    摘要: A pre-driver circuit generates a driver bias signal based on a swing command, a driver impedance characteristic, and an input signal. A driver receives the driver bias signal and generates, in response, a driver signal having a swing and having an output impedance corresponding to the bias signal. Optionally, the driver receives power from a switchable one of multiple supply rails, according to the swing. Optionally, the driver has voltage controlled resistor elements and the driver bias signal is generated based on the swing command and a replica of the driver voltage controlled resistor elements.

    摘要: System and method for testing a high speed data path without generating a high speed bit clock, includes selecting a first high speed data path from a plurality of data paths for testing. Coherent clock data patterns are driven on one or more of remaining data paths of the plurality of data paths, wherein the coherent clock data patterns are in coherence with a low speed base clock. The first high speed data path is sampled by the coherent clock data patterns to generate a sampled first high speed data path, which is then tested at a speed of the low speed base clock.

    摘要: Systems and methods for automatic detection and compensation of frequency offset in point-to-point communication. A burst mode clock and data recovery (CDR) system comprises input data received at a first frequency and a reference clock operating at a second frequency. A master phase-locked loop (PLL) comprising a first gated voltage controlled oscillator (GVCO) is configured to align the phases of reference clock and the input data, and provide phase error information and a recovered clock. A second GVCO is controlled by the recovered clock to sample the input data. A frequency alignment loop comprising a feedback path from the second GVCO to the master PLL is configured to use the phase error information to correct a frequency offset between the first frequency and the second frequency.

    摘要: A method of calibrating a phase-locked loop (PLL) while maintaining lock includes detecting that a control signal to an oscillator in a PLL has exceeded a threshold value while the PLL is locked to an input signal. In response, an operating current of the oscillator is adjusted to return the control signal below the threshold value while maintaining lock of the PLL to the input signal. Adjusting the operating current includes slowly varying an output current of a calibration circuit coupled to the PLL, enabling the PLL to maintain lock to the input signal during adjustment of the operating current.

Each of the second set of control signals has a second rail voltage level that is associated with a second power domain. The second power domain is associated with a common mode voltage of outputs of an output driver.
