摘要： A method of reducing power consumption while maintaining performance characteristics and avoiding costly over-design of a high-speed communication link embedded in an SOC is provided. The method includes synthesizing the communication link at a reduced voltage to determine and isolate circuitry that is supply-voltage-critical from circuitry that is non-supply-voltage-critical. The supply-voltage-critical circuitry contains components that may not operate at the reduced voltage without degrading the performance characteristics of the communication link. A non-reduced voltage is used to drive the supply-voltage-critical circuitry while the reduced voltage is used to drive the non-supply-voltage-critical circuitry. The reduced voltage is generated using a voltage regulator embedded in the communication link.

摘要： A digital transmission circuit and interface provide selectable power consumption via multiple weighted driver slices, improving the flexibility of an interface while reducing transmitter power consumption, area and complexity when possible. A cascaded series of driver stages is provided by a set of parallel slices and a control logic that activates one or more of the slices, which combine to produce a cascaded active driver circuit. The power consumption/drive level selectability of the slice combination provides a driver that can be fine-tuned to particular applications to provide the required performance at a minimum power consumption level.

摘要： A digital transmission circuit and method providing selectable power consumption via single-ended or differential operation improves the flexibility of an interface while reducing power consumption when possible. A differential path is provided through the transmitter output driver stages and portions are selectively disabled when the transmission circuit is in a lower-power operating mode. A single-ended to differential converter circuit can be used to construct a differential signal for output to the final driver stage. The selection of power mode can be made via feedback from a channel quality measurement unit or may be hardwired or selected under programmatic control. The longer delay or skew of the lower-power single-ended mode is compensated for by the relaxed requirements of the channel when conditions permit the use of the lower-power single-ended mode.

摘要： A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and phase-locked loop (PLL) topologies that allow for low-voltage, high frequency, low-jitter operation are disclosed. The conventional PLL design is modified so as to bifurcate the error signal into AC and DC components. A VCO accepting AC- and DC-component control inputs adjusts its output frequency in accordance with both inputs.

摘要： According to an apparatus form of the invention, integrated circuitry on a single chip includes a bit-programmable voltage regulator supplying voltage to first circuitry on the chip. The integrated circuitry also includes second circuitry operable for characterizing performance of the first circuitry. Control circuitry on the chip is operable, responsive to the characterizing performed by the second circuitry, to output at least one digital control bit for controlling the regulator output voltage supplying the first circuitry. In another aspect, the integrated circuitry is operable to receive an externally generated, time-based reference signal, and the second circuitry includes an on-chip oscillator for generating a performance characterizing signal. The performance characterizing signal varies in frequency in correspondence with the performance of the first circuitry. The control circuitry receives the reference signal and the performance characterizing signal and responsively generates the at least one control bit.
