  • Method and system for a configurable Vcc reference and Vss reference differential current mode transmitter
    Patent number: 7446572
    Abstract: A method and system for a configurable Vcc reference and Vss reference differential current mode transmitter is described. The system includes a Vss reference differential current mode driver, a Vcc reference differential current mode driver coupled to the Vss reference current mode driver, and a controller circuit coupled to the Vss reference differential current mode driver and the Vcc reference differential current mode driver to select between the Vss reference differential current mode driver and the Vcc reference differential current mode driver based on a type of transmission interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for detecting strobe errors
    Patent number: 6715111
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting data strobe errors. A strobe error detection circuit has a strobe input and a counter coupled to the strobe input to count strobe pulses received. The circuit also has a comparator to determine if a strobe error has occurred based on the magnitude of the difference between a first count of strobe pulses and a second count of strobe pulses. In an embodiment, the first count is read from a memory location at a first time and the second count is read at a second time.
