摘要： One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that operatively couples an integrated circuit with a microstrip transmission line through chip lamination. The system includes a first semiconductor die containing the integrated circuit, and a second semiconductor die containing the microstrip transmission line. Unlike metal lines in the integrated circuit, which have relatively small cross-sections, the microstrip transmission line has a cross-section that is large enough so that signal propagation is governed by inductance and capacitance (LC) instead of resistance and capacitance (RC). The first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die are laminated together so that the integrated circuit on the first semiconductor die is operatively coupled with the microstrip transmission line in the second semiconductor die.

摘要： A phase-interpolator circuit is described. In the phase-interpolator circuit, an output signal, having a fundamental frequency and a phase, is generated based on a weighted summation of a first reference signal and a second reference signal, where the first reference signal has the fundamental frequency and a first phase, and the second reference signal has the same fundamental frequency and a second phase. Note that contributions of the first reference signal and the second reference signal, respectively, to the output signal are determined based on associated first and second impedance values in a weighting circuit in the phase-interpolator circuit. For example, a programmable capacitance ratio of two capacitors may be used to interpolate between the first reference signal and the second reference signal. Additionally, the phase-interpolator circuit may include a biasing circuit that provides a DC bias to the weighting circuit, and which amplifies the output of the weighting circuit to provide the output signal.

摘要： A multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL) is described. In the MDLL, a phase interpolator (PI) provides a correction signal to selection control logic by phase mixing two internal signals (which have different phases) from a sequence of delay elements in the MDLL. This correction signal compensates for a delay associated with the selection control logic, thereby ensuring that a selection pulse or signal output by the selection control logic to a selection circuit (such as a multiplexer) is appropriately timed so that the selection circuit can selectively injection lock the sequence of delay elements using edges in a reference signal.

摘要： A repeater circuit, such as a clock regeneration and multiplication circuit, is described. In this repeater circuit, a clock multiplier unit (CMU) generates an internal clock signal based on a forwarded clock signal, which is received on a link. Furthermore, a phase interpolator (PI) in the repeater circuit provides the output clock signal based on the forwarded clock signal and the internal clock signal. Note that the CMU and the PI filter reduce the cycle-to-cycle jitter in the forwarded clock signal and the internal clock signal, and that the output clock signal has a phase that is a weighted average of the phases of the forwarded clock signal and the internal clock signal. In addition, the relative weights of the forwarded clock signal and the internal clock signal (i.e., the amount of phase averaging and jitter filtering) may be adjusted based on a position or location on the link.

摘要： A method for calibrating an offset voltage of an amplifier used to amplify capacitively coupled communication signals is described. During this process, a common voltage is applied to one or more inputs to the amplifier. Next, an output of the amplifier is iteratively, measured, and charge is applied to the one or more inputs until the offset voltage is less than a pre-determined value. Note that applying the charge may involve applying a sequence of one or more charge pulses.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that reduces power consumption by using capacitive coupling to perform a majority detection operation. The system starts by driving a plurality of signals onto a plurality of driven wires. The signals are then fed from each driven wire through a corresponding coupling capacitor to a single majority detection wire. Next, the system feeds signal on the majority detection wire and a bias voltage to a differential receiver. The output of the differential receiver switches if the signal on the majority-detection wire switches relative to the bias voltage. The system then uses the output of the differential receiver to optimize the signals from the plurality of driven wires for transmission across a long signal route. Optimizing the transmission of signals reduces the power consumed by the computer system.
