    摘要: In described embodiments, a receiver includes a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit with a voltage control oscillator (VCO) having proportional and integral loop control, and a Lock to Reference (L2R) mode circuit using Phase and Frequency Detector (PFD) control of the VCO during the absence of input data to the CDR. A regular CDR second order loop incorporating PFD control of the VCO during the absence of input data to the CDR achieves relatively rapid lock to reference when compared to counter-based lock to reference mode of operation.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for adaptation of continuous time-decision feedback equalizers with programmable adaptation patterns. A continuous time-decision feedback equalizer is adapted by obtaining at least one programmable signature pattern that triggers adaptation of one or more of a pole and a gain of the continuous time-decision feedback equalizer; detecting the at least one programmable signature pattern in an incoming signal; and adapting one or more of the pole and the gain of the continuous time-decision feedback equalizer when the at least one programmable signature pattern is detected in the incoming signal. The programmable signature pattern can be selected to ensure an unambiguous direction of change in an error sample when a corresponding one of the pole and the gain are modified.

    摘要: In described embodiments, a clock alignment system with a digital bang-bang phase detector (BBPD) employs digitally implemented hysteresis. A first BBPD is employed for a phase control loop that compares the phases from two different clock domain sources, where one clock domain source is used as a reference clock for the phase control loop. A second BBPD with delayed reference clock is employed to resolve ambiguous phase relations seen by the first BBPD. An initial state of a BBPD vector, defined as a vector of current values of the first BBPD and the second BBPD, is examined. Based on the initial and subsequent states of the BBPD vector, the non-reference clock is permitted to naturally move to a lock state through action of the phase control loop, or forced to have its phase rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to reach the lock state.

The controller is operative to receive respective output signals from the first and second sample circuits, to monitor a functionality of the second sample circuit relative to the first sample circuit, and to adjust a level of the second supply voltage to ensure correct operation of the second sample circuit throughout the specified range of PVT conditions. The digital circuit is operative from the second supply voltage.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining the threshold position of one or more latches employed for decision-feedback equalization. A threshold position of a latch employed by a decision-feedback equalizer is determined by constraining input data such that the input data only contains transitions from a first binary value; obtaining a plurality of samples of a single-sided data eye associated with the constrained input data; and determining a threshold position of the latch based on the samples. The constrained input data can comprise (i) transitions from a binary value of 1 to a binary value of 0 or 1; or (ii) transitions from a binary value of 0 to a binary value of 0 or 1. The size of the single-sided data eye can be obtained by analyzing a histogram associated with the single-sided data eye to identify a region having a constant hit count.
