摘要:
Circuitry for introducing a delay to a signal comprising input means for receiving the signal to be delayed; a first delay path; a second delay path; selection means for causing the signal passing through a selected one of the delay paths to be output from said circuitry; comparing means for comparing the phase difference between the signal output by said circuitry and the input to said selected delay path to provide a first comparison signal and for comparing the phase delay of said first delay path with that of said second delay path to provide a second comparison signal, wherein said first and second comparison signals are used by the selection means to determine which of said delay paths is selected.
摘要:
A dual port memory cell has a latch portion for holding data, first and second write transistors and first and second read transistors. The read transistors each have a control gate connected to the latch portion of the cell and a read enable terminal, wherein the read enable terminals are connected at a common read enable node to which the enabling signal is applied. This differs from existing cells in that the drive from the latch portion is through the gate of the read transistors rather than via the source/drain channels. Thus a larger size for the read transistors can be used without affecting cell stability.
