A more cost effective wander jitter filter utilizes an excursion detector that receives a timing difference between a first signal and a second signal and supplies a first adjustment amount if a magnitude of the timing difference is above a predetermined threshold and otherwise supplies a second adjustment amount of zero. A summing circuit adjusts a magnitude of the timing difference by the first or second adjustment amount. A loop filter receives the summing circuit output and controls an oscillator. The excursion detector output (first adjustment value or zero according to the magnitude of the timing difference) is low pass filtered and the low pass filtered is reintroduced into the oscillator output or the feedback loop. The excursion detector output is accumulated and used to adjust a phase of the feedback signal from the oscillator.

In one embodiment of the invention, a method is disclosed to generate a clock output signal with selected phase. The method includes selecting a phase delay for the clock output signal; charging a capacitor with a first weighted current during a first phase input clock, charging the capacitor with a second weighted current during a portion of a second phase input clock, and determining if a voltage across the capacitor is greater than or equal to a threshold voltage to generate a first edge of the clock output signal with the selected phase delay. The first weighted current may have a weighting of N out of M to charge the capacitor with a predetermined rate of change in voltage in response to the selected phase delay. The second weighted current may have a weighting of M out of M to charge the capacitor with a constant rate of change.

An information processing apparatus is provided which includes a transmission unit for transmitting a query request for querying another device for a count value held by such other device, a reception unit for receiving a return of the count value from such other device, a correction unit for performing, at a predetermined period, correction processing for synchronizing sampling frequency with such other device based on the received count value, and a reproduction unit for reproducing content in synchronization with such other device based on the sampling frequency. The correction unit corrects by taking into account a Round Trip Time between the transmission of the query request and the reception of the return and residual difference occurred at a previous correction time.
摘要:
The available bandwidth of an Input/Output (I/O) communications link is increased by removing the need for retraining events on a communications link. This results in removing a potentially severe system performance degradation penalty that may occur from data traffic stoppage during the retraining events. The available bandwidth is further increased by removing a timing error which results in increasing a timing margin for other components. This results in an increase in the maximum speed of systems with high speed I/O and communication transceiver Integrated Circuits (IC)s.
