    摘要: Reference voltage regulators and methods for integrated circuit output driver systems generate an initial supplementary current for the integrated circuit output driver system at the reference voltage for a predetermined time period in response to an output enable signal. Preferably, sufficient initial supplementary current is generated to compensate for an initial drop in the reference voltage that is generated by a reference voltage generator upon initial activation of the output driver system. Reference voltage generators according to embodiments of the invention may be included in an integrated circuit output driver system that is responsive to a reference voltage and to an output enable signal, and that varies in current drive capability in response to a current drive control signal. These embodiments of reference voltage regulators include a reference voltage generator that generates the reference voltage for the integrated circuit output driver system. A supplementary current generator generates an initial supplementary current for the integrated circuit output driver system at the reference voltage for a predetermined time period in response to the output enable signal. In some embodiments, the supplementary current generator generates a fixed initial supplementary current for the integrated circuit output driver system. In other embodiments, the supplementary current generator generates a variable initial supplementary current for the integrated circuit output driver system at the reference voltage for the predetermined time period in response to the output enable signal, and that varies in response to the current drive control signal.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory device and a &mgr;BGA package for the device use multiple pads for a reference voltage. The device includes n input receivers, n data input pads, and x reference voltage pads. Each input receiver operates synchronously with a clock signal and includes a differential amplifying unit that generates an output data signal according to a voltage difference between an input data signal and a reference voltage. The n data input pads respectively connect to the n input receivers and transfer the input data signals to the input receivers. The n input receivers are divided into x groups according to their positions, and the x reference voltage input pads respectively connect to the x groups of input receivers for commonly applying the reference voltage to the input receivers in the respective groups. Each reference voltage input pad can connect to its group of input receivers through one or multiple common lines. The package includes a first ball that receives the reference voltage. The first ball is commonly connected to the x reference voltage input pads of the device. The average and maximum distances between the reference voltage input pads and input receivers are much shorter with multiple reference voltage pads. Accordingly, the noise level of the reference voltage is smaller, thereby improving a margin in data setup and hold times of the input receivers and the operational reliability of products. Filters connected to the reference voltage pads can further reduce the noise in the reference voltage at the input receivers.

    摘要: Integrated circuit memory devices include one or more input receivers that have a reference voltage input terminal. A conductor electrically couples the reference voltage input terminals to a reference voltage, and a capacitor is connected between the conductor and a first ground voltage. Preferably, the location of the connection between the capacitor and the conductor is selected in accordance with the electrical characteristics of the input receivers. Accordingly, the capacitor may reduce fluctuations or noise in the reference voltage applied to the reference voltage input terminals of the input receivers. The fluctuations or noise in the reference voltage may cause the input characteristics and/or the set-up and hold times of the input receivers to vary with respect to one another. A reduction in fluctuations or noise in the reference voltage may result in more consistent input characteristics among the input receivers and more consistency in the set-up and hold times.

A loading control circuit is responsive to a control signal to variably couple the signal line and a signal node through the capacitor and thereby vary signal transmission time on the signal line. In embodiments of the present invention, the loading control circuit includes a series combination of a fuse and one or more switches. The one or more switches are responsive to respective control signals to variably couple the signal line to the signal node through the fuse and the capacitor. The variable loading circuits can be used to reduce skew among signals in systems where signal timing is critical. Related methods are also described.
