    Abstract: A method is presented that monitors the quality of a communications channel. The method includes receiving a data signal and establishing a zero reference phase of the received data signal. The method further includes generating a phase-shifted data signal by phase shifting the received data signal relative to the zero reference phase, and sampling the phase-shifted data signal for one or more phase-shift positions. A zero reference phase is reestablished between sampling at each of the phase-shift positions. The method also includes detecting bit errors in the phase-shifted data signal at each of the phase-shift positions in order to provide a communications channel quality measurement. In an embodiment, the method includes generating an eye diagram according to a count of detected bit errors relative to a count of detected bits. The eye diagram characterizes the quality of the communications channel.

    Abstract: An automatic polarity swap is implemented in a communications system. Two or more transceivers having differential inputs and outputs are coupled together through an interface, such as a backplane to form a communications system. In such a configuration, it is possible to cross-connect the differential data lines or signals at the interface, which will cause invalid data words to received at the second transceiver. Accordingly, the present invention includes an error check and correction module that detects invalid data words after parallel-to-serial conversion. More specifically, an error check determines if the parallel differential signal represents a valid data word. This can be done, for example, by storing and comparing valid data words in a memory such as RAM. If the received data word is valid, then no corrective action is taken. However, if the received data word is invalid, then the parallel differential signal is inverted using a logic circuit, which will correct the error if it is due to cross-connection of the differential lines at the interface or anywhere else.

    Abstract: In conventional Backplane Ethernet systems, data is transmitted over two pairs of copper traces in one direction using a PAM-2 scheme and a baud rate of 10.3125 GHz, giving an effective bit rate of 10.3125 Gbps. The rate at which data can be transmitted in Backplane Ethernet systems, while still being reliably received, is typically limited by ISI caused by the dispersive nature of the copper traces, frequency dependent transmission losses caused primarily by skin effect and dielectric loss of the copper traces, and cross-talk from adjacent communication lines. The present invention is directed to systems for overcoming these and other signal impairments to achieve speeds up to, and beyond, twice the conventional 10 Gbps limit associated with Backplane Ethernet systems.

    Abstract: A system is presented that monitors the quality of a communications channel with mirror receivers. A first receiver and a second receiver, coupled in parallel with the first receiver, receive a data signal transmitted over the communications channel. The second receiver generates an output signal. A signal integrity (SI) processor manipulates the output signal in order to determine the quality of the communications channel. The SI processor samples a phase-shifted version of the output signal, which has a phase shifted relative to a zero reference phase, and analyzes the phase-shifted version of the output signal for bit errors. In an embodiment, the SI processor manipulates the output signal to extract an eye diagram indicative of the quality of the communications channel. The SI processor non-intrusively determines the quality of the communications channel using the second receiver.
