    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for equalizing a received signal. A received signal is equalized by updating one or more equalization parameters; and discarding the updated equalization parameters if one or more predefined qualifier conditions are detected during the equalizing step. The received signal can optionally be equalized using the updated equalization parameters if the predefined qualifier conditions are not detected during the equalizing step. The updated equalization parameters can optionally be stored if the one or more predefined qualifier conditions are not detected during the equalizing step.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for equalizing a received signal. A received signal is equalized by determining a data rate of the received signal; obtaining one or more equalization parameters associated with the determined data rate; and equalizing the received signal using the obtained one or more equalization parameters. The equalization parameters may comprise, for example, one or more of a gain parameter, zero control for a high pass filter and one or more threshold settings for one or more latches used during the equalizing step, such as data latches or transition latches (or both).

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for improved startup of a voltage controlled delay loop that has an injection clock and a return clock. A control signal is determined for a plurality of delay elements in a voltage controlled delay loop by obtaining a histogram count of a number of occurrences of at least one predefined logic value for a plurality of delay settings of the voltage controlled delay loop; determining a histogram count that approximately corresponds to an alignment of at least one edge in the injection and return clocks; and determining the control signal based on the determined histogram count that approximately corresponds to the alignment. The voltage controlled delay loop can be started using the determined control signal. The histogram count can be obtained for a plurality of PVT combinations and the control signal can then be determined for each PVT combination.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for decision-feedback equalization with global minimum convergence. A threshold position of one or more DFE latches employed by a decision-feedback equalizer is determined by obtaining a plurality of samples of a single-sided data eye using at least one decision latch and at least one roaming latch; comparing the samples obtained by the at least one decision latch and at least one roaming latch to identify an upper and lower voltage boundary of the single-sided data eye; and determining a threshold position of the one or more DFE latches based on the upper and lower voltage boundaries. The comparison can optionally comprise obtaining an exclusive or (XOR) of the samples obtained by the at least one decision latch and at least one roaming latch. The XOR comparison positions an opening for the single-sided data eye at a zero hit count

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting a loss of lock condition in a clock and data recovery system. A loss of lock condition is detected in a clock and data recovery system that generates a recovered clock signal from a received signal by sampling the received signal for a plurality of different phases using one or more latches clocked by the recovered clock; evaluating the samples to monitor a data eye associated with the received signal; and detecting the loss of lock condition if the data eye does not satisfy one or more predefined conditions. Generally, the predefined conditions identify a loss of the data eye (e.g., when the data eye cannot be substantially detected), for example, based on a degree of opening of the data eye. The clock and data recovery system can optionally be restarted if the loss of lock condition is detected.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for decision-feedback equalization with global minimum convergence. A threshold position of one or more DFE latches employed by a decision-feedback equalizer is determined by obtaining a plurality of samples of a single-sided data eye using at least one decision latch and at least one roaming latch; comparing the samples obtained by the at least one decision latch and at least one roaming latch to identify an upper and lower voltage boundary of the single-sided data eye; and determining a threshold position of the one or more DFE latches based on the upper and lower voltage boundaries. The comparison can optionally comprise obtaining an exclusive or (XOR) of the samples obtained by the at least one decision latch and at least one roaming latch. The XOR comparison positions an opening for the single-sided data eye at a zero hit count.
