    摘要: A protective circuit for a phase lock loop ensures that the VCO does not initiate a runaway condition when outputting a signal having a frequency higher than the feedback divider can respond to. During normal phase lock operation, a counter keeps track of the PLL input signal and is reset by the feedback divider. In the runaway condition the counter is not reset and triggers a control signal to the VCO. A second counter can be used to keep track of the feedback divider output and to reset the first counter. When the first counter far outruns the second counter the control signal is triggered.

    摘要: A digital data link performance monitor technique for communication systems and information and data processing systems is disclosed. The technique is based on the integration and analysis of a plurality of sorted data edge transitions of a serial data stream received over the digital data link. The number of data edge sorts to each of n time intervals definitive of the edge histogram is compared with a predetermined threshold level and a monitor signal is generated with each comparison. The combination of monitor signals is then analyzed to determine the amount of data timing jitter, and therefore the quality of the link. Corresponding methods and circuits are described.

    摘要: A delay equalization circuit for minimizing the static phase error in a PLL is provided. The delay equalization circuit includes an external clock signal variable delay path, and an element for creating a pulse with a width proportional to the delay of the external clock signal variable delay path. The delay equalization circuit also includes a delay path in the feedback loop, and second element for creating a second pulse in proportion to the delay of the internal delay path. Finally, the circuit contains a comparison device. The comparison device compares the first and second pulses. The comparison device outputs a difference signal in proportion to the difference in the external and internal path delays. That difference signal is fed back and used to control the external path delay such that the external delay is driven to be substantially equal to the internal delay, minimizing the static phase error of the PLL device.

    摘要: An integrated current reference circuit provides a current output with a predetermined temperature coefficient, suitably zero, to provide constant current over temperature variations. The circuit is formed of only Field Effect Transistors (FETs), allowing the circuit to be implemented using conventional CMOS fabrication techniques. A current mirror provides a reference current in both branches of the circuit. The output of the current mirror is coupled to a circuit providing an imbalance in resistance between the two branches, and an offsetting imbalance in voltages between the two branches, resulting in a reference current that has a predetermined temperature coefficient. An output current is provided which is proportional to the reference current and thus has the same temperature coefficient as the reference current.

    摘要: Data edge phase sorting circuits for communication systems and information and data processing systems employing digital phase locked logic circuits. The sorting circuits phase sort edge transitions of a serial data stream relative to a local clock signal. The local clock signal is coupled to a delay line having a plurality of serially connected delay elements, each of which outputs a delay clock of different phase. The sorting circuit includes an extraction circuit coupled to receive the serial data stream for detecting edge transitions in the serial stream and outputting a pulse of predefined duration in response to each detected transition. Coupled to the extraction circuit output is a non-sequential logic circuit, which is also coupled to the local clock through the delay line. The non-sequential logic circuit combines the outputted extraction circuit pulse and the plurality of delay clocks for sorting the pulse relative to the delay clocks. Specific embodiments for the extraction circuit and non-sequential logic circuitry are depicted and described herein.

    摘要: A digital integrating clock extraction technique for communication systems and information and data processing systems having high jitter and/or noise is disclosed. The technique is based on the integration and periodic analysis of a plurality of sorted data edge transitions of a received serial data stream. A retiming clock phase is selected from a plurality of locally generated clock signals of different phase. The retiming clock selection is preferably reevaluated after N data edge transition sorts. The resultant data edge histogram can be cumulative of all sorted transitions or merely cumulative of the last N sorted transitions. Corresponding methods and apparatus are described.

    摘要: An adaptive regeneration system is provided for reconstructing a signal received in the form of a multi-level composite data and clock signal which has been degraded with respect to amplitude and timing. The system includes a local clock circuit for outputting a plurality of phase-delayed local clock signals, and a clock recovery circuit for receiving the received multi-level signal and the plurality of phase-delayed clock signals and extracting a phase-delayed local clock signal which most accurately represents the phase shift between the received multi-level signal and the local clock signal. A threshold level selection circuit receives the extracted phase-delayed local clock signal and the received multi-level signal and outputs in real time a data amplitude reading and a plurality of multi-level threshold levels corresponding to the amplitude levels of the received multi-level signal. A data regenerator receives the data amplitude reading, the plurality of multi-level threshold levels and the extracted phase-delayed signal and reconstructs and outputs the received multi-level signal essentially in its originally transmitted form.

    摘要: An adaptive equalization and regeneration system is provided for accurately reconstructing a received data pulse train which has been degraded with respect to amplitude and instantaneous frequency. The system comprises an equalizer which responds to a control signal to provide a variable gain function for the received signal and output an equalized signal, digital phase lock logic for receiving and extracting timing information from the equalized signal, a regenerator for matching the timing information with the equalized signal to reconstruct the received data in its originally transmitted form, and control circuitry for providing the control signal to the equalizer. The control signal adjusts the slope of the equalizer gain function so as to minimize amplitude and instantaneous frequency degradation at the equalizer output. The system includes a mechanism to detect and calculate total signal degradation at the equalizer output. Control logic is used to identify the slope of the equalizer gain function at which total signal degradation is minimized. The control signal, which corresponds to this identified slope, is applied to the equalizer in real time to maintain minimum total signal degradation at the equalizer output.

    摘要: Clock extraction and data regeneration logic is provided for a multiple rate digital data communications system such as a local area network (LAN). The logic is implemented in adapters which connect stations in the LAN to other stations in the LAN via transmission media such as wire or fiber optic cable. The clock extraction and data regeneration logic is adapted to quickly recognize the speed at which the token ring is operating, thereby preventing a station on the ring from sending data onto the ring at a rate which does not match the operating frequency of the ring. The logic also performs, at multiple speeds of operation, clock extraction and data reconstruction of a signal received from another station in the ring.
