Abstract:
An apparatus and method for regenerating reset and clock signals and a high-speed digital system using the apparatus and method are provided. In the regenerating circuit of the invention, a clock circuit receives an external clock signal and generates there from an internal clock signal, which is forwarded to a plurality of clocked circuits such as, for example, D flip-flops. A reset circuit receives an external reset signal and generates therefrom an internal reset signal, which is forwarded to the clocked circuits to reset the clock circuits. A clock masking circuit masks the internal clock signal for a masking period such that the clocked circuits are not clocked during the masking period. The high-speed digital system of the invention includes a plurality of function blocks coupled on a bus. The reset and clock regenerating circuit of the invention generates internal reset and clock signals from externally applied reset and clock signals.
Abstract:
A discrete multi-tone (DMT) processor receives predetermined control signals from a digital signal processor (DSP) within an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) modem, modulates transmission data in response to the control signals, and demodulates reception data. The DMT processor includes a frame synchronization signal generator, a transmitter, and a receiver. The frame synchronization generator generates a transmission frame synchronization signal and a reception frame synchronization signal in response to a cyclic prefix contained in the transmission data or reception data and a reception synchronization shift signal applied from the DSP. The transmitter DMT modulates and gain-controls the transmission data input in response to the transmission frame synchronization signal The receiver gain-controls and DMT demodulates the reception data response to the reception frame synchronization.
