    摘要: An apparatus and method to improve bandwidth and reduce phase error in a tracking receiver is presented. According to one embodiment, an apparatus is presented comprising a phase comparator to generate indications based on a phase of a local clock signal and transitions in a stream of received data, an electoral loop filter to generate a phase shift signal based on the indications received from the phase comparator in a time interval, and a local clock controller to adjust the local clock signal based on the signal asserted from the electoral loop filter. The phase shift signal is either a phase increment signal or a phase decrement signal that is issued according to the majority of either increment indications or decrement indications received during the time interval.

    摘要: A receiving device within a digital electronic system includes a sampling unit, a voter block, and a local clock phase adjustment unit. The sampling unit samples an input line at three points in time at intervals of one half of a bit period. The sampling unit delivers the values obtained in the sampling process to the voter block. The voter block determines whether to deliver an up or a down vote to the local clock phase adjustment unit. The voter block communicates with the local clock phase adjustment unit via up and down control signals. The local clock phase adjustment unit determines whether the local clock phase should be adjusted, and if so, whether to advance or delay the local clock phase. If certain meta-stable conditions are observed by the voter block, the voter block will vote in one direction in order to push the system out of the meta-stable condition.

    摘要: In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes an apparatus having an averager to receive differential output voltages of a transmitter and generate an average transmitter output voltage. A comparator is to compare the average transmitter output voltage to a reference voltage and generate a difference therebetween. An integrator is to integrate the difference between the average transmitter output voltage and the reference voltage over time. The integrated difference is fed back to the transmitter to bias the transmitter.

    摘要: A circuit board may include first and second sides, a plurality of circuit board layers between the sides, and a plurality of signal traces located in respective circuit board layers. The circuit board layers and the signal traces may extend from a first component connection region at the first side of the circuit board to a second component connection region at the first side of the circuit board. The signal traces may thus form stubless signal paths through the circuit board between the component connection regions. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for a linearized output driver and terminator is described. In one embodiment the method includes forming a gate electrode on a substrate, the portion of the substrate covered by the gate electrode defining a channel. The method further includes forming a first source/drain doped region on laterally opposed sides of the gate electrode in the substrate. The method also includes forming a spacer on laterally opposed sides of the gate electrode on the substrate. The method also includes forming a linearized drain contact region at a location within the first source/drain doped region sufficiently distant from the gate electrode to define a series resistor in the first source/drain doped region disposed between the gate electrode and the linearized drain contact area based on an expected resistivity of the source/drain doped region, the series resistor coupled electrically to the channel.

    摘要: A pre-driver circuit includes a first stage to generate a first pre-driver signal and a second stage to generate a second pre-driver signal. The first and second stages are to generate the first and second pre-driver signals to cross at a point which reduces rise-and-fall mismatch in differential signal outputs from a current-mode driver.
