    摘要: A method of receiving data, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, includes the acts of generating a data sampling clock signal and comparing a received clock signal to the data sampling clock signal. The data sampling clock signal is used to sample a data signal into sampled data representing a first zone, a second zone, and a third zone of the data signal. It is then determined which zone of the sampled data has a transition of the data signal and indicating a direction of change for the data sampling clock signal if the first zone or the third zone has the transition.

    摘要: A dual current path voltage controlled oscillator exhibits both the seamless frequency acquisition and uniform VCO gain reduction while preserving an original operating range and phase locked loop characteristics. The present invention provides a quad-channel transceiver comprising a phase locked loop circuit including a voltage controlled oscillator used to generate a clock signal, a FIFO buffer used to store data to be transmitted, a frequency comparator for comparing a reference clock to the generated clock signal from the phase locked loop circuit; and a folded starved inverter circuit contained within the voltage controlled oscillator wherein the folded starved inverter provides two current paths. The dual current paths allow for simultaneous coarse and fine phase tracking. With this low jitter performance and wide operating range, the quad transceiver may be implemented in 0.18-μm CMOS technology, and shows 10−12 bit error rate up to speeds of 3 Gbps.

    摘要: A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) generates an oscillating signal that is substantially resistant to noise fluctuations in the supply voltage. The VCO is a delay-based VCO which preferably includes a compensation circuit for each delay cell and a noise-immune reference current generator for providing a noise-immune bias current to the conditioning circuit of the VCO. The compensation circuit preferably adjusts the capacitance of the delay cell to compensate for the variations in current caused by the supply noise. The noise-immune reference current generator preferably utilizes a configuration of transistors which maintains through at least one transistor a substantially constant current which is used to bias the conditioning circuit.
