    摘要: A receiver serial data streams generates a local timing reference clock from an approximate frequency reference clock by phase-aligning the local clock to transitions in the data stream. This process is commonly known as clock and data recovery (CDR). Certain transitions of the data signals are selected for use in phase-aligning the local clock, and certain transitions are ignored. Phase-error signals from multiple receivers receiving the multiple serial data streams are combined and used to make common phase adjustments to the frequency reference clock. These common adjustments track jitter that is common to the received data streams. Local adjustments that better align each respective local clock to the transitions of its respective serial data stream are made using a local phase-error signal. These local adjustments track jitter that is more unique to each of the respective serial data streams.

    摘要: A transmitting device includes an output node, at least one driver circuit and transition equalization circuitry. The driver circuit drives an output data signal including a data transition onto the output node. The output of the transition equalization circuitry is coupled to the output node. The transition equalization circuitry begins to drive the output node at the data transition and ends driving of the output node a pre-determined delay after beginning to drive the output node. The transition equalization circuitry drives the output node by injecting current onto the output node if the data transition is a positive transition, and sinking current from the output node if the data transition is a negative transition.

    摘要: An on-chip AC coupled receiver with offset calibration. The receiver includes AC coupling circuitry to couple a differential input signal into a coupled differential signal having a first signal and a second signal. The receiver includes a first comparator to generate a first error signal indicative of whether a first reference signal is greater or smaller than a signal derived from the coupled differential signal. The receiver includes a second comparator to generate a second error signal indicative of whether a second reference signal is greater or smaller than the signal derived from the coupled differential signal. The receiver further includes feedback circuitry to adjust a voltage offset between the first signal and the second signal of the coupled differential signal based on the first error signal and the second error signal.

    摘要: An on-chip AC coupled receiver with baseline wander compensation. The receiver may be used for either single ended or differential signals. The receiver includes an input terminal to receive an input signal. AC coupling circuitry is between the input terminal and a node and couples the input signal into a coupled signal at the node. A control loop senses low frequency signal content at the node and uses a linear buffer in adjusting the coupled signal at the node based on the low frequency signal content. The operation of the control loop compensates for potential baseline wander in the coupled signal. An input stage to recovers data from the coupled signal at the node.
