The IC also includes a second region incorporated into the IC and in communication with the first region. The second region includes standard logic cells and base cells. In one embodiment, the standard logic cells are assembled or interconnected to accommodate known protocols.

The second region can be embedded in the first region in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the second region is defined around a perimeter of the first region. The configurable logic may be composed of hybrid logic elements that have metal mask programmable interconnections so that as emerging communication protocols evolve and are modified, the IC can be modified to accommodate to the changes in the protocol. In another embodiment, a generic device can be customized by replacing the original function with a completely new function targeting a specific application space, e.g., replacing the original function such as a PCI Express, used for computing based applications, with 40 G/100 G Ethernet and Interlaken, used in wireline applications. A method of designing an integrated circuit is also provided.

    • Phase locked loop circuitry operates digitally, to at least a large extent, to select from a plurality of phase-distributed candidate clock signals the signal that is closest in phase to transitions in another signal such as a clock data recovery (“CDR”) signal. The circuitry is constructed and operated to avoid glitches in the output clock signal that might otherwise result from changes in selection of the candidate clock signal. Frequency division of the candidate clock signals may be used to help the circuitry support serial communication at bit rates below frequencies that an analog portion of the phase locked loop circuitry can economically provide. Over-transmission or over-sampling may be used on the transmit side for similar reasons.
    • 锁相环电路以数字方式进行数字操作,至少在很大程度上从多个相位分布的候选时钟信号中选择最接近相位的信号,以便在诸如时钟数据恢复(“CDR”)信号的另一个信号中转换 。 该电路被构造和操作以避免由于候选时钟信号的选择变化而导致的输出时钟信号中的毛刺。 候选时钟信号的分频可以用于帮助电路以低于锁相环电路的模拟部分可以经济地提供的频率的比特率来支持串行通信。 出于同样的原因,发射侧可能会使用过量传输或过采样。
