    摘要: Circuits and techniques for operating an integrated circuit (IC) with a level shifter circuit are disclosed. A level shifter circuit with input and output terminals is operable to shift an input signal that ranges from a ground voltage to a first positive voltage to an output signal that ranges from the ground voltage to a second positive voltage. The level shifter circuit further includes a first kicker transistor having a first source-drain terminal operable to receive a buffered version of the input signal and having a second source-drain terminal coupled to the output terminal. The first kicker transistor may receive gate signals that turn on the first kicker transistor when the input signal is at the ground voltage and may pull the output terminal to the first positive voltage as the input signal transitions from the ground voltage to the first positive voltage.

    摘要: A circuit includes first transistors and a comparator. The comparator compares a reference signal and a signal that is based on conductive states of the first transistors. A control circuit generates first control signals based on an output signal of the comparator. The conductive states of the first transistors are determined based on the first control signals. An arithmetic circuit performs an arithmetic function based on the first control signals and second control signals to generate calibration signals. Second transistors provide a termination impedance at an external terminal of the circuit that is based on the calibration signals.

    摘要: Circuits and methods provide single-ended and differential signals. Single-ended drivers are used to, e.g., reduce pin capacitance. The output cell uses an inversion circuit, such as a phase splitter, to derive the differential signals from the same output signal and provide low skew between the differential signals at the output pins. Selection circuits are used to select between single-ended and differential output.

    摘要: Techniques and circuitry are provided to handle high frequency input data. The techniques and circuitry take a high-frequency serial input data stream and covert it into parallel form for handling within the integrated circuit. The circuitry ensures the high frequency data is strobed properly by accounting for skew between the high frequency data input and clock input. In an implementation, multiple clock strobes are generated having the same frequency but different phase. A predetermined series of bits is input to the high frequency input into the circuitry for training. One of the multiple clock strobes is selected based on which one correctly determines the bits in the predetermined input data stream. This clock strobe is selected to strobe the high frequency data input for the integrated circuit. In an embodiment, the high frequency data input is an LVDS input of a programmable logic integrated circuit.
