  • Low latency re-timer
    Patent number: 10673774
    Abstract: Described is a low latency re-timer for systems supporting spread spectrum clocking. The re-timer comprises: a first clock frequency estimator to estimate a frequency of a receive clock (RX CLK) and to provide a first timestamp associated with a first clock that underwent spread spectrum; a second clock frequency estimator to estimate a frequency of a transmit clock (TX CLK) and to provide a second timestamp associated with a second clock that underwent spread spectrum; and a comparator to compare the first timestamp with the second timestamp.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 24, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 2, 2020
    Assignee: Intel Corporation
    Inventors: Ehud Udi Shoor, Ari Sharon

  • Apparatus and method for calibrating high speed serial receiver analog front end and phase detector
    Patent number: 10139438
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided which comprises: an amplifier; a first slicer coupled to the amplifier; a de-serializer coupled to an output of the first slicer; a multiplexer which is operable to select one of data or a test signal for the amplifier; a filter coupled to an input of the multiplexer to provide test signal; and a frequency modulator coupled to the filter, wherein the frequency modulator is operable to modulate frequency of the test signal. An apparatus is also provided which comprises: an analog multiplexer having a first input to receive serial data, and a second input; an analog front-end (AFE) coupled to an output of the analog multiplexer; and a filter coupled to the second input of the analog multiplexer.
