    摘要: A data receiver circuit having a comparator that exhibits substantially variable offset that is controllable to represent a variable reference level, without a separate input to receive a reference voltage level. The comparator output provides an indication of the comparison between a fixed voltage level applied to its differential signal input and the variable reference level. While changing an offset code that is fed to an offset control input of the comparator, and while applying a fixed voltage level that represents a symbol in the transmission line analog signal, a value of the offset code which causes the output of the comparator to change states is captured. A similar process may be repeated for different symbol values that can be transmitted, such that an indication of the voltage margin may be obtained as a difference between two captured offset codes. Circuitry to perform the process may be provided on-chip to the receiver circuit.

    摘要: In an electronic system having first and second logic devices, a free running on-chip clock signal is generated by the first logic device, where the signal has a frequency that is controlled to match that of a global free-running clock signal received by both devices. The on-chip clock signal is synchronized to a strobe signal received by the first device and that was transmitted in association with a data signal by the second device. A logic function is repeatedly performed as synchronized by the first clock signal, to repeatedly generate one or more bits from the data signal.

    摘要: A biased control loop for setting the impedance of an output driver includes a dummy driver having a variable output impedance, a sample and compare circuit to compare the output impedance of dummy output driver to a reference, and an up/down counter to modify the impedance. When the loop is locked, an error signal alternates positive and negative about a reference value. A digital filter produces a filtered version of the error signal with an apparent error value that does not alternate. The digital filter has a biased lock circuit that guarantees that the apparent error does not alternate. A simultaneous bidirectional port includes an output driver and the biased control loop to set the output driver impedance. When the output driver drives a bidirectional line and serves as a termination impedance for another driver, the reduced apparent error variation provides improved impedance matching.

    摘要: A frequency control unit has an input to receive a digital downstream strobe signal and an output to provide a controlled delay to the input strobe signal. A downstream latch has a data input to receive a digital downstream data signal and a clock input coupled to the output of the frequency control unit. The controlled delay is essentially equal to a set up time of the latch. A delay element coupled to the output of the frequency control unit further delays the downstream strobe signal by essentially a propagation time of the latch. Output drivers are coupled to the outputs of the latch and the delay element.
