摘要:
A serializer-deserializer instantiated in configurable logic of an integrated circuit is described. The serializer-deserializer includes an input deserializer and an output serializer, which may be commonly coupled via an input/output pad. Each of the serializer and deserializer may be configured for an operating mode selected from a Single Data Rate mode and a Double Data Rate mode. The serializer-deserializer may be used as part of a synchronous interface.

Method and apparatus for a bimodal serial to parallel converter is provided. A first stage of registers is clocked responsive to a clock signal, such as a forwarded clock signal of a synchronous interface. The first stage of registers is configurable in either a single serial shift chain or two serial shift chains. The former configuration is for Single Data Rate (“SDR”) data, and the latter configuration is for Double Data Rate (“DDR”) data. A bitslip controller is configured to provide a control select signal to selection circuitry. For DDR operation, the control signal is for selecting respective portions of outputs from the two serial shift chains for providing to a second stage of registers. For DDR operation, the second stage of registers is alternatively clocked responsive to a divided down version of the clock signal and another divided down version of the clock signal which is periodically stopped.

An input/output (I/O) structure includes a delay element usable for the input path, the output path, or both input and output paths in a user design. In a first mode, the delay element is included in the input path. In a second mode, the delay element is included in the output path. In a third mode, the I/O structure includes the delay in both outgoing signal paths and incoming signal paths, e.g., by utilizing an output tristate signal to control the direction of the delay line. When the output buffer is driving, the delay is inserted in the output path. When the output buffer is tristated, the delay is inserted in the input path. Thus, a single delay element is dynamically shared by both input and output signals that use the same I/O pad. In an optional fourth mode, the delay element is bypassed by both input and output signals.

A system for controlling the impedances of circuits on an integrated circuit chip is provided. At least one circuit is selected to operate as a p-channel reference circuit, and at least one circuit is selected to operate as an n-channel reference circuit. Other circuits are selected to operate as circuits and/or line termination circuits. A digitally controlled impedance (DCI) circuit controls the p-channel reference circuit to determine a desired configuration of p-channel transistors for use in the circuits. The DCI circuit further controls the n-channel reference circuit to determine a desired configuration of n-channel transistors for use in the circuits. The DCI circuit takes into account such factors as resistances of p-channel transistors in the p-channel reference circuit, resistances of n-channel transistors in the n-channel reference circuit, as well as temperature, voltage and process variations. The DCI circuit relays information identifying the desired configurations of the n-channel and p-channel transistors to the circuits. The circuits are then configured in response to this information.

Calcium-phosphate nanofiber matrices comprising randomly dispersed crystalline calcium-phosphate nanofibers are provided. The nanofibers are synthesized using sol-gel methods combined with electrospinning. The nanofibers may be hollow, solid or may comprise a calcium-phosphate shell surrounding a polymer containing inner core to which biologically functional additives may be added. The nanofiber matrices may be used to culture bone and dental cells, and as implants to treat bone, dental or periodontal diseases and defects.
