Noise down conversion for jitter reduction

A down-sampling function folds the thermal noise into a lower frequency band. A capacitor samples a voltage during a period of bus inactivity and supplies the sampled voltage to an input of operational amplifier in a loop filter of a phase-locked loop when the bus is active. The sampling frequency determines the reduction in thermal noise that can be achieved. The PLL generates a clock signal for a bus. A voltage generator charges the capacitor through a transistor when the bus is inactive. The transistor turns on responsive to the bus being inactive to allow the capacitor to charge and the transistor turns off responsive to the bus being active to isolate the capacitor and operational amplifier from the voltage generator. When the bus is active, the voltage across the capacitor is supplied to the operational amplifier.

Digital signal processing method and system based on FPGA

The invention discloses a digital signal processing method and system based on an FPGA, relates to the field of digital signal processing, and introduces a staged variable bandwidth CDR strategy. In the initial stage, the signal frequency offset is quickly estimated through feedforward frequency analysis, and a high-bandwidth loop is started on the basis of the signal frequency offset, so that top-speed locking is realized, and the requirements of production testing and other scenes on efficiency are met. When the system confirms that locking is stable through hardware logic, a multi-step interpolation state machine is triggered, the state machine can smoothly switch the coefficient of the loop filter from a high bandwidth mode to a low bandwidth mode without disturbance, and the lock losing risk in the switching process is avoided. Finally, in a stable low-bandwidth mode, the system can perform accurate jitter decomposition and data analysis by using a high-precision recovery clock. In this way, the two modes of rapid capture and high-precision measurement are fused in one operation process, and the static design limitation in the prior art is solved.
