception circuit, and a comparison circuit can be provided. The transmission circuit can be configured to transmit a first signal through a first channel at a first transmission rate and a first transmission amplitude. The reception circuit can be in communication with the transmission circuit through the first channel. The reception circuit can receive a second signal at a first reception rate and at a first reception amplitude. The comparison circuit can be in communication with the transmission circuit and the reception circuit. The comparison circuit can be configured to: determine a first rate error value, determine a first amplitude error value, compare the first rate error value with a rate threshold to determine a first rate error occurrence, and compare the first amplitude error value with an amplitude threshold to determine a first amplitude error occurrence.

    Abstract: In an example, a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) provides pseudorandom bit sequences (PRBSs) to an interconnect for training, testing, and scrambling purposes. The interconnect may include a state machine, with states including LOOPBACK, CENTERING, RECENTERING, and ACTIVE states, among others. The interconnect is permitted to move from “CENTERING” to “LOOPBACK” via a sideband signal. In LOOPBACK, CENTERING, and RECENTERING, PRBSs are used for training and testing purposes to electrically characterize and test the interconnect, and to locate a midpoint for a reference voltage Vref. A unique, noncorrelated PRBS is provided to each lane, calculated using one common output bit.
