    摘要: The present invention relates generally to the transmission of digital data. More particularly, the invention relates to a high-speed data transmission between integral circuits (ICs) or chips. A data transmission means for high-speed transmission of digital data is proposed, the data transmission means comprising: at least one driver for driving a transmission line; and a timing deskewing means connected thereto, wherein the timing deskewing means comprises a storage means for recording and storing information on skew caused by inter-symbol interference and cross-talk influence in the transmission line, for at least one data pattern transmitted through the transmission line; and an adjustment means for generating and applying a correction to the timing position of a signal transition between two logical levels, the correction being generated on the basis of the information stored in the storage means, so as to compensate for the above skew. The present invention allows to reduce the skew of signals at the end of a transmission line so as to compensate for the effects of cross-talk and various signal reflections, settling time influence, or other kind of inter-symbol interference like frequency dependent line resistance due to skin effect and provide thereby a high performance transmission means for high speed transmission of digital data.

    摘要: A transmission system and method for transmission of digital data with impedance matching at the terminal ends reduces reflected signals due to impedance mismatch at the terminating ends and due to impedance transition areas in the transmission line. The transmission system includes a transmission line having a driver end connected to a driving circuit and a receiving end connected to a receiving circuit, each said end having an adjustable termination means connected thereto On the driver end of the transmission line said adjustable termination means is incorporated in the driving circuit, while on the receiver end of the transmission line said adjustable termination means is connected in parallel with the receiving circuit. Thus, both the reflections produced on the ends of a transmission line and the reflections resulting from discontinuities within a transmission line will be terminated.

    摘要: An amplifier circuit for receiving an input signal and providing an output signal, comprises a main chain of logic stages with a plurality of nodes therebetween, and at least one auxiliary chain nested between one node in the main chain and another node, which is not the next node, to form a series of feed back or feed forward nested equalisation loops; whereby the input signal is fed serially down the main chain and is also fed through the said at least one auxiliary chain and summed to provide the output signal. The invention overcomes gain-bandwidth limits of the drive stages and bandwidth reductions that occur when analogue stages operating in a linear mode are concatenated.

    摘要: A reference voltage generator and a method for generating a reference voltage for a logic device using the reference voltage generator is provided. The voltage reference generator includes a ring oscillator having a plurality of logic gates and a phase/frequency detector. A first reference voltage is generated on the basis of a phase/frequency difference between the phase/frequency of a reference clock and the phase/frequency of the ring oscillator. A second reference voltage is generated on the basis of a voltage swing of the oscillator circuit. Both reference voltages can be applied to the plurality of logic gates of the ring oscillator such that a constant delay is created through each logic gate of the logic device.

    摘要: A means for reducing the power consumption of the transmitter by storing the recent history of the transmitted data using a string of gates with taps from the string taken at points determined by the propagation delay of each gate and controlling driving transistors as a function of comparison of that history with input data so that, either the signal is driven into the transmission line at full strength, or at a level near the minimum needed to retain the state in the receiver.The advantage of the invention is that the line capacitance decays through the terminating resistors or discharge transistors, such that when the next state change is needed, then line has less stored energy needing to be discharged.

    摘要: Bidirectional differential point to point simultaneous high speed signalling is provided between integrated circuits with highly effective echo canceling. Each integrated circuit comprises a transmitter for transmitting a first signal to another integrated circuit and a receiver for receiving a second signal from the other integrated circuit. The transmitter has an output buffer; a receiver has a receiver buffer and is co-located on the same integrated circuit; and a differential buffer is coupled between the input of the transmitter buffer and the output of the receiver buffer. To increase the quality of receiving the second signal, a third signal adjusted in phase and amplitude is coupled at the output of the receive buffer, so that the echoing of the first signal is canceled. Preferably, the rise time of the third signal is also adjusted.
