Description

量測系統及資料傳輸介面 Measurement system and data transmission interface

本揭示內容是有關於一種量測系統及資料傳輸介面,且特別是有關於抗抖動能力的量測系統及資料傳輸介面。 The present disclosure relates to a measurement system and a data transmission interface, and more particularly to a measurement system and a data transmission interface for anti-jitter capability.

在資料傳輸介面(Data Transmission Interface)中,抖動(Jitter)是指週期訊號的期望值隨時間的偏離。由於某些抖動是不可避免的,所以存在對現代資料傳輸介面要表現出一定抖動容忍且仍滿足性能要求的需求。實際上,許多行業標準要求資料傳輸介面需具有根據不同指標測量的最低抖動容限(Jitter Tolerance)。因此,製造商、研究人員、工程師和最終用戶非常關注資料傳輸介面或晶片的抗抖動能力及其量測方法。傳統上,已存在一種資料傳輸介面之抗抖動能力的量測方法,即利用量測設備將抖動與輸出資料傳送至資料傳輸介面,再透過分析資料傳輸介面的輸出來確定資料傳輸介面的最低抖動容限,作為其抗抖動能力的評估。 In the Data Transmission Interface, jitter refers to the deviation of the expected value of the periodic signal from time. Since some jitter is unavoidable, there is a need for a modern data transmission interface to exhibit some jitter tolerance and still meet performance requirements. In fact, many industry standards require that the data transfer interface have a minimum jitter tolerance (Jitter Tolerance) measured against different metrics. Therefore, manufacturers, researchers, engineers, and end users are very concerned about the anti-jitter capability of the data transfer interface or wafer and its measurement methods. Traditionally, there has been a measurement method for the anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface, that is, the measurement device is used to transmit the jitter and output data to the data transmission interface, and then the output of the data transmission interface is analyzed to determine the minimum jitter of the data transmission interface. Tolerance, as an assessment of its anti-jitter capability.

然而,傳統上較低階的量測設備大多無法量測到資料傳輸介面在跨時域(clock domain crossing)操作時 的抗抖動能力,特別在高頻操作時的抗抖動能力。另外,高階量測設備雖然可以量測到資料傳輸介面在跨時域(clock domain crossing)操作時的抗抖動能力,唯其售價相對昂貴,並非一般量測單位所能負擔。 However, traditionally lower-order measurement devices are mostly unable to measure the data transmission interface during clock domain crossing operations.

The measurement system 1 includes a data transmission interface 16, a signal generator 12, and a signal receiver 14. The data transmission interface 16 is coupled to the signal generator 12 and the signal receiver 14 respectively. In addition, as shown, the data transmission interface 16 includes a receiving circuit 162, a synchronization circuit 164, and a transmitting circuit 166, wherein the receiving circuit 162 and the transmitting circuit 166 operate on different Non-common clocks, respectively. In the connection relationship, the receiving circuit 162 is coupled to the signal generator 12. The synchronization circuit 164 is coupled to the receiving circuit 162. The transmitting circuit 166 is coupled to the synchronization circuit 164 and the signal receiver 14. The measurement system 1 shown in FIG. 1 is only an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

為使第1圖所示之量測系統1的操作方式易於理解,茲繪式第2圖,其係根據本揭示內容之一些實施例所繪示之一種量測波形200的示意圖。請一併參閱第1圖與第2圖,量測系統1的操作方式將配合上述兩圖而於後文中詳細進行說明。 In order to make the operation mode of the measurement system 1 shown in FIG. 1 easy to understand, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a measurement waveform 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. The operation mode of the measurement system 1 will be described in detail later in conjunction with the above two figures.

於操作關係上,訊號產生器12用以傳送一筆載 有抖動訊號的輸入資料Di給資料傳輸介面16。資料傳輸介面16的接收電路162係受控於致能信號Enable1而啟動,用以接收該筆輸入資料Di,並判斷該筆輸入資料Di是否正確。另外,資料傳輸介面16的發射電路166係受控於致能信號Enable2而啟動,用以送出一輸出資料Do給訊號接收器14。前述中,當接收電路162接收的該筆輸入資料Di判斷為正確時,發射電路166係對應產生一筆正確的輸出資料Do送給訊號接收器14。此時,訊號接收器14即可得知資料傳輸介面16不會受到該筆抖動訊號所影響。 In the operational relationship, the signal generator 12 is used to transmit a load The input data Di with the dither signal is given to the data transmission interface 16. The receiving circuit 162 of the data transmission interface 16 is activated by the enable signal Enable1 for receiving the pen input data Di and determining whether the pen input data Di is correct. In addition, the transmitting circuit 166 of the data transmission interface 16 is activated by the enable signal Enable2 for sending an output data Do to the signal receiver 14. In the foregoing, when the pen input data Di received by the receiving circuit 162 is determined to be correct, the transmitting circuit 166 correspondingly generates a correct output data Do to the signal receiver 14. At this time, the signal receiver 14 can know that the data transmission interface 16 is not affected by the jitter signal.

