    摘要: Circuits, methods, and apparatus for dynamic control of source and termination impedances. One output stage provides a series termination when transmitting and a parallel termination when receiving data. A pull-up device has a nominal impedance of 50 ohms when the output stage pulls a pin from a low voltage to a high voltage, while a pull-down device has a nominal impedance of 50 ohms when the pin is pulled from a high voltage to a low voltage. Both the pull-up and pull-down devices are turned on when receiving data. Due to their non-linear current-voltage characteristics, the pull-up device appears as 50 ohms when the pin voltage is higher than one half the supply voltage, while the pull-down device appears as 50 ohms when the pin voltage is lower than one half the supply voltage. The pull-up and pull-down devices can be calibrated to provide a nominal 50 ohm impedance.

    摘要: Techniques for on-chip impedance termination are provided that substantially reduce the number of external resistors that are need to provide impedance termination at a plurality of pairs of differential input/output (I/O) pins. On-chip impedance termination circuits of the present invention may include an amplifier, a feedback loop, and an impedance termination circuit. A reference voltage is provided to a first input terminal of the amplifier. A feedback loop is coupled between an output terminal of the amplifier and a second input terminal of the amplifier. The amplifier drives its output voltage so that the voltage at the second input terminal matches the voltage at the first input terminal. The output voltage of the amplifier determines the resistance of the impedance termination circuit. The impedance termination circuit is coupled between differential I/O pins.

    摘要: A dynamic phase alignment circuit includes a phase generator circuit having delay-locked loop circuits that generate periodic output signals. Each of the delay-locked loop circuits generates one of the periodic output signals in response to at least two periodic input signals. A multiplexer circuit selects a selected periodic signal from among the periodic input signals and the periodic output signals based on select signals. A phase detection circuit compares a phase of the selected periodic signal to a data signal to generate a phase detection signal. A control logic circuit generates the select signals. The control logic circuit adjusts the select signals based on changes in the phase detection signal to cause the multiplexer circuit to adjust the phase of the selected periodic signal.
