    摘要: Method and apparatus for packeted analysis, comprising: testing a phase rotator at a plurality of phase rotator positions, by propagating a first series of bits of a first pattern through a channel of an integrated circuit; propagating a second series of bits of a second pattern through the channel; measuring, for the given phase rotator position, a value of each bit propagated through the channel; and in response to determining that measured values of the bits propagated through the channel conform to one of the first pattern and the second pattern, indicating that the given phase rotator position satisfies an accuracy threshold; determining a sequence of phase rotator positions of the plurality of phase rotator positions in which the accuracy threshold is satisfied; and in response to determining that the sequence of phase rotator positions does not satisfy an eye width threshold, failing the channel of the integrated circuit.

    摘要: A digital data communications mechanism includes multiple parallel lines, in which components of one or more lines are temporarily powered down to save power. Preferably, both the transmitter and receiver contain respective generators generating identical pre-determined pseudo-random bit streams, which are initially synchronized and which remain powered up when the line is temporarily powered down. Upon re-powering the line, the transmitter transmits the locally generated bit stream, and the receiver compares the received bit stream with its internally generated bit stream to determine an amount of shift required for re-synchronization.

    摘要: An enhanced quadrature receive serial interface circuit and methods are provided for calibrating the quadrature receive serial interface circuit. A quadrature receive serial interface circuit comprises a first phase rotator and a second phase rotator generating quadrature clocks of identical frequency. Calibration of the quadrature receive serial interface circuit uses a pseudo random bit sequence (PRBS) received by the quadrature receive serial interface circuit. For calibration, one-half of the received PRBS bits are sampled and the phase rotator generating in-phase 0° and 180° clock signals is adjusted to center the data eye for the sampled half of the PRBS bits. Then all data bits (even and odd data bits) of the received PRBS bits are sampled and the phase rotator generating quadrature phase 90° and 270° clock signals is adjusted to center the data eye of all data bits of the PRBS bits to complete calibration.
