    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate a waveform in response to a frequency of an input clock signal and a threshold frequency. The second circuit may be configured to generate a control signal in response to a type of the waveform. The type of the waveform may comprise at least one of pulses and a steady state. The control signal may have a first state when the type of the waveform is the pulses and a second state when the type of the waveform is the steady state. A width of the pulses may be based on the threshold frequency.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to (i) receive a sequence of input values that have been carried on a single-ended line of a data bus coupled to a memory channel, (ii) slice a previous input value of said sequence of input values to generate a previous output value, (iii) slice a current input value of said sequence of input values to generate a current output value, and (iv) present said current output value on a differential line. The previous input value generally precedes said current input value in said sequence of input values. The second circuit may be configured to decode said previous input value based on a tap coefficient value to generate a plurality of feedback values suitable to reduce an inter-symbol interference in said current input value caused by said previous input value.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate an intermediate signal in response to an input clock signal operating at a frequency. The first circuit may modify the input clock signal according to a threshold frequency to generate a waveform for the intermediate signal. The waveform of the intermediate signal may have at least one of (i) pulses and (ii) a steady state. The second circuit may be configured to generate a control signal in response to the intermediate signal. The second circuit may modify the intermediate signal to generate the control signal. The control signal may have a first state when the intermediate signal has pulses. The control signal may have a second state when the intermediate signal has the steady state.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprising an analog circuit and a digital circuit. The analog circuit may be configured to (i) receive pulses generated in response to a comparison of a feedback signal and a reference signal, (ii) filter the pulses when a frequency of the feedback signal is close to a frequency of the reference signal and (iii) generate an enable signal in response to the filtered pulses. The digital circuit may be configured to generate an output signal representing a lock status between (i) the feedback signal and (ii) the reference signal. The lock status may be determined (a) during a decision window based on a number of pulses of the reference signal and (b) when the enable signal is active (B) the decision window may be repeated periodically until the enable signal is not active.

    Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus comprising an analog circuit and a digital circuit. The analog circuit may be configured to generate an enable signal in response to (i) a comparison of a width of an up pulse and a pre-determined width and (ii) a comparison of a width of a down pulse and the pre-determined width. The up pulse and the down pulse may be generated in response to a comparison of a feedback signal and a reference signal. The enable signal may be active when both the comparisons are within a pre-determined threshold. The digital circuit may be configured to generate an output signal representing a lock status between (i) the feedback signal and (ii) the reference signal. The lock status may be determined (a) during a decision window based on a number of pulses of the reference signal and (b) when the enable signal is active.

    Abstract: An apparatus having a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to buffer an input signal received as a single-ended signal from a data bus connected between a memory channel and a memory controller. The second circuit may be configured to condition the input signal relative to a reference voltage to generate a differential signal. The reference voltage may be isolated from the second circuit in response to a transition from a power down condition to a power on condition.
