Embodiment Construction

[0019] figure 1 A schematic diagram of an exemplary system with alternating current (AC) coupled links is shown. The system includes a transmit circuit (denoted "TX") configured to transmit a synchronization signal (denoted as a capacitor in the link to provide capacitive coupling) to a receive circuit (denoted "RX") over an AC-coupled link. The synchronization signal is used to trigger functions in the receiving circuit. For example, the synchronization signal may have one or more timing pulses, and the receiving circuitry may be triggered by or operate in response to a threshold crossing of the synchronization signal (ie, the synchronization signal changes polarity between a "high" and a "low" state). The proper operation of the system depends heavily on the integrity of the synchronization signals. The correct synchronization signal ensures that the function in the receiving circuit will be triggered when required, and when the function is triggered, the function is trigg...

Abstract

In one example implementation, the present disclosure provides a direct current (DC) restoration circuit for restoring the DC component of a synchronization signal provided over an alternating current (AC) coupled link from a transmitting circuit to a receiving circuit. During a period of inactivity in the synchronization signal, the synchronization signal may experience a drift towards the common mode, and may affect the ability for the synchronization signal to properly trigger the receiving circuit. The DC restoration circuit is configured to hold the synchronization signal steady during the period of inactivity, and allow the AC component of the synchronization signal pass through to the receiving circuit during the period of activity to alleviate the problem of baseline drift in the synchronization signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to maintaining a proper direct current (DC) component on an alternating current (AC) coupled link, and more particularly to maintaining a proper DC component of a synchronization signal on an alternating current (AC) coupled link. Background technique [0002] Circuits are usually made up of multiple modules. Modules are typically provided on signal paths where one module can be activated or synchronized with another module via synchronization signals on one or more links. For example, a logic device (i.e., on the sending side) can output a synchronization signal over a link to another logic device (i.e., on the receiving side), which can then be triggered to perform a function according to a timing pulse and / or by the synchronization Threshold crossing trigger of the signal. [0003] For performance reasons, alternating current (AC) coupling or capacitive coupling has been used in the link, where a capacitor i...
