    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for calibrating clocking circuits for improved jitter performance. Embodiments operate in context of a clocking circuit coupled with a transceiver system that has a receiver that tracks a recovered clock phase according to a tracking code. For example, candidate configurations can be identified, each corresponding to a different respective combination of parameter values for programmable clocking circuit parameters. For each candidate configuration, embodiments can configure the clocking system accordingly, and can sample the tracking code over a sample window to measure a tracking code spread for the candidate configuration. The clocking circuit can be programmed according to which of the candidate configurations manifested a minimum tracking code spread, thereby effectively configuring the clocking circuit for minimum jitter generation and optimizing jitter performance of the transceiver.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for duty cycle distortion compensation is disclosed. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a differential signal transmitter having a main data path and a compensation data path. The main data path includes a first and second differential driver circuits each having output terminals coupled to a differential output. A transmission controller is configured to transmit data into the main and compensation data paths, the data corresponding to pairs of sequentially transmitted bits including an odd data bit followed by an even data bit, and further configured to determine respective duty cycle widths for each of the odd and even data bits as received by the transmission controller. The transmission controller is configured to cause the first and second driver circuits to equalize the respective duty cycle widths of the odd and even data bits, as transmitted, based their respective duty cycle widths as received.

    Abstract: A data receiver circuit includes a summer circuit configured to receive an input signal that encodes multiple data symbols, and combine the input signal with a feedback signal to generate an equalized input signal, which is used to generate a clock signal. The data receiver circuit also includes multiple data slicer circuits that sample, using the clock signal and multiple voltage offsets, to generate multiple samples for a particular data symbol. A precursor compensation circuit included in the data receiver circuit may generate an output value for the particular data symbol using the multiple samples. The data receiver circuit also includes a post cursor compensation circuit that generates the feedback signal using at least one of the multiple samples and a value of a previously received sample.

    Abstract: A reference generator for use with serial link data communication is disclosed. Broadly speaking, a decision circuit may perform a comparison between a particular data symbol included in a serial data stream and a difference between a voltage level of a first signal and a voltage level of a second signal, and generate an output data value based on a result of the comparison. A reference generator circuit may selectively sink a first current value from either the first signal or the second signal based upon another output data value generated from another data symbol included in the serial data stream that was received prior to the particular data symbol.

    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for applying a controllable early/late offset to an at-rate clock data recovery (CDR) system. Some embodiments operate in context of a CDR circuit of a serializer/deserializer (SERDES). For example, slope asymmetry around the first precursor of the channel pulse response for the SERDES can tend to skew at-rate CDR determinations of whether to advance or retard clocking. Accordingly, embodiments use asymmetric voting thresholds for generating each of the advance and retard signals in an attempt to de-skew the voting results and effectively tune the CDR to a position either earlier or later than the first precursor zero crossing (i.e., h(−1)=0) position. This can improve link margin and data recovery, particularly for long data channels and/or at higher data rates.
