摘要： A serial interface for a programmable logic device can be used as a conventional high-speed quad interface, but also allows an individual channel, if not otherwise being used, to be programmably configured as a loop circuit (e.g., a phase-locked loop). This is accomplished by disabling the data loop of clock-data recovery circuitry in the channel, and reconfiguring the reference loop to operate as a loop circuit. In addition, instead of providing a high-speed quad interface having four channels and one or more clock management units (CMUs), a more flexible interface having five or more channels can be provided, and when it is desired to use the interface as a high-speed quad interface, one or more channels can be configured as loop circuits to function as CMUs.

摘要： Methods and circuits are provided for producing phase-adjusted pre-emphasis and equalization. In applications in which little or no phase distortion occurs during signal transmission, propagation, or reception, linear-phase pre-emphasis or equalization can be used to reduce or eliminate phase distortion introduced by the pre-emphasis or equalization. Linear phase, constant group delay FIR filters or circuits may have odd numbers of coefficients symmetrical about the middle coefficient. In applications in which signal phase distortion occurs, linear phase or non-linear phase pre-emphasis or equalization can be used to reduce or compensate for the phase distortion. Phase compensation may be effected using FIR pre-emphasis and equalization filters and circuits. Non-linear phase FIR filters may have different numbers and combinations of coefficients.

The structure preferably includes an input buffer that is formed from a PMOS differentiated pair of transistors and a first supply voltage. The PMOS differential pair receives a pair of differential inputs, and produces a pair of differential outputs. The structure also includes a level shifter that is coupled to receive the pair of differential outputs from the input buffer to provide gain to the pair of differential outputs to form a gained pair of differential outputs. The level shifter that includes a second supply voltage. The second supply voltage may have a smaller magnitude than the first supply voltage.

摘要： A charge pump circuit includes a current mirror circuit of current-sourcing and current-sinking FETs and a current steering circuit of cross coupled differential pairs of FETs. Nominal current flowing in the current-sourcing and current-sinking FETs is set. The current is for charging and discharging a capacitor of an external filter. During charging of the capacitor, the current through the current-sourcing FET is directed to the capacitor and the current through the current-sinking FET is directed from a low impedance voltage source. During discharging of the filter capacitor, the current through the current-sourcing FET is directed to the low impedance voltage source and the current through the current-sinking FET is directed from the capacitor. The current flowing in the current-sourcing and current-sinking FETs is nominally constant, regardless of the tri-state condition, charging or discharging, with the result that power supply noise is reduced. Current change in the power supply rails is reduced when switching from current-sourcing to current-sinking or vice versa. By using cascode FETs in both of the current-sourcing and current-sinking FET circuits, power supply noise rejection is improved.

摘要： Charge pump circuitry is provided that is insensitive to charge sharing and current mismatch effects. The charge pump circuitry has an output node at which a charge pump output voltage is provided. A first current source charges the output node to increase the output voltage or a second current source discharge the output node to decrease the output voltage. The charge pump circuitry uses a unit-gain op-amp circuit to prevent charge sharing effects from affecting the output voltage when switching between discharging and charging operations. A low-pass filter is used to reduce feedback noise on the output node. A replica feedback circuit prevents current mismatch between the currents produced by the first and second current sources. The first and second current sources may be formed using programmable transistors that are adjusted by static control signals provided by programmable elements to further minimize current mismatch.

摘要： A dual-mode LVDS/CML transmitter allows a single circuit to operate as either an LVDS transmitter or a CML transmitter. The transmitter mode can be switched by activating or deactivating appropriate circuit elements, and changing the voltage or current produced by appropriate sources or sinks. This flexibility allows a single transmitter to operate well in both AC and DC coupling conditions, and facilitates interoperation with a greater variety of receivers.

摘要： Voltage controlled oscillator (“VCO”) circuitry includes LC tank or ring VCO circuitry and frequency divider circuitry that divides the frequency output by the oscillator circuitry by a selectable integer factor that is at least 2 in the case of a ring oscillator or at least 4 in the case of an LC tank oscillator. This arrangement allows the oscillator circuitry to operate at frequencies that are higher than the desired final output frequencies, which has such advantages as reducing the size and power consumption of the oscillator circuitry, and allowing the circuitry as a whole to have a wide range of operating frequencies while reducing the frequency range over which the oscillator circuitry may be required to operate.

摘要： Circuitry is provided that conditions a differential input signal such that when the signal is received by a multi-standard differential input buffer, the buffer is able to process the conditioned signal without pronounced increases in propagation delay, thereby keeping signal jitter to a minimum. The circuitry further enables input buffers to operate according to desired operating parameters even when the supply voltage powering the input buffer is relatively low. The circuitry operates by shifting the common-mode voltage to a range that puts the input buffer in a favorable common-mode voltage range of operation. The circuitry may be coupled with a programmably controlled amplifier that amplifies the amplitude of the conditioned differential signal prior to being received by the input buffer. Amplifying the signal prevents problems typically associated with data-dependent jitter and intersymbol interference by boosting the voltage amplitude to a level that is readily processed by the input buffer.
