摘要:
57 A communications interface for transferring data from a first binary logic circuit (11) to a second binary logic circuit (12) by using a trinary logic transmission channel. The first set of binary logic signals is converted into a first set of binary control signals which, in turn, control trinary drivers (18) connected to the transmission channel. The trinary drivers drive the transmission channel to one of three discrete voltage levels as opposed to one of two levels in binary systems. Trinary receivers (21) are located on the second binary logic circuit and are connected to the trinary transmission channel. The receivers produce a second set of binary control signals which are translated into a second set of binary logic signals for use by the second binary logic circuit.

An integrated circuit device (10 in Fig. 2; 105 in Fig. 5) containing internal logic and/or memory circuitry (19; 114, 115) is provided with means to receive multiple inputs at the voltage levels of different logic families (Pi-Pi) and with means to provide multiple outputs at the voltage levels of different logic families (Pj-Pn). On-chip input translators (15, 17; 106, 108, 110, 112) receive the inputs at the level of a given logic family and translate to the level required by the internal logic and/or memory circuitry. After performance of logic and/or memory functions, on-chip output translators (16, 18; 107, 109, 111, 113) translate the otput of the internal logic and/or memory circuitry and provide external outputs at the voltage levels of different logic families. The internal logic and/or memory circuitry may be of a single logic family or may be composed of several logic families. On-chip translators may also be added between internal logic and/or memory circuitry of different families (116, 117).

A bipolar signal translator contains a pair of transistors (Q1 and 02) arranged as a current mirror with their emitters coupled to a voltage supply (VEE) by way of a pair of impedance elements (R4 and R5) that improve stability. Their collectors are coupled through another pair of impedance elements (R1 and R2) to an input transistor (Q4 and Q5) and to a device circuit (D1 and D2, D3 and D4, or Q4). The collector of one of the current-mirror transistors (02) is coupled to the base of an ouput transistor (03) whoe collector is preferably coupled through an output impedance element (R3) to a current-control transistor (Q6) that improves power utilization.
摘要:
A logic level translator having high switching speeds for converting ECL logic levels into TTL logic levels includes a pair of input transistors for receiving ECL input logic level signals and an output transistor for generating TTL output logic level signals. Current mirror transistors are interconnected between the input transistors and the output transistor for turning on and off the output transistor. High-pass networks are coupled to the current mirror transistors for increasing its transient response so as to facilitate turning on and off quickly the output transistor. The TTL output logic levels have a relatively small propagation delay responsive to transitions of the ECL input logic level signals.

A voltage level converting circuit includes first and second potential terminals (P1, P2) between which a power source voltage is applied, first and second terminals (IN1, IN2) for receiving an input signal and an inverted input signal, a differential amplifier (T1, T2, IS) including npn transistors (T1, T2) whose conduction states are controlled by the input signal and the inverted input signal, and an output circuit for generating an output logic signal corresponding to the output voltage of the differential amplifier (T1, T2, IS). The output circuit of this voltage level converting circuit has a current path connected in series between the first and second potential terminals (P1, P2) by way of a constant current source (M3), and includes a MOS transistor (M2) whose conduction state is controlled by the ouptut voltage of the differential amplifier (T1, T2, IS).
摘要:
In an integrated logic circuit having an inverter transistor with a signal input connected to its control electrode and one or more signal outputs each coupled via a diode to one of its main electrodes an interface or translation transistor is added. Preferably an ISL clamped NPN transistor and a PNP interface transistor are merged together in a single semiconductive isolated island. The two transistors are laterally separated from each other along a semiconductive surface of the island, which also includes one or more metallic elements forming individual Schottky barrier contact diodes with the semiconductive surface. The PNP transistor provides translation between an ISL logic gate and a TTL logic gate. One of the Schottky diodes may be used in combination with the NPN transistor as an active pull down for an output transistor of the TTL logic gate.
