    摘要: Embodiments for reference-less voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) calibration are provided. Embodiments include a VCO calibration module which uses one or more signals from a frequency detector to automatically select a proper VCO band and bring the VCO clock frequency close enough to the data rate. The VCO calibration module uses a calibration code to calibrate the VCO. In embodiments, the calibration code is determined using a frequency search scheme, which includes a discovery phase to determine the proper VCO band, and a binary search phase and a monitoring phase to select the calibration code that brings the VCO clock frequency closest to the data rate.

    摘要: A timing recovery circuit comprises a data-driven phase detector and a digital loop filter. The data-driven phase detector is operably coupled to determine at least a phase difference between an input signal and a feedback clock signal to produce a difference signal. Determining the phase difference can comprise digitally determining a timing difference between the input signal and the feedback clock signal, digitally determining a transition of the input signal to produce a transition detect signal, and digitally updating the timing difference based on the transition detect signal and the feedback clock signal. The timing difference can be digitally updated by pre-filtering the timing difference BY TAKING EVERY N TRANSITON OR AVERAGE OF EVERY N TRANSITIONS at a digital pre-filter, based on a pre-filter clock signal produced from the transition detect signal and the feedback clock signal, to produce the difference signal. The loop filter is operably coupled to filter the difference signal to produce a control voltage.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for an automatic gain control (AGC) loop that utilizes multiple comparators to provide constant bandwidth tracking and step response, as well as fine granularity for decision directed convergence. In one embodiment, an odd number of comparators is used with square-law scaling at the output to achieve constant bandwidth step response for a wide range of input amplitude changes.

    摘要: A gating logic receives a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) input signal and couples the NRZ input signal as an NRZ output signal when operating in a NRZ mode of operation and converts the NRZ input signal to a return-to-zero (RZ) output signal when operating in a RZ mode of operation. A circuit coupled to the gating logic receives a clock signal and couples the clock signal to the gating logic to convert the NRZ input signal to the RZ output signal in the RZ mode of operation. In the NRZ mode of operation, the circuit decouples the clock signal and places a predetermined signal state at the gating logic to pass through the NRZ input signal as the NRZ output signal. The circuit receives a select signal to select between the NRZ and RZ modes of operation and the NRZ and RZ modes are obtained by controlling the clock signal to the gating logic.
