    摘要: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a low-power highly-accurate passive multiphase clock generation scheme by using polyphase filters. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be low power phase-rotator-based 25 GB/s CDR architecture in case that half-rate reference clock is provided. It may be suitable for multi-lane scheme and incorporate phase interpolator with improved phase accuracy to make Nyquist-sampling clock phase. To improve the phase accuracy, poly phase filter may be used for converting 4-phase to 8-phase and interpolate adjacent 45 degree different phases. The linearity of phase rotator may be improved by proposed harmonic rejection poly phase filter (HRPPF) using the characteristic of notch filter response.

    摘要: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a clock and data recovery (CDR) apparatus with adaptive optimum CDR bandwidth estimation by using a Kalman gain extractor. The Kalman gain extractor includes an off chip digital processor which receives a phase update information from the CDR outputs an estimated optimum Kalman gain obtained by extracting the standard deviation of step sizes of the accumulation jitter from the power spectral density (PSD) of the phase update information, and a on chip digital loop filter consists of a cyclic accumulator which accumulates the phase detector's output, a gain multiplier and a phase interpolator (or DCO) controller. The off chip digital processor includes a storage register, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor and an optimum Kalman gain estimator. The storage register stores the phase update information, from which the FFT processor extracts the PSD of the absolute input jitter. The optimum Kalman gain estimator calculates the optimum gain from the PSD of the accumulation jitter. The off chip digital processor may further include a gain calibrator to compensate for the variations in the transition density.
