An adaptive equalizer finite impulse response (FIR) filter for high-speed communication channels with modest complexity, where the filter is iteratively updated during a training sequence by a circuit performing the update: {overscore (h)}(t+1)={overscore (h)}(t)+μ[sgn{d(t)}−sgn{z(t)−Kd(t)}]sgn{{overscore (x)}(t)}, where {overscore (h)}(t) is the filter vector representing the filter taps of the FIR filter, {overscore (x)}(t) is the data vector representing present and past samples of the received data x(t), d(t) is the desired data used for training, z(t) is the output of the FIR filter, μ determines the memory or window size of the adaptation, and K is a scale factor taking into account practical limitations of the communication channel, receiver, and equalizer. Furthermore, a procedure and circuit structure is provided for calibrating the scale factor K.
摘要:
A novel circuit technique for reducing leakage currents through the read-path of large register files in which a negative gate-source voltage is forced on a critical pass transistor between a cell read transistor and a local bitline such that when the cell is in a first state, the leakage current from a dynamic node of the cell read transistor is reduced. The reduced leakage current increases the robustness and performance of the read operation.

Embodiments of methods and apparatus for clock and data recovery are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method for recovering data from an input data stream of a device is disclosed, the method comprising synchronizing, during an initialization phase, a data clock (DCK) with an input data stream; synchronizing, during the initialization phase, an edge clock signal (ECK) with the input data stream based at least in part on a phase relationship between the ECK and the synchronized DCK; and sampling, during the initialization phase, a rising edge of the input data stream with the synchronized ECK to generate a transition level reference voltage. Additional variants and embodiments may also be disclosed and claimed.

A reconfigurable transceiver is claimed for a wide range of I/O systems. The reconfigurable transmitter of the reconfigurable transceiver is capable of transmitting multi-level signals in single-ended and differential modes by current and voltage mode signaling. The signal for transmission can be pre-emphasized for all transmitting modes. The reconfigurable transceiver can dynamically scale bandwidth and power consumption based on performance metrics.
摘要:
In some embodiments, an adaptive filter employs two adaptation modes, where during one adaptation mode the adaptive filter is updated only when the received training sample is a first binary value and during the other adaptation mode the adaptive filter is updated only when the received sample is a second binary value. Each adaptation mode provides a set of filter weights, and these two sets of filter weights are averaged to provide an adapted set of filter weights. The use of two adaptation mode allows for a clock boundary in which the digital portion of the filter operates at a lower clock rate than the analog portion. In other embodiments, a filter architecture is described for providing the algebraic signs of the received data samples, important for sign-sign least means square filtering algorithms. In other embodiments, a filter architecture is described in which efficient use is made of voltage-to-current converters so as to achieve a high throughput rate during filtering. Embodiments of the present invention have application to channel equalization.