接下來,訊號生器12傳送第二筆載有較強抖動訊號的輸入資料Di給資料傳輸介面16,若是該第二筆輸入資料Di判斷為正確,則發射電路166同樣的對應產生第二筆正確的輸出資料Do送給訊號接收器14。反之,若是該第二筆輸入資料Di判斷為不正確,則發射電路166即產生載有錯誤回報資料FD的輸出資料Do送給訊號接收器14。如此,訊號接收器14即可根據收到的輸出資料Do進而量測出資料傳輸介面16的最低抖動容限與抗抖動能力。 Next, the signal generator 12 transmits the second input data Di carrying the strong jitter signal to the data transmission interface 16. If the second input data Di is determined to be correct, the transmission circuit 166 correspondingly generates the second stroke. The correct output data Do is sent to the signal receiver 14. On the other hand, if the second input data Di is determined to be incorrect, the transmitting circuit 166 generates the output data Do carrying the error report data FD to the signal receiver 14. In this way, the signal receiver 14 can measure the minimum jitter tolerance and anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface 16 according to the received output data Do.

進一步來說,當該筆載有抖動訊號的輸入資料Di發生錯誤時,接收電路162會產生誤碼訊號SE,並將誤碼訊號SE送至同步電路164。同步電路164根據誤碼訊號SE進而產生誤碼指示訊號SI,並將誤碼指示訊號SI傳送至發射電路166,以通知發射電路166該筆載有抖動訊號的輸入資料Di已經發生錯誤。據此,發射電路166會根據誤碼指示訊號SI的通知,進而產生載有錯誤回報資料FD的輸出資 料Do,並將該載有錯誤回報資料FD的輸出資料Do送至訊號接收器14。 Further, when an error occurs in the input data Di of the pen carrying the dither signal, the receiving circuit 162 generates the error signal SE and sends the error signal SE to the synchronizing circuit 164. The synchronization circuit 164 further generates the error indication signal SI according to the error signal SE, and transmits the error indication signal SI to the transmitting circuit 166 to notify the transmitting circuit 166 that the input data Di carrying the jitter signal has an error. According to this, the transmitting circuit 166 generates the output resource carrying the error report data FD according to the notification of the error indication signal SI. The material Do is sent to the signal receiver 14 with the output data Do carrying the error report data FD.

如此,訊號接收器14將可以依據該筆載有錯誤回報資料FD的輸出資料Do加以量測出資料傳輸介面16的最低抖動容限與抗抖動能力。 In this way, the signal receiver 14 can measure the minimum jitter tolerance and anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface 16 according to the output data Do of the error report data FD.

須說明的是,接收電路162操作於第一時脈訊號CLK1,而發射電路166操作於第二時脈訊號CLK2。在一些實施例中,同步電路164基於跨時域(clock domain crossing;CDC)運作。同步電路164用以根據第一時脈訊號CLK1從接收電路162接收誤碼訊號SE,並根據第二時脈訊號CLK2輸出誤碼指示訊號SI至發射電路166。如此,同步電路164即作為接收電路162與發射電路166之間同步化溝通的橋梁。在一些實施例中,第一時脈訊號CLK1與第二時脈訊號CLK2是為同頻不同相位的時脈訊號或不同頻率的時脈訊號。須說明的是,接收電路162以及發射電路166如何根據資料對照表來進行協同操作,以使其在操作時脈不同步的情況下能夠有效量測資料傳輸介面16的抗抖動能力,將於後續實施例中詳細說明。 It should be noted that the receiving circuit 162 operates on the first clock signal CLK1, and the transmitting circuit 166 operates in the second clock signal CLK2. In some embodiments, synchronization circuit 164 operates based on clock domain crossing (CDC). The synchronization circuit 164 is configured to receive the error signal SE from the receiving circuit 162 according to the first clock signal CLK1, and output the error indication signal SI to the transmitting circuit 166 according to the second clock signal CLK2. As such, the synchronization circuit 164 serves as a bridge for synchronous communication between the receiving circuit 162 and the transmitting circuit 166. In some embodiments, the first clock signal CLK1 and the second clock signal CLK2 are clock signals of different phases of the same frequency or clock signals of different frequencies. It should be noted that the receiving circuit 162 and the transmitting circuit 166 perform cooperative operation according to the data comparison table, so that the anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface 16 can be effectively measured when the operating clock is not synchronized, which will be followed. The details are described in the examples.

