    Abstract: A passive impedance equalization network (250,255,260,265) for high speed serial links is described. The impedance equalization network may include at least one stepped impedance transformer near points of impedance discontinuities (205,225,210,230). The impedance discontinuities may be at an interface connection between two circuit boards. The impedance discontinuities on a circuit board may be at a die-package interface and/or a package-board interface. The stepped impedance transformer may be formed in a package trace, a board trace or both. Forming the stepped impedance transformers in the traces requires no modification to existing package/board design methodology or technology. The stepped impedance transformers can provide impedance matching over a range of frequencies. To account for modeling errors in the design of the stepped impedance transformers integrated circuits transmitting data over the serial link may include active circuitry to select an output/input impedance for transmitters/receivers. Other embodiments are otherwise disclosed herein.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a chip includes first and second ports to provide first and second received data signals and first and second received strobe signal, respectively. An internal clock signal has a fixed phase relationship to the first received strobe signal and the second received strobe signal has an arbitrary phase relationship with the internal clock signal. First and second write blocks latch the first and second received data signals synchronously with the first and second received strobe signals, respectively. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: For one disclosed embodiment, an integrated circuit may comprise an internal transmission line in one or more layers of the integrated circuit. The internal transmission line may be coupled to receive a signal from an external transmission line at a first end of the internal transmission line without use of termination circuitry. The internal transmission line may transmit the signal passively to a second end of the internal transmission line. The integrated circuit may also comprise first circuitry having an input coupled to the internal transmission line at a first location of the internal transmission line to receive the signal and second circuitry having an input coupled to the internal transmission line at a second location of the internal transmission line to receive the signal. The second location may be different from the first location. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a chip includes a chip interface to accept a delay control signal from outside the chip. The chip also includes a controllable delay line to delay an input signal responsive to the delay control signal to provide an output signal with a particular phase relationship to the input signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A current mode driver includes a tail current device, a differential pair of input transistors, cascode output transistors, and pre-charge circuits to charge cascode nodes between the differential pair of input transistors and the cascode output transistors. The current mode driver is driven by CMOS drivers that alternately turn the input transistors on and off. A wide-swing bias circuit provides bias voltages for the current mode driver. This bias voltage for the tail current device is closely matched to provide current matching between the bias circuit and the current mode driver.
