    Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) includes an oscillation frequency signal generation circuit and a transconductance control circuit. The oscillation frequency signal generation circuit has a first transconductance and generates a first oscillation frequency signal and a second oscillation frequency signal based on a voltage control signal and a power supply voltage. The first and second oscillation frequency signals are a pair of differential signals. The oscillation frequency signal generation circuit is configured to output the first oscillation frequency signal from a first output node. The oscillation frequency signal generation circuit is configured to output the second oscillation frequency signal from a second output node. The transconductance control circuit is connected to the first and second output nodes and has a second transconductance. The transconductance control circuit is configured to adjust the second transconductance based on a digital control signal.

    Abstract: A transmitting circuit includes a positive differential node, a negative differential node, a voltage mode driver, and a current mode driver. The voltage mode driver generates a first positive differential signal and a first negative differential signal. The voltage mode driver provides the first positive differential signal to the positive differential node and provides the first negative differential signal to the negative differential node. The current mode driver generates a second positive differential signal and a second negative differential signal. The current mode driver provides the second positive differential signal to the positive differential node and provides the second negative differential signal to the negative differential node. A differential signal voltage swing width between the positive differential node and the negative differential node is based at least on the operational state of the current mode driver and/or the voltage mode driver.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for driving a SERDES circuit, which may reduce waste of a space of the SERDES circuit. The circuit driving method includes generating a common clock signal from a common phase locked loop (PLL) supplying a clock signal to a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) circuit, distributing the common clock signal to an eye opening monitor and a data transmission lane in the SERDES circuit, and driving the eye opening monitor and the data transmission lane using the common clock signal.

    Abstract: Provided is a clock data recovery circuit including a phase-frequency detector configured to detect a frequency and phase of a reference clock signal and control a frequency and phase of an internal clock signal based on the detected frequency, a frequency detector configured to detect a frequency of a data signal and, based on the detected frequency of the data signal, adjust the frequency of the internal clock signal; and a phase detector configured to detect a phase of the data signal based on the detected frequency of the data signal and adjust the phase of the internal clock signal. Accordingly, a timing controller that includes the clock data recovery circuit is capable of establishing data communication at high speeds when the system is powered on/off to reduce power consumption. Also, the timing controller does not need to include an additional external clock generation device, and is capable of achieving frequency synchronization using a non-precision clock signal generated in the timing controller.
