  • Providing A Feedback Loop In A Low Latency Serial Interconnect Architecture
    Publication number: 20120154185
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a de-serializer to receive serial data at a first rate and to output a parallel data frame corresponding to the serial data aligned to a frame alignment boundary in response to a phase control signal received from a feedback loop coupled between the de-serializer and a receiver logic coupled to an output of the de-serializer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Maintaining convergence of a receiver during changing conditions
    Patent number: 8130939
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes an apparatus having an automatic gain control (AGC) stage to receive an input signal from a communication channel physical medium, a first local gain stage coupled to an output of the AGC stage, an equalizer coupled to an output of the first local gain stage, an echo canceller to receive local data to be transmitted along the communication channel physical medium, and a second local gain stage coupled to an output of the echo canceller. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
