    摘要: An apparatus and method for low latency power management on a serial data link are described. In one embodiment, the method includes the detection of an electrical idle exit condition during receiver operation in an electrical idle state. Once detected, data synchronization is performed according to one or more received data synchronization training patterns. Finally, when the synchronization is performed within a determined synchronization re-establishment period, the receiver will resume operation according to a normal power state. Accordingly, the embodiment described illustrates an open loop, low latency power resumption operation for power management within 3GIO links.

    摘要: A fast lock scheme for phase locked loops and delay locked loops, where apparatus, systems, and methods include a startup circuit that is enabled at the beginning of a startup mode and is disabled upon a phase transition detection in the reference and feedback signals to the phase locked loop or delay locked loop.

    摘要: An apparatus for clock generation is presented. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a phase interpolator that generates an output with a phase value within reference phases associated with two input clocks. Logic units are coupled to determine a number of phase settings for the phase interpolator. A divider is coupled to the phase interpolator to generate an output clock based on a modifiable divider setting.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a chip includes clock generation circuitry to create a clock signal, and reference signal oscillator circuitry to produce a reference signal with a higher frequency than the clock signal. The chip includes a counter to change a count value in response to changes in the reference signal; and count logic circuitry to cause count storage circuitry to read the count value in response to at least some changes in the clock signal and to make at least some of the values in the count storage circuitry related to a duty cycle of the clock signal available to an external tester. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for communicating commands and/or data between two different time domains. In one embodiment, multiple memory commands are placed into one or more FIFOs in a manner that specifies the delays that must take place between execution of the different commands. Along with the commands, delay information is placed into the FIFOs, specifying the number of clock cycles, or other form of time delay, that must elapse between execution of a command and execution of a subsequent command. This delay information is used to delay the execution of the subsequent command for the specified time period, while minimizing or eliminating any excess delays. Cue information can also be placed into the FIFOs with the commands to specify which commands must wait for other commands before beginning execution. The delay and cue information is determined and created in the time domain that initiates the transfers. The delays and cueing are executed in the other time domain. Although the different commands may be delivered through different FIFOs and can therefore have unpredictable arrival times with respect to each other, the delay and cueing information maintains the proper execution order and timing between the commands. Interactive control logic at the output of each FIFO uses the timing data to maintain execution in the proper order and with the proper inter-command delays.

    摘要: A compensating buffer providing both course tuning on initialization and fine-tuning during operation is disclosed. The course tuning is provided by a plurality of binary-weighted driver legs which are selected during initialization. The fine-tuning which is selectable during both initialization and during operation is provided through linear-weighted biasing. The linear-weighted biasing is simplified through the use of a digital-to-analog converter.
