    • An apparatus and method for programmable lock detection and correction (PLDC) to a programmable accuracy in a digital delay-locked loop (DLL) based multiphase clock generator (MCG) is based on a DLL that utilizes a digital count to control the delay of a digitally controlled, multiple-tap delay line in its feedback path where stability of the digital count is used to qualify the determination of lock to a programmable accuracy and lock determination is based on combinatorial evaluation of the multiple phase outputs for the proper waveform relationships. The incidence of false lock corresponding to excessive delay through the delay line is addressed by a LOOPRESET signal that results in a reset of the digital count that controls the delay through the delay line. Additionally, programmability of the stability interval, the digital counter step size, and the accuracy of the lock provide control over lock acquisition time.

    • In an exemplary decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) of a serializer/deserializer (SerDes) receiver, a single current mirror array is shared by multiple current digital-to-analog converter (IDAC) functions. The DFE has an initial amplifier stage that applies an initial coefficient COEFF0 to an input data signal and a number of (e.g., five) additional amplifier stages that apply additional coefficients (e.g., COEFF1-COEFF5) to different delayed versions of the recovered output data stream. The outputs of the initial and multiple additional amplifier stages are summed to generate an equalized data signal that is applied to a clock-and-data recovery (CDR) circuit. Due to certain characteristics of the equalizer function, the multiple additional amplifier stages can be implemented using a single shared current mirror array, which save significant amounts of chip area compared to conventional implementations in which each additional amplifier stage has its own dedicated current mirror array.

    • In one embodiment of the invention, a phase-locked loop (PLL) can be programmably controlled to add jitter to its PLL output clock. Such a PLL can be used to programmably inject jitter into the outgoing serial data signal generated by a serializer/de-serializer (serdes) that can be operated in an internal loopback mode, in which the outgoing serial data signal is internally looped back from the transmitter side of the serdes to the serdes receiver side. Jitter logic associated with the PLL can be operated in a register-based mode that does not rely on any externally generated jitter clock. Such register-based processing enables effective (1) internal loopback testing of unpackaged devices at the wafer stage as well as package devices at the package stage and (2) external loopback testing at the system level.

    • In one embodiment of the invention, a clock-and-data-recovery (CDR) system has a multi-phase clock generator that generates a plurality of phase-offset clock signals and one or more channel circuits, each receiving a (different) input data signal and all of the phase-offset clock signals and generates an output data stream and a recovered clock signal. Each channel circuit has a plurality of data registers (e.g., flip-flops), each receiving the input data signal at its clock input port and a different one of the phase-offset clock signals at its data input port, such that the flip-flop is triggered at each (rising) edge in the input data signal. The channel circuit processes the outputs from the different flip-flops to select an appropriate phase-offset clock signal for use in sampling the input data signal to generate the output data stream, where the recovered clock signal is generated from the selected phase-offset clock signal.