在一些實施例中,訊號產生器12、訊號接收器14、接收電路162以及發射電路166各具有相同的資料對照表CT(參照第3圖)。在一些實施例中,訊號產生器12根據內部的資料對照表CT產生一筆載有抖動訊號的輸入資料Di。在一些實施例中,資料傳輸介面16中的接收電路162於接收到該筆輸入資料Di後,加以比對內部的資料對照表 CT與該筆輸入資料Di,用以判斷所接收到的該筆輸入資料Di是否正確無誤,並於資料錯誤發生時產生誤碼訊號SE。前述中,若是該筆輸入資料Di判斷為正確,則發射電路166將根據內部的資料對照表CT對應產生一筆正確的輸出資料Do,並將該筆正確的輸出資料Do送給訊號接收器14。訊號接收器14比對內部的資料對照表CT與該筆正確的輸出資料Do,進而量測出資料傳輸介面16具有抵抗該抖動訊號的能力。 In some embodiments, the signal generator 12, the signal receiver 14, the receiving circuit 162, and the transmitting circuit 166 each have the same data comparison table CT (see FIG. 3). In some embodiments, the signal generator 12 generates an input data Di carrying the dithered signal based on the internal data comparison table CT. In some embodiments, the receiving circuit 162 in the data transmission interface 16 compares the internal data comparison table after receiving the pen input data Di. The CT and the input data Di are used to determine whether the received input data Di is correct, and generate a error signal SE when a data error occurs. In the foregoing, if the input data Di is determined to be correct, the transmitting circuit 166 generates a correct output data Do according to the internal data comparison table CT, and sends the correct output data Do to the signal receiver 14. The signal receiver 14 compares the internal data comparison table CT with the correct output data Do to measure the ability of the data transmission interface 16 to resist the jitter signal.

若是輸入資料Di判斷為不正確,則發射電路166會從同步電路164接收到誤碼指示訊號SI,並根據誤碼指示訊號SI的通知,係將錯誤回報資料FD載入輸出資料Do中,使其成為一錯誤的輸出資料Do,進而將錯誤的輸出資料Do傳送至訊號接收器14。如此,訊號接收器14依據錯誤的輸出資料Do量測出資料傳輸介面16不具有抵抗該抖動訊號的能力,也稱作資料傳輸介面16的最低抖動容限。 If the input data Di is determined to be incorrect, the transmitting circuit 166 receives the error indication signal SI from the synchronization circuit 164, and loads the error report data FD into the output data Do according to the notification of the error indication signal SI. It becomes an erroneous output data Do, which in turn transmits the erroneous output data Do to the signal receiver 14. Thus, the signal receiver 14 detects that the data transmission interface 16 does not have the ability to resist the jitter signal based on the erroneous output data Do, which is also referred to as the minimum jitter tolerance of the data transmission interface 16.

