    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: A programmable logic device includes high-speed serial interface (“HSSI”) circuitry that employs one or more clock signals. In addition to use of these clock signals in the HSSI circuitry, circuitry is provided for allowing at least one of these signals to be distributed throughout the PLD core circuitry, e.g., for use as an additional clock signal in the PLD core. Clock distribution is preferably done in a low-skew way.

    摘要: Serial data signal receiver circuitry for inclusion on a PLD includes a plurality of equalizer circuits that are connected in series and that are individually controllable so that collectively they can compensate for a wide range of possible input signal attenuation characteristics. Other circuit features may be connected in relation to the equalizer circuits to give the receiver circuitry other capabilities. For example, these other features may include various types of loop-back test circuits, controllable termination resistance, controllable common mode voltage, and a controllable threshold for detection of an input signal. Various aspects of control of the receiver circuitry may be programmable.

    摘要: Circuitry for distributing signals such as reference clock signals among blocks of transceiver circuitry on an integrated circuit such as a field programmable gate array (“FPGA”) employs bidirectional buffers rather than unidirectional buffers. This allows all buffers to have the same construction regardless of physical location, which facilitates construction of the circuitry using identical or substantially identical modules. The same approach may be used for distributing other types of signals among the transceiver blocks. For example, this approach may be used for distributing calibration control signals.

    摘要: Controllable delay circuitry is included in each channel of multi-channel, high-speed, serial transmitter and/or receiver circuitry to compensate for or to at least help compensate for possible skew (different signal propagation time) between the various channels. In systems employing CDR circuitry, the delay circuitry may be at least partly controlled by a signal derived from the CDR circuitry to make the amount of delay effected by the delay circuitry at least partly responsive to changes in data rate detected by the CDR circuitry.
