  • Publication number: 20230344615
    Abstract: A circuit and a method for removing spread spectrum are provided. The circuit includes a data clock recovery module and a clock extraction module that are connected. The data clock recovery module performs clock recovery on an input signal carrying spread spectrum information to obtain a parallel clock signal and a first signal, where the parallel clock signal includes frequency information and phase information, and the first signal includes the frequency information. The clock extraction module divides a frequency of the parallel clock signal to obtain a reference clock signal; acquires a feedback clock signal based on the first signal; acquires a de-spread clock signal based on the reference clock signal and the feedback clock signal, where the de-spread clock signal includes the phase information and does not include the frequency information; and divides a frequency of the de-spread clock signal to obtain an output clock signal.

  • Patent number: 11108387
    Abstract: A high speed signal drive circuit includes a D-PHY drive signal generation module, a C-PHY drive signal generation module, a drive signal selection module and a multiplex drive module. An output terminal of the D-PHY drive signal generation module and an output terminal of the C-PHY drive signal generation module are both connected to an input terminal of the drive signal selection module. An output terminal of the drive signal selection module is connected to an input terminal of the multiplex drive module. The drive signal selection module controls control switches of the multiplex drive module to be on and off based on a D-PHY drive signal or a C-PHY drive signal, so that the multiplex drive module functions as a D-PHY drive circuit or a C-PHY drive circuit. Thus, dual functions of the D-PHY drive circuit and the C-PHY drive circuit can be realized.

  • Patent number: 10855264
    Abstract: A circuit for generating differential reference voltages, a circuit for detecting a signal peak, and an electronic device. In the circuit for generating reference voltages, a common-mode extraction circuit receives a first differential signal and a second differential signal, extracts a common-mode level from the first differential signal and the second differential signal, and applies the common-mode level to a non-inverting input terminal of a first operational amplifier. The first operational amplifier, a main control switch, a first voltage dividing resistor, a second voltage dividing resistor, and a first direct current power source constitute a feedback loop, to generate differential reference voltages matching with the common-mode level. Adjusting a current provided by the first direct current power source can change the differential reference voltages, obtaining a reference for to-be-detected amplitude of the signals.

  • Patent number: 10707863
    Abstract: A power-on reset circuit is provided. During a power-on process of the power-on reset circuit, a threshold voltage of an output signal rstn jumping from a low level to a high level is adjusted by clamp of a voltage at a node c and voltage division between a first resistor and a second resistor, and is controlled to be greater than a threshold voltage of a metal oxide semiconductor device. During a power-off process of the power-on reset circuit, a threshold voltage of the output signal rstn jumping from the high level to the low level is adjusted by increasing a voltage at a node d by means of a third resistor and voltage division between the first resistor and the third resistor, and is controlled to be greater than the threshold voltage of the metal oxide semiconductor device.

    Abstract: A Biphase Mark Coding (BMC) transceiver is provided. In the BMC transceiver, an operational amplifier operating in a time division multiplexing manner is used. The operational amplifier is configured as a unity gain buffer, and it is determined whether the BMC transceiver operates as a transmitter or a receiver by selecting different input switches and output switches. In a transmitting mode, a bias current of an input differential pair transistor of the operational amplifier is changed, to change a slew rate, so as to obtain an output waveform with adjustable rising/falling edges of the transmitter.

  • Patent number: 10404271
    Abstract: A biphase mark coding transmitter is provided. In the biphase mark coding transmitter, a delay control unit performs equal-interval delay processing on data transmitted by a data coding and protocol processing unit. Then, the current-steering digital-to-analog converter is controlled to charge or discharge a resistance-capacitance circuit to obtain an accurately-controlled conversion time. Data with the controlled conversion time is driven to a CC by a unity-gain buffer to generate an output waveform. The technical solution solves the technical problem of a mutual influence between power source systems of a traditional BMC transmitter which is a digital module and a traditional BMC receiver which is an analog module, and the technical problem of a large noise of a power switch and large consumption of chip area and power which are resulted from digital buffers driven by equal-interval data or clocks in a traditional BMC transmitter.

  • Patent number: 10193552
    Abstract: The termination resistor calibration circuit and a control method thereof are provided. The resistance of the termination resistor of the CML transmitter is directly calibrated, so that the error caused by duplicating the resistor can be avoided, which improves the calibration accuracy. In addition, no duplicated resistor and constant current source is required, which reduces the area occupied by the circuit. Further, the absolute current and the relative current are obtained from the bandgap module and thus have high accuracy. The output signal control module, the constant current source, and the termination resistors of the CML transmitter can be used for transmitting signals after the resistance calibration is finished, which improves the utilization of the circuit module.
