    摘要: Signaling and coding methods and apparatus for long-range 10 and 100 mbps Ethernet transmission. In accordance with the method, a physical layer (PHY) device is provided that includes the long-range capabilities. In operation, the PHY measures the distance to a companion PHY, and if it is within the specification limits, communicates with the companion device in the normal way. If the distance is above the specification limits, the PHY checks to see if the companion PHY is similarly enabled, and if so, switches to a long-range signaling method. In a preferred embodiment, NRZ coding with pre-emphasis on the first bit of two or more bits of the same value is used for a first range exceeding the specification limit, and PAM4 coding is used for a second range exceeding the first range. Various embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) receivers use digital multiplexer at the input stage after equalization, clock and data recovery for each channel of each port. Described herein is the use of an analog multiplexer for HDMI receiver. The purpose of the analog multiplexer is to reduce the die size and power consumption by selecting the input signal from one port out of a set of input ports, right after the equalization and hence use only one block of clock and data recovery (CDR) circuits for the receiver. This sharing of one block of CDR circuits between all input ports requires the use of analog multiplexer circuits, as the signals presented to the analog multiplexer after equalization are of low signal strength and have insufficient signal-to-noise ratio to allow handling by digital multiplexer circuitry.

    摘要: High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification, Version 1.2, supports multiple video formats. Currently the HDMI sources and sinks support multiple formats through reconfiguration of the system. The present invention describes the use of a configurable ‘n’בn’ data pixel mapping matrix for video format conversion. This mapping matrix allows the mapping of any existing video format to any other existing or future video format and allows flexibility of connectivity to any transmitter or receiver. Accordingly a more user friendly implementation that provides greater flexibility for development and use of new formats in video applications is shown.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and mechanism for adapting a single phase-locked loop (PLL) for a wider range of frequencies than has been possible with prior art solutions. An analog comparator circuit that senses the output of a charge pump and provides a signal to a digital control circuit to choose a suitable load circuit for the PLL voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The analog comparator with the digital control circuit changes the VCO loads to select the best VCO range to achieve the incoming signal frequency lock. A single PLL with the VCO load selection method disclosed, with use of built-in hysteresis, in addition to the phase and frequency feedback of the prior art, allows multiple overlapping frequency ranges to be covered in a stable fashion. This enables frequency locking of the PLL over a wide range of frequencies with a small die size and low power consumption.

    摘要: A semiconductor device that can be used to process and transmit data in two dissimilar formats. DVI or DisplayPort (DPortV1) standardized formats are disclosed. This integration, which can be operated in each mode as fully compliant circuit with the specific standard, allows the same video capture and analog circuits to be configured and used for processing of both formats, thereby reducing the number of circuits required as well as the over all size of the integrated solution. Board space is also reduced by using this integrated chip. The use of the same chip in both applications also takes advantage of the manufacturing economy of scale to reduce the cost of the chip to the customer.
