摘要： A system for controllably generating jitter in a serial data stream includes a frequency generator and first and second mixers. The frequency generator is configured to output in-phase and quadrature local oscillator signals with a local oscillator frequency of at least about 5 MHz. The local oscillator frequency varies between a selectable minimum frequency and a selectable maximum frequency. The first mixer is configured to mix a fixed frequency clock signal with the in-phase local oscillator signal to output a first mixer output. The second mixer is configured to mix the fixed frequency clock signal with the quadrature local oscillator signal to output a second mixer output. An adder is configured to add the first and second mixer outputs to produce a frequency-modulated clock signal with a frequency that is about the sum of the fixed frequency and the local oscillator frequency and includes a periodic jitter.

摘要： A receiver comprises equalization circuitry implementing at least first and second gain adaptation loops associated with respective first and second frequency bands. The equalization circuitry in one aspect is operative to identify a pattern in a portion of a received serial data stream, and to perform gain adaptation for the receiver utilizing a particular one of the gain adaptation loops responsive to the identified pattern. For example, the gain adaptation may be performed utilizing a low frequency gain adaptation loop if the detected pattern is of a first type generally associated with a low frequency band, and may be performed utilizing a high frequency gain adaptation loop if the detected pattern is of a second type generally associated with a high frequency band. In other aspects, the first and second gain adaptation loops may be activated in a particular serial order or in parallel.

摘要： Communication system optimization using a soft receiver masking technique is disclosed. For example, a method for testing a communication device comprises obtaining a software representation of a receiver portion of a given communication device. A data signal received from a transmitter through a given link channel is then processed, wherein the processing step is performed using the software representation of the receiver portion of the communication device. An output signal is caused to be generated by the software representation of the receiver portion. An eye mask test is then applied to the output signal. Based on a result of the eye mask test, one or more parameters of the transmitter may be adjusted.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for asynchronous calibration for eye diagram generation. For example, a method for calibrating a process for generating a data eye associated with a received signal comprises the following steps. Samples of the received signal are obtained for a first unit interval using a first data latch and a roaming latch. A delay offset is determined between the first data latch and the roaming latch by comparing at least one sample obtained using the first data latch and at least one sample obtained using the roaming latch, wherein the delay offset determined by the comparison is used to calibrate the process for generating the data eye associated with the received signal. A similar comparison may be done for a second data latch and used to calibrate the process. The method is able to find the accurate position of each data latch with respect to the roaming latch so as to improve the accuracy of data decoding in a digital receiver, i.e., provide receiver optimization.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for joint adaptation of filter values in two communicating devices, such as a link partner and a link device. The disclosed joint adaptation process initially adapts the filter coefficient values in a first of the two communicating devices until a predefined stopping criteria is satisfied. Thereafter, the filter coefficient values in a second of the two communicating devices are adapted once the predefined stopping criteria for the first communicating device is satisfied. The filter coefficient values can comprise coefficient values of a multi-tap filter. The predefined stopping criteria may determine, for example, whether the first of the two communicating devices is overequalized. The filter coefficient values can be determined by including a contribution of only certain cursor tap values of the channel impulse response.

摘要： A frequency-lock detector (FLD) adapted to register more than one target count per period of a target clock signal to generate a count value related to a frequency difference between the target clock signal and a reference clock signal. In various embodiments of the invention, this count registration is implemented by multiplying the target clock signal, discerning two or more phases of a signal, and/or organizing a count pipeline. In a representative embodiment, an FLD of the invention has a counter circuit and a control circuit. The counter circuit has (i) a frequency multiplier adapted to multiply the frequency of the target clock signal to generate a multiplied signal, (ii) two target counters adapted to register counts based on occurrences of two different phases of the accelerated signal to generate two auxiliary numbers, and (iii) a multiplexer adapted to select an appropriate one of the auxiliary numbers as the count value related to the frequency difference. The control circuit has a reference counter adapted to control, based on the reference clock signal, the count registration in the target counters and the value selection in the multiplexer.
