  • Patent number: 11190335
    Abstract: A method for performing pattern detection and alignment on a programmable logic device is disclosed. A word aligner unit, implemented by a hard intellectual property block, is configured to detect a plurality of control characters by recognizing a proper subset of bits that are common among the plurality of control characters. It is determined whether a predetermined number of consecutive control characters has been detected in a frame of data. A boundary location associated with a detected predetermined number of consecutive control characters from the word aligner unit is identified. The frame of data is aligned in response to the boundary location associated with the detected predetermined number of consecutive control characters.

  • Patent number: 10958411
    Abstract: Techniques to operate circuitry in an integrated circuit are provided. The circuitry may include rate detection circuitry, receiver circuitry, and configuration circuitry. The receiver circuitry may receive a data stream with an arbitrary data rate. The rate detection circuitry may receive a reference clock signal that is associated with the received data stream. The rate detection circuitry determines the frequency of the reference clock signal such that an appropriate clock signal may be generated for the receiver circuitry. The receiver clock signal may be generated by clock generation circuitry that is coupled to the rate detection circuitry. The configuration circuitry may accordingly configure the receiver circuitry based at least on the determined frequency of the reference clock signal so that the receiver circuitry may operate at the arbitrary data rate.

  • Publication number: 20190280850
    Abstract: A receiver circuit includes a transition density detector circuit that generates a transition density signal based on a comparison between a transition density of data words to a transition density threshold. The receiver circuit also includes a bit shift and pattern detector circuit that bit shifts one of the data words to generate bit shifted data in response to the transition density signal indicating that the transition density of the data words has reached the transition density threshold. The bit shift and pattern detector circuit counts a number of bits shifts performed on the bit shifted data to locate a synchronization character. The receiver circuit also includes a word alignment circuit that bit shifts the data words by the number of bits shifts to generate word aligned data.

  • Patent number: 8183883
    Abstract: A memory configuration circuit is provided. The memory configuration circuit may be integrated into a programmable logic device (PLD) and as such, may be used to configure and reconfigure specific elements in the PLD. The memory configuration circuit includes a comparator circuit and a counter. The comparator circuit is coupled to receive two data words from two different memory configuration sources. The comparator circuit compares the two data words received before writing one of the data words to a configuration memory. One of the data words may be written to the configuration memory if the two data words compared are not equal. The counter increments the address of the memory configuration sources so that a next data word can be processed after the current data word is processed.
