摘要： The disclosed embodiments relate to a technique that uses a modified timing signal to reduce self-induced voltage noise in a synchronous system. During a transient period associated with a deterministic event in the synchronous system, the technique uses a modified timing signal generated based on a normal timing signal as a timing signal for the synchronous system. Outside of the transient period, the technique uses the normal timing as the timing signal for the synchronous system. In some embodiments, the modified timing signal is generated by skipping a pattern of clock transitions in the normal timing signal.

摘要： In a first clock frequency multiplier, multiple injection-locked oscillators (ILOs) having spectrally- staggered lock ranges are operated in parallel to effect a collective input frequency range substantially wider than that of a solitary ILO. After each input frequency change, the ILO output clocks may be evaluated according to one or more qualifying criteria to select one of the ILOs as the final clock source. In a second clock frequency multiplier, a flexible-injection-rate injection-locked oscillator locks to super-harmonic, sub-harmonic or at-frequency injection pulses, seamlessly transitioning between the different injection pulse rates to enable a broad input frequency range. The frequency multiplication factor effected by the first and/or second clock frequency multipliers in response to an input clock is determined on the fly and then compared with a programmed (desired) multiplication factor to select between different frequency-divided instances of the frequency-multiplied clock.

摘要： One or more timing signals used to time data and command transmission over highspeed data and command signaling links are paused or otherwise disabled when a memory system enters a low-power state, and require substantial time to be re-established at appropriate frequency and/or phase as the system returns to an active operating state. Instead of waiting for the high-speed timing signals to be re-established before beginning memory access operations, an alternative, lower-frequency timing source is used to time transfer of one or more memory-access commands over a combination of data and command signaling links while the high-speed timing signals are being restored, thereby hastening transmission of memory-access commands to memory devices and reducing the incremental latency required to exit the low-power state. A timing signal generators capable of glitchlessly shifting a timing signal between two or more oscillation frequencies may also (or alternatively) be provided, thus enabling different- frequency timing signals to be delivered to system components via the same timing signal paths in either operating state. When the timing signal is used to time data (or command) transfer over information-bearing signaling links, the ability to glitchlessly shift the timing signal frequency enables a corresponding glitchless shift between lower and higher data rates on the information-bearing signaling links.
摘要翻译：当存储器系统进入低功率状态并且需要大量时间以适当的频率重新建立时，用于对高速数据和命令信令链路上的数据和命令传输进行计时的一个或多个定时信号被暂停或以其他方式禁用和/或阶段，因为系统返回到活动的操作状态。代替在开始存储器访问操作之前等待高速定时信号被重新建立，替代的较低频率的定时源被用于通过数据和命令信令的组合来定时传送一个或多个存储器访问命令而高速定时信号正在恢复，从而加快了对存储器设备的存储器访问命令的传输，并减少了退出低功耗状态所需的增量等待时间。也可以（或者替代地）提供能够在两个或更多个振荡频率之间无故障地移位定时信号的定时信号发生器，从而使得不同频率定时信号能够在任一操作状态下经由相同定时信号路径被传送到系统组件。当使用定时信号来对通过信息承载的信令链路进行数据（或命令）传输时，无信号地改变定时信号频率的能力使信息承载信令链路上的较低和较高数据速率之间的相应无毛刺移位成为可能。

摘要： A system for communicating information between circuits is described. A transmit circuit provides pulse-amplitude-modulation (PAM) signals via a communication channel to a receiver. A circuit in the receiver determines digital values from the received signals using a time-varying threshold voltage, which varies during the bit-time. This approach may compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) to increase the voltage and timing margins of the system.

摘要： A communication system supports high-speed communication over a signal lane that extends between respective transmitting and receiving integrated circuit (IC) devices. One or both of the IC devices includes an equalizer to offset channel characteristics that otherwise impair speed performance. A margining circuit on the receiving IC measures a timing margin of the received signal and adjusts the equalization settings for one or both transmitters to maximize the timing margin. Another embodiment compensates for performance asymmetry between ICs communicating over a bidirectional lane by instantiating relatively complex error analysis and adaptation circuitry on the higher-performance side of the lane. The error analysis and adaptation circuitry reduces the error margin of the transmitted signal to introduce bit errors at the receiver, analyzes the bit errors to measure ISI imposed by the channel, and adjusts voltage offsets of the continuous-time signal to compensate for the ISI. In some embodiments the receiver calculates the system response for diagnostics and for computing equalization settings.

摘要： A system for dynamically correcting phase errors between data and a timing reference signal caused by a transient event during data communication between a transmitter and a receiver is described. During operation, the system stores one or more phase-offset values for the event in an offset table, wherein the constituent phase-offset values are associated with phase error caused by the event. Upon detecting a subsequent occurrence of the event, the system adjusts a phase relationship between the data and the timing reference signal based on the one or more phase-offset values.

摘要： A transform circuit includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit and the second circuit implement first and second mappings that together generate a pre-defined transform of N digital data symbols. The first circuit maps a set of N digital data symbols from N parallel data streams to N analog data symbols by generating N sets of first weighted sums of the N digital data symbols. Each respective first weighted sum is defined by a respective set of pre-determined first weighting values in a first matrix. The second circuit maps the N analog data symbols to a sequence of N output signals over N time intervals. Each of the N output signals corresponds to a respective second weighted sum of the N analog data symbols. Each respective second weighted sum is defined by a respective set of pre-determined second weighting values in a second matrix.

摘要： A signaling system includes a pre-emphasizing transmitter and an equalizing receiver coupled to one another via a high-speed signal path. The receiver measures the quality of data conveyed from the transmitter. A controller uses this information and other information to adaptively establish appropriate transmit pre-emphasis and receive equalization settings, e.g. to select the lowest power setting for which the signaling system provides some minimum communication bandwidth without exceeding a desired bit-error rate.
