Low cost high speed data cable

Номер: US20120012359A1
Принадлежит: Redmere Tech Ltd

A high speed video cable carries signals according to the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) or DisplayPort standards, and includes a raw cable. The raw cable is constructed with either Shielded Twisted Pairs (STP) or coaxial lines which carry all signals on either shielded conductors or their shields. Some auxiliary signals including power are carried on ungrounded shields. This achieves a reduction in the number of wires in the cable leading to a thinner, lighter, and less costly HDMI or DisplayPort Cable. The use of a uniform technology, either STP or coax, also permits simpler and lower cost production and assembly of the cable.

High speed data cable including a boost device for generating a differential signal

Номер: US20120012389A1
Принадлежит: Redmere Tech Ltd

A high speed video cable carries signals according to the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), and includes a raw cable and a boost device. Each of four high speed video signals is carried on the inner conductors of a pair of coaxial lines in the raw cable. The boost device receives only one of the polarities of one of the high speed video signals, and generates a differential signal therefrom. Lower speed signals are carried on the galvanically or capacitively coupled shields of a pair of coaxial lines, thus permitting fourteen HDMI signals to be carried in a cable comprising only eight coaxial lines, resulting in a simpler and lower cost production and assembly of the cable.

Assessment of on-chip circuit based on eye-pattern asymmetry

Номер: US20120025889A1
Автор: Jianghui Su
Принадлежит: Oracle International Corp

During an asymmetry testing mode of an integrated circuit, the asymmetry of an on-chip I/O circuit is tested. In particular, a transmitter circuit in the integrated circuit transmits electrical signals, which are associated with a predefined data pattern, to a receiver circuit in the integrated circuit via a communication channel (such as a differential pair of signal lines). Then the integrated circuit generates an eye pattern using the received electrical signals, and determines an asymmetry of the eye pattern about a common reference level of the received electrical signals. Furthermore, the integrated circuit performs remedial action based on the determined asymmetry. For example, the integrated circuit may compare the determined asymmetry with a predefined asymmetry criterion and, if the asymmetry exceeds the predefined asymmetry criterion, may output a result of the comparison that indicates a failure of the asymmetry test.

A system is provided for high speed optical fiber data transmission by generating artificial wavefronts along multiple paths exhibiting spatial mutual orthogonality. Multiple independent signal streams are “structured” over a group of different propagation paths that are coherently organized by wavefront multiplexing and de-multiplexing techniques. Therefore, signal streams with enhanced throughput and reliability may be fully recovered at destinations via embedded diagnostic signals and optimization loops. Multiple optical channels are matched with multiple orthogonal wavefronts created by a signal pre-processor. A receiving end signal post-processor dynamically aligns propagation paths via diagnostic signals and orthogonality of the propagation wavefronts electronically. The multiple optical channels are coherently bonded into a single virtual channel, thereby increasing data bandwidth while reducing interference and unwanted multi-path effects. The wavefront multiplexing and de-multiplexing functions may be performed in a dedicated signal processor or may reside in a general-purpose microprocessor located in the user terminal.

In an embodiment, bandwidth extension is achieved by virtue of very small floating capacitors that are coupled around amplifier stages of the receiver front-end circuit. Each of the capacitors is configured to generate a negative capacitance for the preceding stage (e.g., equalizer or amplifier), thus extending the bandwidth of the preceding stage. A capacitively-degenerated cross-coupled transistor pair allows bandwidth extension for the final (e.g., amplifier) stage. Embodiments further enable DC offset compensation with the use of a digital feedback loop. The feedback loop can thus be turned on/off as needed, reducing power consumption.

Joint transmitter and receiver gain optimization for high-speed serial data systems

Номер: US20140098844A1
Принадлежит: LSI Corp

Embodiments of the present invention allow for adjustment of transmitter amplitude during joint transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) equalization. During joint TX and RX adaptation, when the receiver requires a gain update, the receiver gain update is masked above or below a preset range. The RX gain update (instruction) is encoded into a transmitter amplitude update (instruction) transferred through back channel communication. The translation of RX gain to TX amplitude update is performed after the RX gain reaches a specified range. Such masking, encoding and translation reserves a certain amount RX gain range to account for RX gain variation due to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) changes over time, and also to offer better linear equalization in the receiver over a constrained VGA bandwidth.