舉例來說,訊號產生器12、訊號接收器14、接收電路162以及發射電路166內的資料對照表CT至少包括一組資料數據D1至D9,其中資料數據D1至D9分別為11、22、33、44…99。訊號產生器12根據內部資料對照表CT中的資料數據D1至D9以產生一筆包含資料Di1至Di9並載有抖動訊號的輸入資料Di,其中資料Di1至Di9分別為11、22、33、44…99。接收電路162從訊號產生器12接收該筆輸入資料Di並加以運算處理,以產生一筆回復資料Dr1至Dr9。接著,接收電路162比對運算該筆回復資料Dr1至Dr9 與資料對照表CT的資料數據D1至D9,以判斷該筆回復資料Dr1至Dr9是否完全吻合資料對照表CT的資料數據D1至D9。 For example, the signal generator 12, the signal receiver 14, the receiving circuit 162, and the data comparison table CT in the transmitting circuit 166 include at least one set of data D1 to D9, wherein the data D1 to D9 are 11, 22, 33, respectively. 44...99. The signal generator 12 generates an input data Di containing the data Di1 to Di9 and carrying the jitter signal according to the data data D1 to D9 in the internal data comparison table CT, wherein the data Di1 to Di9 are 11, 22, 33, 44, respectively... 99. The receiving circuit 162 receives the pen input data Di from the signal generator 12 and performs arithmetic processing to generate a piece of reply data Dr1 to Dr9. Then, the receiving circuit 162 compares and operates the pen reply data Dr1 to Dr9. The data data D1 to D9 of the data comparison table CT are compared to determine whether the reply data Dr1 to Dr9 completely match the data data D1 to D9 of the data comparison table CT.

經比對,若是該筆回復資料Dr1至Dr9完全吻合資料對照表CT的資料數據D1至D9,則發射電路166將根據內部的資料對照表CT對應產生一筆完全吻合資料對照表CT中資料數據D1至D9的輸出資料Do,並將該筆輸出資料Do送給訊號接收器14。訊號接收器14比對內部的資料對照表CT與該筆輸出資料Do,進而量測出資料傳輸介面16具有抵抗該抖動訊號的能力。 After comparison, if the reply data Dr1 to Dr9 completely match the data D1 to D9 of the data comparison table CT, the transmitting circuit 166 will generate a complete matching data in the CT according to the internal data comparison table CT. The output data Do to D9 is sent to the signal receiver 14. The signal receiver 14 compares the internal data comparison table CT with the pen output data Do to measure the ability of the data transmission interface 16 to resist the jitter signal.

另外,經比對,若是該筆回復資料Dr1至Dr9中的回復值Dr4為”45”,因而不吻合資料對照表CT中資料數據D4的值”44”,此時,接收電路162會產生誤碼訊號SE1,並將誤碼訊號SE1傳送至同步電路164。在一些實施例中,誤碼訊號SE1中包含回復資料Dr1至Dr9中的回復值Dr4為錯誤資料的訊息。 In addition, if the response value Dr4 in the response data Dr1 to Dr9 is "45", the value "44" of the data D4 in the data comparison table CT is not matched, and the receiving circuit 162 may generate an error. The code signal SE1 transmits the error signal SE1 to the synchronization circuit 164. In some embodiments, the error signal SE1 includes a message that the reply value Dr4 in the reply data Dr1 to Dr9 is an error material.

前述資料對照表CT中的資料數據D1-D9可以為一筆偽隨機測試碼(pseudo-random binary sequence Pattern;PRBS Pattern),此時,接收電路162可以根據資料對照表CT而重覆的產生並輸出該筆偽隨機測試碼。另外,偽隨機測試碼並非唯一選項,舉凡可以作為高速串流測試碼的碼型都可以作為資料對照表CT中的資料數據D1-D9,例如,K28.5、1010、CJPAT等碼型。 The data data D1-D9 in the foregoing data comparison table CT may be a pseudo-random binary sequence pattern (PRBS Pattern). At this time, the receiving circuit 162 may repeatedly generate and output according to the data comparison table CT. The pseudo-random test code. In addition, the pseudo-random test code is not the only option. Any code that can be used as the high-speed stream test code can be used as the data data D1-D9 in the data comparison table CT, for example, K28.5, 1010, CJPAT, and the like.

