Abstract:
A method for plesiochronous clock generation for parallel wireline transceivers, includes: inputting, into at least one decoder (290), at least one digital frequency mismatch number; decoding, with the at least one decoder (290), the at least one digital frequency mismatch number to obtain at least one digital frequency divider number (295) that represents a transmit frequency associated with at least one signal; inputting the at least one digital frequency divider number (295) into at least one fractional-N phase lock loop (230); and utilizing, by the at least one fractional-N phase lock loop (230), the at least one digital frequency divider number (295) and an analog reference signal produced by a reference oscillator (250) to produce a resultant signal at the transmit frequency; wherein the at least one decoder (290) and the at least one fractional-N phase lock loop (230) are contained on a single field programmable gate array (280).
Abstract:
A data receiver implemented in an integrated circuit is described. The data receiver comprises an input (305) receiving a data signal; a first equalization circuit (304) coupled to receive the data signal, wherein the first equalization circuit is used to receive the data of the data signal; and a second equalization circuit (310) coupled to receive the data signal, wherein the second equalization circuit is used to adjust a clock phase offset.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a differential amplifier (130) is provided. Gates of a first differential pair of transistors (132/134), of a first conductivity type, and a second pair or transistors (146/148), of a second conductivity type are coupled to first and second input terminals of the differential amplifier. A first pair of adjustable current sources (136/138) are configured to adjust respective tail currents of the first differential pair of transistors in response to a first bias current control signal. A second pair of adjustable current sources (152/154) are configured to adjust respective tail currents of the second differential pair of transistors in response to the first bias current control signal. A third pair of adjustable current sources (142/144) are configured to adjust respective currents through the second differential pair of transistors in response to a second bias current control signal.
