    摘要: An integrated circuit like a programmable logic device (“PLD”) includes multiple channels of data communication circuitry. Circuitry is provided for selectively sharing signals (e.g., control-type signals) among these channels in groupings of various size so that the device can better support communication protocols that require various numbers of channels (e.g., one channel operating relatively independently, four channels working together, eight channels working together, etc.). The signals shared may include a clock signal, a FIFO write enable signal, a FIFO read enable signal, or the like. The circuit arrangements are preferably modular (i.e., the same or substantially the same from one channel to the next and/or from one group of channels to the next) to facilitate such things as circuit design and verification.

    摘要: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for providing a serial interface with shared datapaths. The apparatus and methods share or re-use components from multiple lower-speed datapaths so as to efficiently provide a higher-speed datapath. In one embodiment, physical coding sublayer circuitry of the lower-speed datapaths is also used by the higher-speed datapath. In another embodiment, physical media access circuitry of the lower-speed data paths is also used by the higher-speed datapath. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.

    摘要: A data converter, or “gearbox,” for a padded protocol interface can perform a number of different conversions—e.g., between 64 and 66 bits, between 24 and 26 bits, or between 48 and 50 bits. This is accomplished by clocking the gearbox at different clock speeds, all derived from the same master clock (which may be recovered from the data in a receiver embodiment) using programmable dividers that allow the user to select the clock speed. When the conversion is not that one with the maximum width for which the gearbox is designed, unused bits are ignored. The converter can also find padding bits, for alignment purposes, in data of different widths, again ignoring unused bits when the data are not the widest for which the converter is designed.