同步電路164依據第一時脈訊號CLK1接收誤 碼訊號SE1,得知回復資料Dr1至Dr9中的回復值Dr4發生資料錯誤。接著,同步電路164根據第二時脈訊號CLK2輸出誤碼指示訊號SI1至發射電路166,以通知發射電路166在接收電路162這端已經發生資料錯誤。值得一提的是,由於同步電路164的電路特性可能導致誤碼訊號SE1與誤碼指示訊號SI1之間存有時間上的延遲。因此,考慮前述時間上的延遲,發射電路166在得知回復值Dr4發生資料錯誤後,係根據內部資料對照表CT將錯誤回報資料FD載入輸出資料Do的資料Do4至Do9其中之一,使其成為錯誤的輸出資料Do。發射電路166能即時將錯誤回報資料FD載入輸出資料Do的資料Do4中為最佳情況,唯考量操作上的延遲因素,發射電路166將錯誤回報資料FD載入輸出資料Do的資料Do5至資料Do9其中之一,同樣可以提供訊號接收器14量測出資料傳輸介面16的最低抖動容限與抗抖動能力。 The synchronization circuit 164 receives the error according to the first clock signal CLK1. The code signal SE1 is informed that a data error has occurred in the reply value Dr4 in the reply data Dr1 to Dr9. Then, the synchronization circuit 164 outputs the error indication signal SI1 to the transmitting circuit 166 according to the second clock signal CLK2 to notify the transmitting circuit 166 that a data error has occurred at the receiving circuit 162. It is worth mentioning that due to the circuit characteristics of the synchronization circuit 164, there may be a time delay between the error signal SE1 and the error indication signal SI1. Therefore, considering the delay in the foregoing time, the transmitting circuit 166, after knowing that the data of the reply value Dr4 has occurred, loads the error report data FD into one of the data Do4 to Do9 of the output data Do according to the internal data comparison table CT. It becomes the wrong output data Do. The transmitting circuit 166 can immediately load the error report data FD into the data Do4 of the output data Do for the best case, and only considers the delay factor in the operation, the transmitting circuit 166 loads the error report data FD into the data Do5 of the output data Do to the data. One of the Do9s can also provide the signal receiver 14 to measure the minimum jitter tolerance and anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface 16.

前述中,載有錯誤回報資料FD的資料Do4至Do9其中之一係與資料對照表CT中對應的D4至D9其中之一具有顯著的不同。例如,載有錯誤回報資料FD的資料Do4為”88”,係與資料數據D4的”44”具有顯著的不同,或是,載有錯誤回報資料FD的資料Do5為”99”,係與資料數據D5的”55”具有顯著的不同。 In the foregoing, one of the data Do4 to Do9 carrying the error report data FD is significantly different from one of the corresponding D4 to D9 in the data comparison table CT. For example, the data Do4 containing the error report data FD is "88", which is significantly different from the "44" of the data D4, or the data Do5 containing the error report data FD is "99", and the data The "55" of the data D5 has a significant difference.

如此,發射電路166依據誤碼指示訊號SI1,以將錯誤回報資料FD載入輸出資料Do中的資料Do5,使得資料Do5顯著不同於資料對照表CT的資料數據D5,進而讓訊號接收器14能夠輕易判斷出資料錯誤的發生。舉例來說, 若在訊號產生器12、訊號接收器14、接收電路162以及發射電路166的資料對照表CT中,資料數據D4為”44”,而接收電路162產生的回復值Dr4為”45”,此時,發射電路166可以送出資料Do4為”88”的輸出資料Do或資料Do5為”99”的輸出資料Do。 Thus, the transmitting circuit 166 loads the error report data FD into the data Do5 in the output data Do according to the error indication signal SI1, so that the data Do5 is significantly different from the data data D5 of the data comparison table CT, thereby enabling the signal receiver 14 to It is easy to judge the occurrence of data errors. for example, In the data comparison table CT of the signal generator 12, the signal receiver 14, the receiving circuit 162, and the transmitting circuit 166, the data D4 is "44", and the reply value Dr4 generated by the receiving circuit 162 is "45". The transmitting circuit 166 can send the output data Do of the data Do4 of "88" or the output data Do of the data Do5 of "99".

如此一來,當訊號接收器14接收到輸出資料Do時,訊號接收器14可較為容易的判斷出輸出資料Do中的資料Do4或資料Do5發生錯誤。意即,使用者使用較低規格的訊號接收器14也能夠輕易地判斷出資料傳輸介面16的輸出資料Do是否存在資料錯誤,間接地量測出資料傳輸介面16最低抖動容限與抗抖動能力,進而降低訊號接收器14的成本。 In this way, when the signal receiver 14 receives the output data Do, the signal receiver 14 can more easily determine that the data Do4 or the data Do5 in the output data Do has an error. That is to say, the user can easily determine whether the output data Do of the data transmission interface 16 has a data error by using the lower-level signal receiver 14, and indirectly measure the minimum jitter tolerance and anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface 16. Thereby reducing the cost of the signal receiver 14.

