    摘要: Various methods and structures related to clock distribution for flexible channel bonding are disclosed. One embodiment provides a clock network in physical media attachment (“PMA”) circuitry, a specific type or portion of system interconnect circuitry, arranged in pairs of channel groups. In one embodiment, clock generation circuitry blocks (“CGBs”) in each pair of channel groups receives outputs of multiple phased locked loop circuits (“PLLs”) which can be selectively utilized by the CGBs to generate PMA clock signals. In another embodiment, the CGBs can also select output of a clock data recovery (“CDR”)/transmit PLL circuitry block in one of the channels of a channel group of the pair of channel groups. In one embodiment, first groups of connection lines couple circuitry in a channel group pair such that a designated CGB in each channel group pair can provide clock signals to one or more of the channels in the channel group pair. In one embodiment, second groups of connection lines connect channels in one channel group pair to channels in other channel group pairs such that one or more channels across the channel group pairs can receive a clock signal generated by a CGB in a designated channel. These and other embodiments are described more fully in the disclosure.

    摘要: A loss-of-signal detector includes digital and analog monitoring of incoming data. The incoming signal is compared digitally to at least one predetermined pattern that may indicate a loss of signal, and also is monitored by an analog detector that detects transitions in the data. If the digital comparison fails to match any of the at least one predetermined pattern, or if transitions are detected by the analog monitoring, even if the digital comparison produces a pattern match, then loss of signal is not indicated.

    摘要: An integrated circuit device such as a programmable logic device (“PLD”) includes a plurality of blocks of legacy circuitry. These legacy blocks leave at least one corner of the device unoccupied by such legacy circuitry. This at least one corner is used for relatively newly developed circuitry so as to simplify and speed the design of relatively new circuitry, to avoid having to significantly redesign any of the legacy circuitry to give the device the capabilities of the new circuitry, etc. The relatively newly developed circuitry may be high-speed serial data signal interface (“HSSI”) circuitry that is capable of operating at serial data rates faster than any legacy HSSI circuitry on the device.

    摘要: Signal detection circuitry for a serial interface oversamples the input—i.e., samples the input multiple times per clock cycle—so that the likelihood of missing a signal is reduced. Sampling may be done with a regenerative latch which has a large bandwidth and can latch a signal at high speed. The amplitude threshold for detection may be programmable, particularly in a programmable device. Thus, between the use of a regenerative latch which is likely to catch any signal that might be present, and the use of oversampling to avoid the problem of sampling at the wrong time, the likelihood of failing to detect a signal is greatly diminished. Logic, such as a state machine, may be used to determine whether the samples captured s do or do not represent a signal. That logic may be programmable, allowing a user to set various parameters for signal detection.
