摘要:
Deserializer circuitry for high-speed serial data receiver circuitry on a programmable logic device (“PLD”) or the like includes circuitry for converting serial data to parallel data having any of several data widths. The circuitry can also operate at any frequency in a wide range of frequencies. The circuitry is configurable/re-configurable in various respects, at least some of which configuration/re-configuration can be dynamically controlled (i.e., during user-mode operation of the PLD).

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.

A circuit includes first and second aligner circuits and a deskew circuit. The first aligner circuit is operable to align a first input serial data signal with a control signal to generate a first aligned serial data signal. The second aligner circuit is operable to align a second input serial data signal with the control signal to generate a second aligned serial data signal. The deskew circuit is operable to reduce skew between the first and the second aligned serial data signals to generate first and second output serial data signals.

An integrated circuit includes a local clock network that is operable to provide a first clock signal and an interface circuit that is coupled to receive the first clock signal from the local clock network. The interface circuit is operable to generate a second clock signal based on the first clock signal. A clock line is coupled to the interface circuit. The clock line has a fixed length. The second clock signal is provided to a multiplexer circuit through the clock line. The multiplexer circuit provides a third clock signal based on the second clock signal. Another clock network is coupled to receive the third clock signal from the multiplexer circuit.

摘要:
A skew-tolerant, glitch-free reset distribution apparatus and method are provided in an intellectual property (IP) block that supports a multi-channel input/output protocol. During reset mode, synchronizers are used to create more predictable timing, to pipeline the propagation delay, and to tolerate RC-induced skews of up to a clock period in routing a reset signal to all the channels and within the channels in an IP block. Two control signals, which are available from programmable logic resource core circuitry, are used to control the input of the reset signal into the IP block. Because the control signals are designed to be glitch-free, the reset signal is therefore also glitch-free, thus preventing the IP block from inadvertently transitioning into or out of reset mode.
