Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an equalization circuit for appropriately compensating for attenuation caused by transmission media.SOLUTION: Data signals transmitted over transmission media suffer from attenuation caused by the transmission media. An equalization circuit (106) includes a plurality of stages (202) arranged in series to allow frequency responses of the stages (202) to be integrated together. Each stage (202) is programmable to insert a zero, thus causing the frequency response of the stage (202) to be increased in magnitude by 20 dB/decade. The frequency location of zero is also programmable to allow each stage (202) to contribute to a certain amount of a gain for a specific frequency. Each stage (202) is also programmable to determine the location of a pole for the reduction of high frequency noise and cross-talk cancellation.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an equalization circuit for appropriately compensating for attenuation caused by transmission media. SOLUTION: Data signals transmitted over transmission media suffer from attenuation caused by the transmission media. Equalization circuitry (106) may include a plurality of stages (202) arranged in series to allow frequency responses of the stages (202) to be aggregated together. Each stage (202) may be programmable to insert a zero, thus causing the frequency response of the stage (202) to be increased in magnitude by 20 dB/decade. The frequency location of zero may also be programmable to allow each stage (202) to contribute to a certain amount of a gain for a specific frequency.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for generating a restoring clock signal using a multi-mode clock data recovery (CDR) circuit meeting requirements of flexible ranged operating frequency F and continuous identical codes CID. SOLUTION: In first mode, a controlled oscillator provides the restoring clock signal, and in second mode, a phase interpolator provides the restoring clock signal. The multi-mode CDR circuit operates in the first mode when (CID/F) is less than a time tolerance, or operates in the second mode when the (CID/F) is greater than the time tolerance.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data conversion process which can convert a serial data format to a parallel data format successfully and efficiently, and also to provide a data conversion process in the opposite direction. SOLUTION: The receiver circuitry for receiving high-speed serial data signals having serial bit rates in the range of about 10 Gbps includes a two-stage, continuous-time, linear equalizer having only two serially connected stages. Each of the stages has variable parameters of a DC gain, and a pole and/or zero whose location is variable with respect to frequency. The parameters of the DC gain at each stage and the locations of the pole and/or zero are variable by programs. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rate negotiation independent of a protocol in use in a PLD receiver-transmitter. SOLUTION: A method for determining a data rate in a serial interface channel for a programmable logic device operating at a clock rate includes; monitoring the channel for occurrence of a single bit transition, and concluding that the data rate is virtually a multiple of the clock rate based on detection of a plurality of single bit transitions in a predefined duration.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide technologies for adjusting a signal received from a communication path. SOLUTION: The systems and methods for adjusting a signal received from a communication path are disclosed. A receiver can receive a signal from a communication path which attenuates at least some frequency components of the signal. The receiver can include an equalization block that adjusts at least some of the frequency component of the received signal, a signal normalization block that provides a normalized signal amplitude and a normalized edge slope, and a control block. In one embodiment, the control block controls frequency adjustment in the equalization block for high frequencies but does not control for low frequencies. For low frequency adjustment, the control block controls the normalized signal amplitude in the signal normalization block. Thus, the controlled adjustment for low frequency content is executed in the signal normalization block. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital adaptation circuitry and method for a programmable logic device. SOLUTION: A method of controlling equalization of an incoming data signal includes: detecting two continuous bits having different values in the data signal; determining whether transition in the incoming data signal between the two bits is relatively slow or relatively fast; and increasing the equalization of the incoming data signal when the transition is relatively slow.
