    摘要: A high performance high input voltage input buffer manufacture using a low voltage process contains an input buffer circuit (136) and a level shifter (132). The input buffer (136) will receive an input signal via a chip pad (112). The input signal from trip pad (112) will be provided to an inverter stack (135) that contains or is coupled to protection transistors (116, 114, 110, and 111). The protection transistors are biased by a reference generator (134) which outputs a voltage that is a function of the maximal voltage that can be provided on the chip pad (112). By using the circuit (134), the trigger point of the inverter stack (135) can be dynamically adjusted for any OVDD (110) value whereby input buffer performance is improved and made more flexible.

    摘要: An output buffer (200) having a protection circuit (228, 230, 232) which adjusts control of an output drive circuit (224,226) in response to external voltages on the output pin (202). When the output pin is in a tri-state condition and receives an external voltage which is outside a predetermined voltage range, the protection circuit adjusts the voltage on the control gate of a transistor (224) in the output drive circuit. The protection circuit maintains the voltage across the transistor within the tolerance of the transistor. In one embodiment, the output drive circuit has pullup (204) and pulldown (206) portions. The output buffer provides a high voltage output driver having low voltage devices.

    摘要: A system (50) has a shifting delay circuit (60) which provides a variable delay for delaying a source clock and a delay locked loop (DLL) (70) which includes a delay line (72) which provides a variable delay for delaying the source clock. The delay line (18) has its delay varied by a counter (74). The counter (74) is incremented in order to change the delay. The shifting delay circuit (60) is based on half periods of a reference clock (GCLK) which has a known relationship to the source clock. The total delay for the source clock is a combination of that provided by shifting delay circuit (60) and delay line (72). The delay line (72), which requires relatively large amounts of die area in an integrated circuit can be smaller in size due to the usage of shifting delay circuit (60).
