Improving signal integrity in differential signal systems
InactiveUS6886065B2Improves differential signal integrityEnhanced signalReliability increasing modificationsBaseband system detailsSignal qualityDifferential signaling
Over-terminating the differential mode impedance of a differential transmission line, such as an INFINIBAND™ cable, at the receiving end, improves the differential signal integrity for typical variations in termination network impedance component (e.g., resistor) and transmission line characteristics. Eye opening of the differential signal can be made larger with reduced attenuation but increased jitter compared to under-terminating the differential mode impedance. Because the differential signal quality (larger eye opening) is improved, data can be transmitted over a longer transmission line with the same transmitter and receiver.

An eye-opening margin measurement method for a high-speed serial data reception circuit which uses a circuit for eye-opening margin measurement involving operation of a clock data recovery circuit without fixing the clock phase. In this method, an error acceleration test can also be made on received data by giving an offset pulse signal to phase information to add a jitter component. The method uses a semiconductor integrated circuit device which includes a serializer / deserializer circuit (SerDes) for receiving serial data and a reference serializer / deserializer circuit (Ref_SerDes) for receiving an accompanying clock signal. The SerDes circuit converts received serial data into parallel data through a recovery clock whose phase is controlled using phase control signal P_CS generated by the Ref_SerDes circuit. An offset pulse signal Offset_Pulse from the pulse-forming circuit is applied to the phase control signal P_CS to make eye-opening margin measurement.

On-chip receiver eye finder circuit for high-speed serial link
ActiveUS20080005629A1Minimize the numberArea minimizationTelevision system detailsElectrical testingVoltage generatorVoltage reference
In a high-speed serial link, an eye finder diagnostic circuit has improved performance by being on-chip with the existing capture latch(es) of a receive equalizer. The eye finder circuit employs an additional capture latch with its input tied to the same input node as the existing capture latch(es) of a receive equalizer. The additional capture latch has a clock input and reference voltage input. The clock input is adjusted through a phase interpolator (or variable delay line) while the reference voltage input is adjusted by a voltage generator. A digital post processing circuit then compares the output of the additional capture latch with the output of the other existing capture latch(es), in order to determine the receive eye opening. The horizontal eye opening is measured by changing the phase of the additional capture latch through the phase interpolator, while the vertical eye opening is measured by changing the reference voltage of the voltage generator of the additional capture latch. The eye finder circuit, being on-chip and in-line with existing capture latch(es), employs a minimum of power, minimum of area, and minimizes the extra loading to the existing equalizer output.
