Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for monitoring and measuring signal characteristics for signals received over a multi-wire, multi-phase interface are disclosed. Signals present on each line of a 3-line communication interface are sampled using auxiliary samplers having a programmable time delay to delay the sampled signal by a set time, as well as a programmable voltage offset. The auxiliary sampler outputs are compared with direct line samples of signals on each of the three lines to generate error signals. From this comparison, an array of error signal data occurring over a particular sampling period may be generated. In turn, waveform characteristics can be determined from the error signal data, such as an eye-pattern. Furthermore, skew measurement may further be effectuated using the auxiliary samplers but determining the time difference of when the error signals of the different wires cross a predetermined threshold.

A method for calibrating a clock recovery circuit includes recovering a first clock signal from transitions between pairs of symbols representative of successive signaling states of a 3-wire interface, where each pair of symbols includes a first symbol and a second symbol, generating a second clock signal by delaying the first clock signal by a first delay value, generating a third clock signal by delaying the second clock signal, calibrating the second clock signal and the third clock signal by initializing the first delay value such that the first sampling circuit, the second sampling circuit and the third sampling circuit capture the same symbol in a first pair of symbols, and incrementally increasing the first delay value until the second sampling circuit and the third sampling circuit capture different symbols from each pair of symbols.

Abstract: In order to compensate for phase offset between different sets of circuitry having different synchronous clock domains, transmit (TX) circuitry of one domain is configured to transmit a pattern signal (e.g., a pseudo random bit sequence) to receive (RX) circuitry of the other domain. The RX circuitry cycles through a number of different phase-shifted RX clock signals to determine which selected clock signals result in valid RX pattern signals. The RX circuitry is then able to select one of the phase-shifted clock signals for use in normal processing of an RX data signal received from the TX circuitry.
