    摘要: Input/output (I/O) clock phase adjustment circuitry for use with I/O buffer circuitry of an integrated circuit chip. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit chip includes a phase adjustment circuit coupled to receive a system clock. The phase adjustment circuit generates an I/O clock coupled to be received by an I/O buffer circuit of an integrated circuit chip for I/O data transfers in a system. The phase adjustment circuit includes a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit coupled to receive the system clock through a first delay circuit. The I/O clock generated by the PLL circuit is received through a second delay circuit at a feedback clock input of the PLL circuit. The first and second delay circuits are used to control the phase of the I/O clock generated by the PLL circuit relative to the system clock. In one embodiment, a third delay circuit is included in an I/O data path of the I/O buffer circuit of the integrated circuit. The third delay circuit enables input and output data transmissions from the integrated circuit to be clocked, in effect, out of phase with the I/O clock generated by phase adjustment circuit.

    摘要: A single external impedance element is used to perform multiple circuit compensation. A reference impedance code is first generated from a master circuit, and then the reference impedance code is shifted to generate a slave impedance code. The slave impedance code is provided to one or more slave circuits to activate devices in the slave circuit(s). Impedance-generation devices coupled to the slave circuit are then activated one at a time until their generated impedance corresponds to the impedance generated by the slave circuit. The reference impedance code can be incremented or decremented (e.g., shifted) to generate slave impedance codes corresponding to different impedance values, according to impedance requirements of various different circuits that require compensation.

    摘要: Integrated circuits include an impedance control circuit having at least one output terminal coupled to an on-chip reference termination device in order to control output impedance of the reference termination device such that it matches that of an external resistance. The impedance control circuit outputs are also coupled to the on-chip impedance-controlled termination devices which are coupled to each of the external transmission lines to be terminated. In this way, a single reference resistance allows many transmission lines to be properly terminated. The impedance-controlled termination devices are may be implemented as pairs of binary weighted p-channel and n-channel field effect transistors.

In one embodiment, a reference clock generator generates a reference clock signal based on an instantaneous clock signal. The reference clock signal includes the instantaneous clock signal delayed for an average duration. A phase comparing element receives both the instantaneous clock signal and the reference clock signal such that the phase comparing element measures a phase difference between the instantaneous clock signal and the reference clock signal. The magnitude and direction of the phase difference is indicated by one of a number of distinct phase difference bins in the phase comparing element.

    摘要: A driver/receiver circuit for use at one end of a simultaneous bi-directional differential signal line while being driven at the other end by a similar circuit. The driver/receiver circuit includes a differential driver, a differential receiver, an isolation circuit and an offset generator. The differential driver drives differential signal lines as a function of an output signal. The differential amplifier detects the differential voltage across the differential signal lines via the isolation circuit. The offset generator circuit receives the output signal and, in response, adds an offset to the input terminals of the differential amplifier. The offset cancels at least a portion of the differential voltage across the input terminals of the differential amplifier that results from the DOUT signal. The isolation circuit prevents the offset from significantly affecting the voltage across the differential signal lines.