請參閱第4圖。第4圖係根據本揭示內容之一些實施例所繪示之一種抖動容忍度圖表400的實驗數據圖。實驗數據圖的橫軸代表輸入訊號Di的抖動操作頻率(Hz),縱軸代表輸入訊號Di所載的抖動訊號強度,其單位是單位區間(unit interval),該實驗數據圖可由訊號接收器14依據輸出資料Do所產生,用以說明在不同頻率操作條件下,資料傳輸介面16的最低抖動容限與抗抖動能力。又,實驗數據圖中的標準量測線JTC-S代表在每個抖動操作頻率條件下,資料傳輸介面16基本上需達到的抗抖動能力。而實驗數據圖中的最佳量測線JTC-T代表在每個抖動操作頻率條件下,資料傳輸介面16所能達到的最低抖動容限。 Please refer to Figure 4. 4 is an experimental data plot of a jitter tolerance graph 400, depicted in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. The horizontal axis of the experimental data graph represents the jitter operating frequency (Hz) of the input signal Di, and the vertical axis represents the jitter signal strength contained in the input signal Di, the unit of which is the unit interval, and the experimental data map can be received by the signal receiver 14. According to the output data Do, it is used to explain the minimum jitter tolerance and anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface 16 under different frequency operating conditions. Moreover, the standard measurement line JTC-S in the experimental data map represents the anti-jitter capability that the data transmission interface 16 basically needs to achieve under each jitter operation frequency condition. The optimal measurement line JTC-T in the experimental data plot represents the minimum jitter tolerance that the data transmission interface 16 can achieve at each jitter operating frequency.

詳細來說,訊號產生器12在90KHz的抖動操作 頻率條件下,將強度100(mUI)的抖動訊號載入輸入資料Di中,並傳送到資料傳輸介面16中。訊號接收器14再依據上述方式接收資料傳輸介面16送出的輸出資料Do,並且判斷輸出資料Do是否正確。此時,若是正確,則實驗數據圖即呈現出資料傳輸介面16可以正確處理具有90KHz抖動操作頻率與抖動訊號強度100(mUI)的輸入資料Di。斜線部分表示資料傳輸介面16能夠正確處理輸入資料Di的範圍。意即,於輸入資料Di的抖動頻率為90KHz的情況下,資料傳輸介面16的抗抖動能力的範圍是100mUI至75UI,其中資料傳輸介面16的最低抖動容限為75UI。其餘頻率的輸入資料Di依此類推。 In detail, the signal generator 12 operates at a jitter of 90 kHz. Under the frequency condition, the jitter signal of intensity 100 (mUI) is loaded into the input data Di and transmitted to the data transmission interface 16. The signal receiver 14 receives the output data Do sent from the data transmission interface 16 according to the above manner, and determines whether the output data Do is correct. At this time, if it is correct, the experimental data map shows that the data transmission interface 16 can correctly process the input data Di having a jittering operation frequency of 90 KHz and a jitter signal strength of 100 (mUI). The shaded portion indicates the extent to which the data transfer interface 16 can properly process the input data Di. That is, in the case where the jitter frequency of the input data Di is 90 kHz, the anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface 16 ranges from 100 mUI to 75 UI, and the minimum jitter tolerance of the data transmission interface 16 is 75 UI. The input data Di of the remaining frequencies is deduced by analogy.

如此,查看實驗數據圖所呈現的實驗數據,即可以根據最佳量測線JTC-T是否優於標準量測線JTC-S來判斷資料傳輸介面16是否通過抗抖動能力的量測。 Thus, by viewing the experimental data presented in the experimental data map, it is possible to determine whether the data transmission interface 16 is measured by the anti-jitter capability based on whether the optimal measurement line JTC-T is superior to the standard measurement line JTC-S.

請配合第2圖,參閱第6圖。第6圖係根據本揭示內容之一些實施例所繪示之一種同步電路的示意圖。同步電路164為一種脈衝同步電路(Pulse Synchronizer)係可以將第一時脈訊號CLK1時域操作下的脈衝訊號(例,誤碼訊號SE)同步到第二時脈訊號CLK2時域中使用(例,誤碼指示訊號SI)。同步電路164包括前級電路1640、中級電路1642及後級電路1644,前述中,前級電路1640包括D型正 反器T1與互斥或閘XOR1,中級電路1642包括中級D型正反器T2、T3,後級電路1644包括D型正反器T4與互斥或閘XOR2。如第6圖所示,前級電路1640操作在第一時脈訊號CLK1時域以將誤碼訊號SE傳送到中級電路1642。中級電路1642操作在第二時脈訊號CLK2時域以將誤碼訊號SE轉送到後級電路1644。後級電路1644操作在第二時脈訊號CLK2時域以將誤碼訊號SE轉成誤碼指示訊號SI。 Please refer to Figure 6 for the picture in Figure 6. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a synchronization circuit in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. The synchronization circuit 164 is a pulse synchronization circuit (Pulse Synchronizer), which can synchronize the pulse signal (for example, the error signal SE) in the time domain operation of the first clock signal CLK1 to the time domain of the second clock signal CLK2 (for example). , error indication signal SI). The synchronization circuit 164 includes a pre-stage circuit 1640, a mid-level circuit 1642, and a post-stage circuit 1644.

