Abstract:
A circuit includes a first area, a second area, and a third area. The second area includes a locked loop circuit that generates a clock signal. The locked loop circuit receives a supply voltage that is isolated from noise generated in the first area. The third area includes multiple quads of channels and a clock line coupled to route at least one clock signal generated in the second area to the channels in each of the quads. The third area is separate from the second area in the circuit.
Abstract:
A transmitter circuit is operable to provide an output signal in response to a first periodic signal. A multiplexer circuit is operable to provide a second periodic signal as a selected signal during a first phase of operation. The multiplexer circuit is operable to provide the output signal of the transmitter circuit as the selected signal during a second phase of operation. A sampler circuit is operable to generate first samples of the selected signal during the first phase of operation. The sampler circuit is operable to generate second samples of the selected signal during the second phase of operation. A duty cycle control circuit is operable to adjust a duty cycle of the first periodic signal based on the first and the second samples.
Abstract:
A circuit includes phase detection circuitry, a clock signal generation circuit, a first frequency divider, and a second frequency divider. The phase detection circuitry compares an input clock signal to 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 the second frequency divided signals are routed to the phase detection circuitry as the feedback signal during different time intervals.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide digital adaptation circuitry and method for programmable logic devices. SOLUTION: This method provides for controlling equalization of an incoming data signal. The method includes detecting two successive differently valued bits in the data signal, determining whether transition in the incoming data signal between those bits occurs relatively late or relatively early, and increasing the equalization of the incoming data signal if it is relatively late.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a downstream network load due to synchronization generated between the outputs of a four channel system, when four or more channels operate simultaneously. SOLUTION: The integrated circuit such as a programmable logic device (PLD) or the like includes multiple channels (30-0 to 30-3) of data communications circuitry. Circuitry is (54, 60) provided between these channels which are grouped in various sizes so as to selectively share signals. Thus, the device can appropriately support a communication protocol requesting various numbers of channels. The shared signals can include a clock signal, or an FIFO writing/reading permission signal. The circuit is preferably arranged in modules (that is, a certain channel and adjacent channels thereof, and/or a channel in a certain group and channels in neighboring groups thereof are equivalent or substantially equivalent) for facilitating the circuit design, circuit checking or the like.

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.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transceiver system having a reduced latency uncertainty. SOLUTION: The transceiver system has a word aligner with a latency uncertainty of zero. The system also has a bit slipper coupled with the word aligner. The bit slipper slips bits in such a manner that a total delay caused by word alignment of the word aligner and by a bit slip of the bit slipper is constant with respect to all phases of a recovery clock.

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.
