    摘要: A serial communication system includes a receiver with an amplitude monitor. The amplitude monitor compares the input signal with a reference level in response to a sample clock. The sample clock is periodically phase shifted with respect to the incoming data so the amplitude monitor is sure to sample an incoming data eye at or near the peak amplitude over a selected sample period. The amplitude detector notes the detection of an input signal if the input signal surpasses the reference level for any sample phase. The amplitude monitor experiments with different sample-clock phases over a number of data symbols, but is capable of measuring amplitude fast enough to resolve amplitude-based signals used for rate negotiation.”

    摘要: An adaptive receiver equalizes incoming data expressed as a series of symbols, the degree of equalization being adjusted by some adaptive control logic. An amplitude detector samples the amplitude of the eye openings of incoming symbols and conveys the resulting measures of eye amplitude to the adaptive control logic. The control logic experiments with different equalization settings while monitoring the resulting eye amplitude to find the equalization setting that provides incoming data eyes of the highest amplitude. A data filter may be included to enable the amplitude detector only in response to particular incoming data patterns.

    摘要: A tracking switch includes an MOS switching transistor with a control terminal coupled to a CMOS inverter. The relative geometries of the transistors that make up the inverter are significantly imbalanced, resulting is substantially different drive strengths (i.e., substantially different on-resistances). The gate of the switching transistor exhibits parasitic capacitances between its current-handling terminals and its control terminal. When the switching transistor is on, these capacitances shunt a portion of the switched signal to a power-supply node, with the problem increasing with the frequency of the propagated signal. The geometry of the transistor used to turn on the switching transistor is selected to produce a high on-resistance, which introduces a high-impedance path from the control terminal of the switching transistor to ground when the switch is closed. The high-impedance path isolates the control terminal of the switching transistor from the supply, thus mitigating the capacitive loading effects of the parasitic capacitors. The transistor used to turn off the switching transistor has a much lower on-resistance than the transistor used to bias the switching transistor on, preventing undesirable signal feed-through from occurring when the switching transistor is off.

    摘要: The timing circuit includes at least one delay element and its supply voltage is obtained from an active current source. The current source is a current mirror which is driven by a differential amplifier. The differential amplifier compares a voltage on the delay element supply line to a voltage on a current control node connected to a voltage controlled current source. An RC compensating circuit may be coupled to the current control node.
