摘要： Disclosed are a receiver circuit, method and design architecture of a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) Clock-And-Data Recovery (CDR) architecture that utilizes/produces one sample-per-bit in the receiver and reduces bit-error-rate (BER). An integrating receiver is combined with a decision feedback equalizer along with the appropriate (CDR) loop phase detector to maintain a single sample per bit requirement. The incoming voltage is converted to a current and connected to a current summing node. Weighted currents determined by the values of previously detected bits and their respective feedback coefficients are also connected to this node. Additionally, the summed currents is integrated and converted to a voltage. A sampler is utilized to make a bit decision based on the resulting voltage. After sampling, the integrator is reset before analysis of the next bit. The necessary amplification is achieved by maximizing the sensitivity of the latch, using integration in front of the data latch.

摘要： Aspects of providing automatic adaptation to frequency offsets in high speed serial links are described. First signals for phase adjusts in a receiver link are adjusted by detecting trends in the first signals to generate second signals, the second signals improving a rate of compensation for the frequency offsets by the phase adjusts. An up/down counter is included for counting signals for phase adjustments by a clock-data-recovery loop of a serial receiver. An adder is coupled to the up/down counter and outputs accumulated data indicative of a trend in the phase adjustments. Combinatorial logic coupled to the adder adapts the signals based on the accumulated data.

摘要： The method for determining jitter of a signal in a serial link according to the invention comprising the following steps: First, a section of the signal transmitted via a transmission channel is sampled at different sampling times. The total number of edges in the section is determined. The neighboring sample values are analyzed and from that a statistical value is formed. From the statistical value and the total number of edges a figure of merit is determined. Finally, by means of a look-up table or a jitter-versus-figure of merit curve, the total jitter corresponding to the figure of merit is derived.

摘要： A DSSS system determines transmission reliability of a communication channel in real time. A DSSS transmitter (f0=1/T) generates a Pseudo Noise (PN) code and modulates a carrier source [cos. (2Σγc)] with a selected chip rate. The transmitter bandwidth is a direct function of the chip rate. The PN coded carrier signal is further modulated by a data signal [m(t)] to provide an output signal [s(t)] to a correlator via a communication channel for purposes of determining the transmission characteristic of the channel. The correlator running a variable length pseudo noise code combines the code and the carrier which relates the incoming data signal to a correlation value for detecting the data signal. The correlation value is compared to a threshold value based upon experience of reliable transmission of data through the communication channel. The value of the correlation value declines as the data is attenuated in the communication channel, thus, the band limiting effect of the communication can be determined by the change in the correlation value.
摘要翻译： DSSS系统实时确定通信信道的传输可靠性。 DSSS发射机（f 0 0 = 1 / T）产生伪噪声（PN）码，并调制载波源[cos。（2Sigmagamma c））]。发射机带宽是芯片速率的直接函数。 PN编码的载波信号被数据信号[m（t）]进一步调制，以通过通信信道向相关器提供输出信号[s（t）]，以便确定信道的传输特性。运行可变长度伪噪声码的相关器将代码和将输入数据信号相关联的载波组合成用于检测数据信号的相关值。基于通过通信信道可靠地传输数据的经验将相关值与阈值进行比较。在通信信道中数据被衰减时，相关值的值下降，因此通信的频带限制效果可以通过相关值的变化来确定。

摘要： A differential clock signal gating method and system is provided, wherein a clock buffer circuit control path develops a clock gating signal with a timing relationship to a clock signal. The clock gating signal gates a buffer on the clock buffer circuit controlled path in communication with the clock signal responsive to a first clock signal pulse negative half. The buffer provides second and successive clock signal pulses occurring immediately and sequentially after the first clock signal pulse as a buffer clock signal output to a second buffer stage in a second stage clock path, each having the nominal clock amplitude and the nominal clock pulse width of the clock signal without jitter.

摘要： A method for manufacturing a calibration device for an active circuit on a chip, comprises: providing an active circuit that is capable of exhibiting a desired electrical characteristic; and providing a calibration mechanism on-chip with the active circuit. The calibration mechanism generates a control output and comprises a device under test (DUT) configured as a replica of at least one segment of the active circuit, and which generates a test output that causes finite adjustments to the control output, based on a comparison of the electrical characteristics exhibited by the DUT with a known electrical characteristic. The method further comprises: attaching to each control input terminal of the active circuit a corresponding control output from the calibration mechanism. The control output of the calibration mechanism dynamically adjusts control input applied to devices of the active circuit to force the active circuit to exhibit the desired electrical characteristic.
