摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for timing recovery for an input/output bus with link redundancy. A parallel input/output interface receiver includes a plurality of data receivers, each configured to respectively receive input data from a respective one of n+m channels, where n is an integer greater than one and m is an integer greater than or equal to one. The input data is non-calibration data for the n channels and is calibration data for the m channels. The interface receiver further includes a first phase adjustor configured to provide a first clock signal to the plurality of data receivers for sampling of only the non-calibration data at any given time, and a second phase adjustor configured to provide a second clock signal to the plurality of data receivers for sampling of only the calibration data at any given time.
摘要:
A design for an oscillator, and a PLL incorporating such an oscillator, which takes up little physical area but maintains a large tuning range and low phase noise. Two LC-tanks are nested and switched. Through tuning the inactive tank, the range of the active tank may be increased and finer tuning becomes possible.

A decision feedback equalizer (DFE) and method include summer circuits to add a dynamic feedback signal representing a dynamic feedback tap to a received input and to speculate on a speculative tap. Data slicers are configured to receive outputs of the summer circuits and sample the outputs of the summer circuits. First multiplexers are included, each of which is configured to receive a first input from a corresponding data slicer. Second multiplexers are included, each of which is configured to receive an output of a plurality of the first multiplexers. The second multiplexers have an output fed back to a second input of the first multiplexers, and the second multiplexer output is employed to provide a select signal for a second multiplexer on a different section of the DFE and to drive the dynamic feedback signal to a summer circuit on a same section of the DFE.

A decision feedback equalizer (DFE) and method includes summer circuits to add a dynamic feedback signal representing an h2 tap to a received input and to speculate on an h1 tap. Data slicers receive and sample the outputs of the summer circuits using a clock signal to produce even data bits and odd data bits. First and second multiplexers receive the even data bits and the odd data bits. A first output latch is configured to receive an output of the first multiplexer to provide a select signal for the second multiplexer and to drive the dynamic feedback signal to an even half summer circuit of the summer circuits. A second output latch is configured to receive an output of the second multiplexer to provide a select signal for the first multiplexer and to drive the dynamic feedback signal to an odd half summer circuit of the summer circuits.
