Abstract: An integrated CMOS circuit is disclosed for deinterleaving transmitted data packets. The circuit operates with a RAM buffer that is no larger than a block of interleaved data. An optimized addressing scheme is provided that minimizes on-chip hardware. The circuit provides an orderly initialization of the buffer, and a suitable emptying process during a channel change or other interruption of data flow.

Abstract: A CMOS integrated signal processing system for a sampling receiver includes a timing recovery circuit, wherein an on-chip numerically controlled oscillator is operative at periods T that are initially equal to the nominal baud rate of the signals controls a sinc interpolator receiving samples at the sampling rate. A loop filter is coupled to the sinc interpolator and to the numerically controlled oscillator. The arrangement is capable of handling various symbol rates. The system includes a circuit for carrier recovery having a second on-chip numerically controlled oscillator, a digital derotation circuit responsive to the second numerically controlled oscillator, accepting an in phase component and a quadrature component of the sampled signals. An adaptive phase error estimation circuit is coupled in a feedback loop.

Abstract: An integrated digital communication system utilizing multilevel vestigial sideband transmission is provided. The communication system receives a multi-level pulse-amplitude modulated digital signal from a limited bandwidth channel. The system includes processing stages which demodulate, sample and filter the incoming signal prior to recovery of the digital data. Other stages recover the timing and lock on to the frequency and phase of the transmitted signal, as well as provide for automatic gain control. An adaptive equalizer, error correction circuitry, and an output interface recover the digital data and provide for transfer to other devices.
