摘要： A current mode transfer logic system suitable for driving transmission lines is disclosed. In one embodiment a twisted pair transmission line is terminated in its characteristic line impedance. A signal is formed of two unequal currents, preferably of different polarities as well as magnitudes, that are driven down the two lines. The unequal currents are selectively switched between the two lines creating a logic signal of a differential current drive of unequal current magnitudes. The unequal currents are received and shunted from the distal end of each line via diode connected MOS transistors. The MOS transistors are biased to present a low impedance, but an impedance higher than the terminating resistor. The currents are amplified and converted to useable CMOS voltage levels. In another embodiment the twisted pair is replaced by two parallel transmission lines which are terminated in one resistor, equal to the sum of the characteristic impedances of each line. The terminating resistor is connected between the distal signal carrying conductors of each transmission line. The shields or return paths for each line are tied together at the distal and at the proximate (drive) ends of the line.

摘要： A folded common cascode circuit with symmetric parallel signal paths from the differential inputs to a single ended output provides a low skew, low jitter, low power, high speed differential in/out amplifier. There is a differential input stage followed by a load or current summation stage with all gates tied together, and then a second differential stage. The dynamic voltage range of the second stage allows for lower Vcc operation while providing improved jitter operation. The signal paths on either side of the differential amplifier are made equal with equal loads along each path. Pairs of complementary NMOS and PMOS transistor pairs with parallel complementary biasing current mirroring stacks on the cascode circuitry have all their gates connected together. The layout maintains symmetrical parallel signal paths and symmetrical amplification and impedance loading from differential input to the differential output. Output inverters provide a higher drive capability.

摘要： A method for training the lanes of a main data link includes setting an initial lane voltage swing and conducting link at the initial value, and determining if link training was successful. If link training at the initial value of lane voltage swing was not successful, the value of lane voltage swing is incremented to a predetermined value. A determination is made as to whether the predetermined value of lane voltage swing exceeds a threshold value, and link training is ended if the predetermined value of lane voltage exceeds the threshold value. If the predetermined value of lane voltage swing does not exceed the threshold value, link training is conducted at the predetermined value of lane voltage swing until link training is successful or until a predetermined number of attempts at the predetermined value of lane voltage swing fail to successfully train the link.

摘要： A system and method are described for receiving differential currents in a current mode circuit. When conditions occur where the receiver inputs are floating, undriven, shorted together, or one or both shorted to ground, the output of the system remains stable. Diode connected MOS transistors receive the unequal currents, and current mirrors amplify the received currents. Those amplified mirrored currents are differentially amplified and converted into voltage signals suitable of typical computer and logic systems. The current mode differential nature of the invention provides high common mode current and voltage noise immunity. A threshold for the unequal currents helps provide high differential current and voltage noise immunity.
