    摘要: A data system permits bus encoding based on frequency of the bus and the frequency of switching on the bus so as to avoid undesirable frequency conditions such as a resonant condition or interference with other electrical devices. Transmission frequencies along one or more busses are monitored and used to control the encoding process, for example, an encoding process based on data bus inversion (DBI). The use of both a measure of an absolute number of logic levels (“DBI_DC”) and a measure of a number of logic level transitions relative to a prior signal (“DBI_AC”) provides a measure of control that may be used to compensate for both main and predriver switching noise.

    摘要: Embodiments of a system that communicates bidirectional data between two devices via shared links is described. In this system, data is transmitted on the shared links by one of the devices using single-ended drivers, and corresponding symbols are received on the shared links by the other device using differential comparison circuits. The data may be encoded as a series of parallel codewords prior to transmission. Each shared link may communicate a respective symbol in each codeword, which can have one of two possible logical values (e.g., a logic 0 or a logic 1). The corresponding symbols received by the other device may comprise a parallel symbol set, and each of the differential comparison circuits may compare symbols received on pairs of the shared links. A decoder in the other device may decode a respective parallel symbol set from the outputs of the differential comparison circuits to recover the encoded data.

    摘要: Embodiments of a memory controller are described. This memory controller communicates signals to a memory device via a signal line, which can be a data signal line or a command/address signal line. Termination of the signal line is divided between an external impedance outside of the memory controller and an internal impedance within the memory controller. The memory controller does not activate the external impedance prior to communicating the signals and, therefore, does not deactivate the external impedance after communicating the signals. The internal impedance of the memory controller can be enabled or disabled in order to reduce interface power consumption. Moreover, the internal impedance may be implemented using a passive component, an active component or both. For example, the internal impedance may include either or both an on-die termination and at least one driver.

    摘要: Techniques for performing timing calibration for an integrated circuit (IC) device are described. During operation, a first integrated circuit device transmits a first calibration pattern having differently delayed rising edge transitions with respect to a timing reference. The first integrated circuit device additionally transmits a second calibration pattern having differently delayed falling edge transitions with respect to the timing reference. Next, the first integrated circuit generates a timing offset for transmitting data from the first integrated circuit device. This timing offset is derived from information received from a second integrated circuit device sampling the first calibration pattern and the second calibration pattern.
