    Abstract: An electrical circuit device includes a signal bus comprising a plurality of parallel signal paths and a calibration circuit, operatively coupled with the signal bus. The calibration circuit can perform operations including determining a representative duty cycle for a plurality of signals transferred via the plurality of parallel signal paths, the plurality of signals comprising a plurality of duty cycles and comparing the representative duty cycle for the plurality of signals transferred via the plurality of parallel signal paths to a reference value to determine a comparison result. The calibration circuit can perform further operations including adjusting, based on the comparison result, a trim value associated with the plurality of duty cycles of the plurality of signals to compensate for distortion in the plurality of duty cycles and calibrating the plurality of duty cycles of the plurality of signals using the adjusted trim value.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a plurality of input/output (I/O) nodes, a circuit, a latch, a memory, and control logic. The plurality of I/O nodes receive a predefined data pattern. The circuit adjusts a delay for each I/O node as the predefined data pattern is received. The latch latches the data received on each I/O node. The memory stores the latched data. The control logic compares the stored latched data to an expected data pattern and sets the delay for each I/O node based on the comparison.

    Abstract: Disclosed are level shifters and methods of performing level shifting. In one embodiment, a level shifter is disclosed comprising an input, cross-coupled/latch circuitry, a first reference node, a second reference node, and output circuitry coupled between the cross-coupled/latch circuitry and an output, wherein the output circuitry sets the output signal to high based on rising edge of a second reference node and sets the output signal to low based on the rising edge of the first reference node. Further, the first reference node and the second reference node are symmetric nodes having signals that are inverse to each other.

    Abstract: A wave pipeline includes a first stage, a plurality of second stages, and a third stage. The first stage receives a data signal representative of data and a clock signal, and may process the data at a first data rate equal to a clock rate of the clock signal. Each second stage may process respective data in response to a respective clock cycle received from the first stage at a second data rate equal to the first data rate times the number of second stages. The third stage may process data received from each second stage at the first data rate. The first stage divides the data signal and the clock signal between the plurality of second stages. The third stage merges the respective data and the respective clock cycles from each of the plurality of second stages to provide a merged data signal and a return clock signal.

    Abstract: A wave pipeline includes a plurality of data paths, a clock signal path, and a return clock signal path. Each data path includes an input node, an output node, and a data stage between the input node and the output node. Each data path has a different delay between the input node and the output node. A first data path of the plurality of data paths has a first delay and each of the other data paths of the plurality of data paths have a delay less than the first delay. The clock signal path provides a clock signal to the data stage of each data path. The return clock signal path provides a return clock signal from the data stage of the first data path. The return clock signal triggers data out of the data stage of each data path of the plurality of data paths.

    Abstract: Several embodiments of electrical circuit devices and systems with clock distortion calibration circuitry are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an electrical circuit device includes an electrical circuit die having clock distortion calibration circuitry to calibrate a clock signal. The clock distortion calibration circuitry is configured to compare a first duty cycle of a first voltage signal of the clock signal to a second duty cycle of a second voltage signal of the clock signal. Based on the comparison, the clock calibration circuitry is configured to adjust a trim value associated with at least one of the first and the second duty cycles of the first and the second voltage signals, respectively, to calibrate at least one of the first and the second duty cycles and account for duty cycle distortion encountered as the clock signal propagates through a clock tree of the electrical circuit device.

    Abstract: Examples of devices and systems including enabling circuits are described. Two voltage supplies may be used to operate different portions of the devices, including peripheral circuits and I/O circuits. When the voltage supply to the peripheral circuits of one or more devices is disabled, the I/O circuits of that device may be disabled. In some examples, power may advantageously be saved in part by eliminating or reducing a DC current path through the I/O circuits.
