    Abstract: An input/output (I/O) circuit for an integrated circuit includes an input-output terminal, a termination circuit and an impedance compensation circuit. The termination circuit includes a node that is coupled to the input-output terminal. The termination circuit exhibits substantially constant first impedance below a first frequency of signals received at the input-output terminal. Furthermore, the termination circuit exhibits second impedance that is less than the first impedance when signals having a second frequency that is higher than the first frequency are received at the input-output terminal. The impedance compensation circuit is coupled to the input-output terminal. The impedance compensation circuit compensates for differences between the first and second impendences when the signal having the second frequency that is higher than the first frequency is received at the input-output terminal.

    Abstract: A delay-locked loop includes multiple inverters coupled together, wherein the inverters receive an input clock signal and output a first clock signal and a second clock signal. The input clock signal passes through a first set of inverters having a first number of inverters to generate the first clock signal. The input clock signal also passes through a second set of inverters having a second number of inverters one inverter greater than the first number of inverters to generate the second clock signal. The delay-locked loop also includes a polarity matching block that receives the first clock signal and the second clock signal and changes polarity of one of the first clock signal and the second clock signal.
