    Abstract: A phase interpolator for generating a phase interpolated output signal between two phase separated input signals received at two phase separated input signal nodes may include a plurality of circuit elements. The plurality of circuit elements may include at least one of resistors or capacitors, in a series arrangement between the two phase separated input signal nodes, where respective connection points between respective ones of the plurality of circuit elements may provide at least one intermediate phase interpolated signal. The phase interpolator may also include selection circuitry, which may be configured to select the phase interpolated output signal from the at least one intermediate phase interpolated signal.

    Abstract: A data communication interface has a delay-locked loop configured to generate a receive clock signal based on timing information provided by a signal received over a clock channel of a data communication link, a phase interpolator configured to provide a phase-shifted clock signal by phase-shifting one or more edges in the receive clock signal based on timing of transitions in a data signal received over a data channel of the data communication link, a clock and data recovery circuit configured to capture data from the data signal using the phase-shifted clock signal, and a calibration circuit. The calibration circuit is configured to calibrate the delay-locked loop while the clock and data recovery circuit is in an idle state, recalibrate the delay-locked loop when the clock and data recovery circuit is activated, and calibrate the clock and data recovery circuit after recalibrating the delay-locked loop.

    Abstract: A receiver with clock phase calibration. A first sampling circuit generates first digital data based on an input signal, a sampling phase of the first sampling circuit controlled by a first clock signal. A second sampling circuit generates second digital data based on the input signal, a sampling phase of the second sampling circuit controlled by a second clock signal. Circuitry within the receiver calibrates the clocks in different stages. During a first calibration stage, a phase of the second clock signal is adjusted while the first digital data is selected for generating the output data. During a second calibration stage, a phase of the first clock signal is adjusted while the first digital data is selected for the output data path.

    Abstract: A receiver serial data streams generates a local timing reference clock from an approximate frequency reference clock by phase-aligning the local clock to transitions in the data stream. This process is commonly known as clock and data recovery (CDR). Certain transitions of the data signals are selected for use in phase-aligning the local clock, and certain transitions are ignored. Phase-error signals from multiple receivers receiving the multiple serial data streams are combined and used to make common phase adjustments to the frequency reference clock. These common adjustments track jitter that is common to the received data streams. Local adjustments that better align each respective local clock to the transitions of its respective serial data stream are made using a local phase-error signal. These local adjustments track jitter that is more unique to each of the respective serial data streams.
