    Abstract: Among other things, the present invention addresses timing issues related to a polarity control scheme in DFE implementation. Multiplexing that may be necessary for implementing a polarity control scheme is incorporated into multiplexing that may be required to convert half rate data into full rate data in a delay element of a DFE. Clocking signals are provided to a multiplexer that are encoded with polarity information. The various clock signals are generated using a clock generation circuit that incorporates polarity control.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a duty cycle detection circuit, a comparator circuit, and a tuning circuit. The duty cycle detection circuit receives a clock signal, such as a system clock signal, and detects the level of duty cycle distortion in the clock signal. The comparator circuit then generates an output based on the level of duty cycle distortion that is detected in the clock signal. The tuning circuit may accordingly adjust the clock signal based on the output generated by the comparator circuit to produce an adjusted clock output signal. As an example, the clock output signal produced by the tuning circuit after the adjustment may have a 50% (or significantly close to 50%) duty cycle.

    Abstract: A link simulation tool for simulating high-speed communications link systems is provided. Communications links may include link subsystems such as transmit (TX) circuitry, receive (TX) circuitry, oscillator circuits that provide reference clock signals to the TX and RX circuitry, and channels that link the TX and RX circuitry. The link simulation tool may model each of the subsystems using behavioral models. The behavioral models may include characteristic functions such as transfer functions, probability density functions, and eye characteristics. The link simulation tool may have a link analysis engine that is capable of performing two-dimensional (two-variable) convolution operations and in applying dual-domain (frequency-time) transformations on the characteristic functions provided by the behavioral models to simulate the performance of the link system. The link simulation tool may have an input screen that allows a user to specify desired link parameters and a data display screen that display simulated results.

    Abstract: Serializer circuitry for high-speed serial data transmitter circuitry on a programmable logic device (“PLD”) or the like includes circuitry for converting parallel data having any of several data widths to serial data. The circuitry can also operate at any frequency in a wide range of frequencies, and can make use of reference clock signals having any of several relationships to the parallel data rate and/or the serial data rate. The circuitry is configurable/re-configurable in various respects, at least some of which configuration/re-configuration can be dynamically controlled (i.e., during user-mode operation of the PLD).
