    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.

    摘要: The proposed invention is about an improved method for serial-in and serial-out transceiver applications. The proposed system includes a dual loop phase locked loop (PLL) architecture having a PLL and a phase rotator (PR)-based delay locked loop (DLL). An advantage of this architecture is that a single PLL offers decoupled bandwidths; a wide jitter-tolerance (JTOL) bandwidth for receiving data and a narrow jitter transfer (JTRAN) bandwidth for the data transmission. Thus, the amount of jitter at the output can be substantially reduced relative to the input while offering sufficient jitter tracking bandwidth. Also, this architecture is suitable for low-power applications since a phase shifter in the data path, which is one of the most power-hungry blocks in conventional DPLL designs, is not required.
