摘要: A driver circuit includes a feed-forward equalization (FFE) circuit. The FFE circuit receives a plurality of pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) symbol values to be transmitted at one of multiple PAM levels. The FFE circuit includes a first partial lookup table, one or more additional partial lookup tables, and an adder circuit. The first partial lookup table contains partial finite impulse-response (FIR) values and indexed based on a current PAM symbol value, a precursor PAM symbol value, and a postcursor PAM symbol value. The one or more additional partial lookup tables each contain partial FIR values and indexed based on a respective additional one or more of the PAM symbol values. The adder circuit adds results of lookups from the first partial lookup table and the additional partial lookup tables to produce an output value.

摘要: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for reducing data port downtime are provided. An example network interface device of the present disclosure includes a first data port and a second data port. The network interface device performs a first link training process associated with the first data port coupled to a first communication link to determine a first communication parameter set for the first communication link. The network interface device then deactivates the first data port and performs a second link training process associated the second data port coupled to a second communication link to determine a second communication parameter set. Based on a network usage parameter set associated with a data plane of the network interface device, the network interface device determines whether to activate the first data port concurrently with the second data port.

摘要: Technologies for jitter extraction are described. A receiver device includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit includes an equalizer block to output current data based on samples from the ADC. A clock-recovery (CR) block includes a timing error detector (TED) or a phase detector to measure a sampling offset. The CR block can use the sampling offset to control sampling of subsequent data by the ADC. A jitter extraction block can use the sampling offset to re-sample the current data to obtain re-sampled data based on the sampling offset to remove jitter from the current data.

摘要: Input/output (I/O) operation requests from pageable storage mode guests are interpreted without host intervention. In a pageable mode virtual environment, requests issued by pageable storage mode guests are processed by one or more processors of the environment absent intervention from one or more hosts of the environment. Processing of the requests includes manipulating, by at least one processor on behalf of the guests, buffer state information stored in host storage. The manipulating is performed via instructions initiated by the guests and processed by one or more of the processors.

摘要: A memory interface may include a transmitter that generates multi-level signals made up of symbols that convey multiple bits of data. The transmitter may include a first data path for a first bit (e.g., a least significant bit (LSB)) in a symbol and a second data path for a second bit (e.g., the most significant bit (MSB)) in the symbol. Each path may include a de-emphasis or pre-emphasis buffer circuit that inverts and delays signals received at the de-emphasis or pre-emphasis buffer circuit. The delayed and inverted data signals may control de-emphasis or pre-emphasis drivers that are configured to apply de-emphasis or pre-emphasis to a multi-level signal.

摘要: A receiver includes a variable resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and variable resolution processing logic/circuitry. The processing logic may use feed-forward equalization (FFE) techniques to process the outputs from the ADC. When receiving data from a channel having low attenuation, distortion, and/or noise, the ADC and processing logic may be configured to sample and process the received signal using fewer bits, and therefore less logic, than when configured to receiving data from a channel having a higher attenuation, distortion, and/or noise. Thus, the number of (valid) bits output by the ADC, and subsequently processed (e.g., for FFE equalization) can be reduced when a receiver of this type is coupled to a low loss channel. These reductions can reduce power consumption when compared to operating the receiver using the full (i.e., maximum) number of bits the ADC and processing logic is capable of processing.

摘要: Indication of an amount of processing performed in detection and removal of ingress noise may be provided. A frequency domain representation of a narrowband region of a digital input signal may be received. The received frequency domain representation of the narrowband region may be compared with a predetermined threshold. Results from the comparison of the received frequency domain representation of the narrowband region with the predetermined threshold may be aggregated. Based on the aggregated results, an indication of an amount of processing performed by an ingress exciser in removing the ingress noise may be provided.

摘要: A signaling circuit having a selectable-tap equalizer. The signaling circuit includes a buffer, a select circuit and an equalizing circuit. The buffer is used to store a plurality of data values that correspond to data signals transmitted on a signaling path during a first time interval. The select circuit is coupled to the buffer to select a subset of data values from the plurality of data values according to a select value. The equalizing circuit is coupled to receive the subset of data values from the select circuit and is adapted to adjust, according to the subset of data values, a signal level that corresponds to a data signal transmitted on the signaling path during a second time interval.

摘要: A transmitter may comprise a symbol mapper circuit and operate in at least two modes. In a first mode, the number of symbols output by the mapper circuit per orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted by said transmitter may be greater than the number of data-carrying subcarriers used to transmit the OFDM symbol. In a second mode, the number of symbols output by said mapper circuit per orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol transmitted by said transmitter is less than or equal to the number of data-carrying subcarriers used to transmit said OFDM symbol. The symbols output by the symbol mapper circuit may be N-QAM symbols. While the circuitry operates in the first mode, the symbols output by the mapper may be converted to physical subcarrier values via filtering and decimation prior to being input to an IFFT circuit.

摘要: A method for estimating performance of a serial communication channel using processing circuits. The channel is configured to transmit a binary input stream from a transmitting end to an output stream at a receiving end. The method includes modeling by the processing circuits the channel at the receiving end as a first finite impulse response (FIR) system. The modeling includes estimating a cursor pulse response of the first FIR system by analyzing the output stream received at the receiving end, and estimating one or more pre-cursor or post-cursor pulse responses of the first FIR system from the received output stream using the estimated cursor pulse response. The method further includes determining by the processing circuits a performance metric by using the estimated one or more pre-cursor or post-cursor pulse responses.
