    摘要: A frequency synthesis circuit includes a phase locked loop and an interpolator circuit. The phase locked loop circuit receives a reference clock and a feedback clock and generates an output clock with a frequency based on the reference clock and the feedback clock. An interpolator circuit is coupled in the feedback path of the phase locked loop circuit. An interpolator control circuit generates an interpolator control word that specifies a variable time delay for the interpolator circuit. The interpolator circuit receives the output clock, and generates the feedback clock by introducing a variable time delay in the output clock in accordance with the interpolator control word. The time variable delay varies the frequency of the output circuit. Embodiments for frequency synthesis circuits that include a spread spectrum frequency clock generator, frequency modulators, and a fixed frequency clock generator circuit are disclosed.

    摘要: A circuit for clocking includes an input data path, a receiver, a set of flip-flops, at least one interpolator and a controller. The receiver is coupled to the input data path for receiving input data. The flip-flops, coupled to the receiver, sample the input data. A first interpolator, coupled to one or more of the flip-flops, receives the sampled input data. The controller, coupled to the first interpolator, controls the first interpolator by providing phase information regarding the input data to the first interpolator. The circuit reduces any jitter transferred from the input path to an output path.

    摘要: Data and clock synchronization within a gigabit receiver is maintained throughout the data byte processing logic of the receiver by utilizing the same byte clock signal. The deserialization clock signal that is used to deserialize the received serial data stream is phase coherent with the distributed byte clock signal used within the physical coding sublayer (PCS), thus establishing reliable data transfer across the physical media attachment (PMA) and PCS layers of the gigabit receiver while maintaining a known, fixed latency. The phase relationship between a derived bit clock signal and the byte clock signal is shifted in a manner that achieves coarse data alignment within each data byte without affecting the latency. Conversely, the coarse data alignment is combined with a data alignment toggling procedure to reduce data alignment granularity with minimized latency changes.

    摘要: A calibration and adjustment system for post-fabrication control of a delay locked loop charge pump current is provided. The calibration and adjustment system includes an adjustment device that varies an amount of charge pump current. Such control of the charge pump current in a delay locked loop allows a designer to achieve a desired delay locked loop operating characteristic after the delay locked loop has been fabricated. A representative value of the amount of adjustment desired in the charge pump current may be stored and subsequently read to adjust the delay locked loop.