As shown in FIG. 6, the pre-stage circuit 1640 operates in the first clock signal CLK1 time domain to transmit the error signal SE to the intermediate circuit 1642. The intermediate circuit 1642 operates in the time domain of the second clock signal CLK2 to forward the error signal SE to the subsequent stage circuit 1644. The subsequent stage circuit 1644 operates in the time domain of the second clock signal CLK2 to convert the error signal SE into the error indication signal SI.

如上所述,於本案的實施例中,本案的資料傳輸介面16、16A使用的同步電路164基於跨時域(clock domain crossing;CDC)運作,係根據第一時脈訊號CLK1接收誤碼訊號SE,並根據第二時脈訊號CLK2輸出誤碼指示訊號SI,進而作為接收電路162與發射電路166之間同步化溝通的橋梁。如此,本案的量測系統1、1A係不會受到接收電路162與發射電路166不同步操作的影響,依然能夠有效量測資料傳輸介面16、16A的抗抖動能力。 As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the synchronization circuit 164 used by the data transmission interface 16, 16A of the present invention is based on the clock domain crossing (CDC) operation, and receives the error signal SE according to the first clock signal CLK1. And outputting the error indication signal SI according to the second clock signal CLK2, thereby serving as a bridge for synchronous communication between the receiving circuit 162 and the transmitting circuit 166. Thus, the measurement system 1, 1A of the present invention is not affected by the asynchronous operation of the receiving circuit 162 and the transmitting circuit 166, and can still effectively measure the anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interfaces 16, 16A.

此外,本案資料傳輸介面16、16A使用的同步電路164,得以在接收電路162發生資料錯誤時,同步通知發射電路166,使得發射電路166可以產生與傳送載有錯誤回報資料FD的輸出資料Do至訊號接收器14,以使訊號接收器14較容易判斷出接收電路162已發生資料錯誤。相對來說,量測人員可使用精準度較低的訊號接收器14即可以輕易量測到資料傳輸介面16、16A的抗抖動能力,進而降低訊號接收器14的成本。再者,由第4圖中可得知,本案的量測系統1、1A以及資料傳輸介面16、16A,即使處於輸出 資料Di為高頻率的情況下,亦能有效量測資料傳輸介面16、16A的抗抖動能力。 In addition, the synchronization circuit 164 used by the data transmission interface 16, 16A of the present invention can synchronously notify the transmission circuit 166 when a data error occurs in the reception circuit 162, so that the transmission circuit 166 can generate and output the output data Do carrying the error report data FD to The signal receiver 14 is operative to make it easier for the signal receiver 14 to determine that a data error has occurred in the receiving circuit 162. Relatively speaking, the measurement personnel can easily measure the anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface 16, 16A by using the less accurate signal receiver 14, thereby reducing the cost of the signal receiver 14. Furthermore, as can be seen from Fig. 4, the measurement system 1, 1A and the data transmission interface 16, 16A of the present case are even at the output. When the data Di is high frequency, the anti-jitter capability of the data transmission interface 16, 16A can also be effectively measured.

由上述本案之實施方式可知,本案之實施例藉由提供一種量測系統及資料傳輸介面,且特別是有關於系統晶片的抖動容忍度的量測方法及量測系統,藉以降低量測系統的費用,在時脈不同步的情況下有效量測資料傳輸介面的抗抖動能力,以及於輸出資料為高頻時有效量測資料傳輸介面的抗抖動能力。 It can be seen from the above embodiments of the present invention that the embodiment of the present invention reduces the measurement system by providing a measurement system and a data transmission interface, and particularly a measurement method and a measurement system for the jitter tolerance of the system wafer.
