METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA DETECTION AND EVENT CAPTURE

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 patterndetected 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 circuithaving 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. 个实施例涉及数据检测和事件捕获电路。数据比较器逻辑从并行数据总线接收被监测数据字并产生多个模式检测信号。任何模式检测逻辑接收该多个模式检测信号并产生多个任何模式检测信号。序列检测逻辑接收该多个模式检测信号并产生多个序列检测信号。另实施例涉及数据检测和事件捕获的方法。另实施例涉及具有接收机电路中的第数据检测和事件捕获电路和发射机电路中的第二数据检测和事件捕获电路的集成电路。还公开了其它实施例和特征。
