    摘要: The invention relates to an output driver for integrated circuits comprising

    at least one driver circuit for driving an external circuit (20), the driver circuit having
    at least one data input (DATAIN) connectable to the integrated circuit;
    at least one data output (DQ) connectable to a transmission line (18) leading to the external circuit (20) ; and
    impedance adjusting means (24) for adjusting the output impedance of the driver circuit according to determinable impedance adjusting data (30-p, 30-n);
    at least one dummy circuit (32) comprising a dummy driver circuit (34) and a dummy transmission line (40), the dummy driver circuit (34) and the dummy transmission line (40) being electrical replica of the driver circuit and of the transmission line (18), respectively; and
    at least one impedance control circuit (22) for controlling the output impedance of the driver circuit, the impedance control circuit being connected to the dummy circuit (32) and the impedance adjusting means (24);
    wherein the impedance control circuit (22) is adapted to control the impedance of the driver circuit by determining the impedance adjusting data (30-p, 30-n) necessary for matching the output impedance of the dummy driver circuit (34) to the characteristic impedance of the dummy transmission line (40) and outputting the determined impedance adjusting data (30-p, 30-n) to the impedance adjusting means (24) of the driver circuit (32).

    摘要: In the present invention, an edge-triggered D-Flip-Flop circuit with a master/slave configuration is disclosed. The master circuit (MA) comprises only one master switch (T1) controlled by a clock signal ( C ¯ ) and followed by a first inverter (I1). The slave circuit (SL) comprises a slave switch (T2) followed by a second inverter (I2) and a regenerative feedback-loop (I3, T3). Master and slave switches (T1, T2) can easily be realised using pass-transistors thus achieving small chip area. The Flip-Flop can easily be amended by set and reset means (T4, T5) and is preferably suitable for mass applications like memory and microprocessor chips.
