Abstract:
An example system for side band communication can include a processor, a system-on-chip (SOC), and a repeater communicatively coupled to the processor and the SOC. The repeater can receive packets from a first transceiver. The repeater can also detect a pattern in the packets to identify a guest protocol. The repeater can further send the packets from the first transceiver to the SOC via a second transceiver based on the identified guest protocol.

In one embodiment, the system comprises a debug mode control (DCI) unit; a Type-C connector; a Universal Serial Bus (USB) physical (phy) interface coupled to the connector; and interface logic coupled to the DCI unit and the USB phy interface to exchange debug control interface (DCI) signaling between the connector and the DCI unit.
Abstract:
A digital phase spacing detector with programmable delay lines is described. Each programmable delay line receives a clock. The output of the programmable delay lines is compared by a logic and then passed through a glitch detector. Each of the clocks pass through the programmable delay lines that are tuned to a point where the clock edges at the output of the delay lines are aligned and glitches start appearing at the output of the logic. A calibration scheme uses replica cells (replica of VCO cells) in the measurement path. The calibration scheme calculates the average of clock phase differences through a digital control replica buffer, and this average clock phase difference is applied to the VCO delay stage cells. The PLL is then allowed to relock with the calibrated VCO delay stage cells. This process can be repeated several times to reduce the phase errors between the clock phases.
