Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clock data recovery circuitry provided on or associated with a programmable logic device circuitry. SOLUTION: A programmable logic device ("PLD") is augmented with programmable clock data recovery ("CDR") circuitry to allow the PLD to communicate via any one of a large number of CDR signaling protocols. The CDR circuitry may be integrated with the PLD, or it may be wholly or partly on a separate integrated circuit. The circuitry may be capable of CDR input, CDR output, or both. The CDR capability may be provided in combination with other non-CDR signaling capability such as non-CDR low voltage differential signaling ("LVDS"). The circuitry may be part of a larger system.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an appropriate circuit which detects clock loss and carries out switch over of clock signals. SOLUTION: There are included a clock loss sense and switchover circuit and method in which clock switchover is responsive to loss of a primary signal and to additional switch command signaling. There are further included a clock loss sense circuit and method that utilizes counters and reset signals to compare primary clock and secondary clock signals. The clock loss sense circuit is included which uses counters and edge sensors to speedily and easily determine loss of the primary clock signal. The cross switchover circuit is included to be responsive to both the clock loss signal and the additional switch command signal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
