Benefits of technology

The patent describes two circuits that can be used to transmit signals between two devices using a serial data protocol. One circuit uses a voltage-mode approach and the other uses a current-mode approach. These circuits can be used in various devices such as displays, storage devices, and communication devices. The circuits provide different levels of signaling bandwidth and can be controlled based on the state of a signal detector. The technical effects of the patent are improved signaling bandwidth and better control over signaling levels.

Problems solved by technology

The rapidly growing throughput speeds for various I / O (input / output) standards is causing signal conditioning circuit design specifications to become more demanding and complicated.

Abstract

Repeaters are described that operate to rapidly transition from low-power standby states to a low frequency signal transmission state. Bandwidth for high-frequency signal transmission is preserved.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]With the rapid increase in the volume of data consumption on mobile devices, the need for high bandwidth, compact, and power conserving signal conditioning circuits is growing. To support the high data volumes, signal conditioning circuits must satisfy stringent performance specifications, such as fast setup when exiting power down modes, low jitter, and low standby bias current. The rapidly growing throughput speeds for various I / O (input / output) standards is causing signal conditioning circuit design specifications to become more demanding and complicated.[0002]The signal conditioning performed by a repeater is a critical task in serial communication systems. Repeaters are used in a wide range of applications, including redrivers and retimers. One objective of repeaters is to regenerate signals to boost the signal quality of high-speed interfaces. Repeaters are a key technology for addressing the signal integrity challenges that higher data rates introduce across e...
