US 2017/0371818 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA DETECTION AND EVENT CAPTURE

Abstract

One embodiment relates to a data detection and event capture circuit. Data comparator logic receives a monitored data word from a parallel data bus and generates a plurality of pattern detected signals. Any pattern detection logic receives the plurality of pattern detected signals and generates a plurality of any pattern detected signals. Sequence detection logic receives the plurality of pattern detected signals and generates a plurality of sequence detected signals. Another embodiment relates to a method of data detection and event capture. Another embodiment relates to an integrated circuit having a first data detection and event capture circuit in a receiver circuit and a second data detection and event capture circuit in a transmitter circuit. Other embodiments and features are also disclosed.

A data detection and event capture circuit comprising:

data comparator logic that receives a monitored data word from a parallel data bus, and generates a plurality of pattern detected signals;
any pattern detection logic that receives the plurality of pattern detected signals from the data comparator logic and generates a plurality of any pattern detected signals, wherein each any pattern detected signal indicates whether any pattern of a corresponding set of patterns is detected;
and
sequence detection logic that receives the plurality of pattern detected signals from the data comparator logic and generates a plurality of sequence detected signals, wherein each sequence detected signal indicates whether any pattern sequence of a corresponding set of pattern sequences is detected.
