    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide interconnection resources applied to programmable logic devices for accelerating an operating speed of a programmable logic array integrated circuit device. SOLUTION: A programmable logic integrated circuit (10) has a plurality of regions of programmable logic (20) disposed on the device in a plurality of intersecting rows and columns of such regions. Interconnection resources (e.g., interconnection conductors, etc.) are provided for making programmable interconnections to, from and/or between the regions. At least some of these interconnection resources are provided in two forms having architecturally similar but significantly different signal propagation speed characteristics. For example, a major or larger portion of such dual-form interconnection resources (200a, 210a, 230a) may have what may be termed normal signal speed, while a smaller minor portion (200b, 210b, 230b) may have significantly faster signal speed.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately adjust the amount of gain in equalization circuitry. SOLUTION: Equalization circuitry (200) may be used to compensate for the attenuation of a data signal caused by a transmission medium. The control circuitry for the equalization circuitry may generate control inputs for equalization stages (202) that control the amount of gain provided to the data signal. A comparator (212) may determine whether the gain from the equalization circuitry is less than or more than the desired amount of gain. A programmable up/down counter (204) may adjust the counter value based on the output of the comparator. The counter value may be converted into one or more analog voltages using one or more digital-to-analog converters (208, 210). The analog voltages may be provided to the equalization stages as control inputs. The control circuitry may also include hysteresis circuitry (214) that prevents the counter value from being adjusted when the gain produced by the equalization stages is close to the desired amount of gain.

    Abstract: Integrated circuits with phase-locked loops are provided. Phase-locked loops may include an oscillator, a phase-frequency detector, a charge pump, a loop filter, a voltage-controlled oscillator, and a programmable divider. The voltage-controlled oscillator may include multiple inductors, an oscillator circuit, and a buffer circuit. A selected one of the multiple inductors may be actively connected to the oscillator circuit. The voltage-controlled oscillators may have multiple oscillator circuits. Each oscillator circuit may be connected to a respective inductor, may include a varactor, and may be powered by a respective voltage regulator. Each oscillator circuit may be coupled to a respective input transistor pair in the buffer circuit through associated coupling capacitors. A selected one of the oscillator circuits may be turned on during normal operation by supplying a high voltage to the selected one of the oscillator circuit and by supply a ground voltage to the remaining oscillator circuits.

    Abstract: A link simulation tool for simulating high-speed communications link systems is provided. Communications links may include link subsystems such as transmit (TX) circuitry, receive (TX) circuitry, oscillator circuits that provide reference clock signals to the TX and RX circuitry, and channels that link the TX and RX circuitry. The link simulation tool may model each of the subsystems using behavioral models. The behavioral models may include characteristic functions such as transfer functions, probability density functions, and eye characteristics. The link simulation tool may have a link analysis engine that is capable of performing two-dimensional (two-variable) convolution operations and in applying dual-domain (frequency-time) transformations on the characteristic functions provided by the behavioral models to simulate the performance of the link system. The link simulation tool may have an input screen that allows a user to specify desired link parameters and a data display screen that display simulated results.

    Abstract: Circuitry for receiving a serial data signal (e.g., a high-speed serial data signal) includes adjustable equalizer circuitry for producing an equalized version of the serial data signal. The equalizer circuitry may include controllably variable DC gain and controllably variable AC gain. The circuitry may further include eye height and eye width monitor circuitry for respectively producing first and second output signals indicative of the height and width of the eye of the equalized version. The first output signal may be used in control of the DC gain of the equalizer circuitry, and the second output signal may be used in control of the AC gain of the equalizer circuitry.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for generating a fractional clock signal.SOLUTION: A circuit includes a phase detection circuit, a clock signal generation circuit, a first frequency divider and a second frequency divider. The phase detection circuit compares an input clock signal with a feedback signal to generate a control signal. The clock signal generation circuit generates a periodic output signal in response to the control signal. The first frequency divider divides a frequency of the periodic output signal by a first value to generate a first frequency-divided signal. The second frequency divider divides the frequency of the periodic output signal by a second value to generate a second frequency-divided signal. The first and second frequency-divided signals are routed to the phase detection circuit as the feedback signal during different time intervals.
