  • Patent number: 8938043
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a clock and data recovery (CDR) apparatus with adaptive optimum CDR bandwidth estimation by using a Kalman gain extractor. The Kalman gain extractor includes an off chip digital processor which receives a phase update information from the CDR outputs an estimated optimum Kalman gain obtained by extracting the standard deviation of step sizes of the accumulation jitter from the power spectral density (PSD) of the phase update information, and a on chip digital loop filter consists of a cyclic accumulator which accumulates the phase detector's output, a gain multiplier and a phase interpolator (or DCO) controller. The off chip digital processor includes a storage register, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor and an optimum Kalman gain estimator. The storage register stores the phase update information, from which the FFT processor extracts the PSD of the absolute input jitter.

  • Patent number: 8917116
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to an output waveform synthesizer using phase interpolators and an on-chip eye opening monitoring (EOM) circuit for a low-power transmitter. In order to achieve both small area and low-power consumption in the transmitter design, a single-stage multiphase multiplexer operating in subrate is employed. The multiphase multiplexer is composed of parallelized open-drain NAND gates. In subrate transmitter architecture, the phase mismatch among multiphase clock signals degrades jitter performance significantly and is a critical bottleneck for its widespread use despite low power consumption. In order to overcome such mismatch problem, an area-and-power-efficient phase interpolator based waveform synthesizing scheme is developed.
