Abstract: An apparatus configured to apply equalization to an input data signal and detect data based on the equalized data signal. The apparatus includes a passive equalizer comprising a first signal path configured to generate a first signal based on an input signal, and a second signal path configured to generate a second signal by filtering the input signal. The apparatus further includes a sense amplifier having an input circuit configured to generate a third signal related to a combination of the first and second signals, and a data detection circuit configured to generate data based on the third signal. The data detection circuit may be configured as a strong-arm latch. The third signal may be a differential current signal including positive and negative current components. The strong-arm latch generating data based on whether the positive current component is greater than the negative current component.

Abstract: Systems and methods for converting digital signals into clock phases are disclosed. An example digital-to-phase converter circuit receives a complementary in-phase and quadrature clock signals and produces four clock outputs at a phase controlled by a digital phase control input. The digital-to-phase converter uses first and second pre-driver modules to buffer the -phase and quadrature clock signals and produce corresponding buffered clock signals having controlled slew rates. Mixer modules produce the clock outputs by forming weighted combinations of the buffered clock signals. The weighting is determined based on the phase control input. The controlled slew rates of the buffered clock signals allow digital mixer module to provide accurate phase control. The digital-to-phase converter may also include an output buffer that compensates for nonlinearities in the relationship between the phases of the clock outputs and the phase control input.

Abstract: A phase interpolator is provided with a plurality of slices. Each slice includes a first switch for mixing a first clock signal into an interpolated output signal and a second switch for mixing a second clock signal into the interpolated output signal. In response to a high-resolution signal, at least one of the slices may switch on both the first switch and the second switch.

Abstract: In one embodiment, method for frequency division comprises propagating a modulus signal up a chain of cascaded divider stages from a last one of the divider stages to a first one of the divider stages, and, for each of the divider stages, generating a respective local load signal when the modulus signal propagates out of the divider stage. The method also comprises, for each of the divider stages, inputting one or more respective control bits to the divider stage based on the respective local load signal, the one or more respective control bits setting a divider value of the divider stage.
