    摘要: Integrated circuits with on-chip impedance matching techniques, which greatly reduce the number of off-chip resistors that are coupled to the integrated circuit, are provided. On-chip impedance matching circuits of the present invention are associated with each of a plurality of I/O pins on an integrated circuit. Circuitry of the present invention may include a resistor divider that has a resistor and an on-chip transistor. The resistance of the on-chip transistor and a voltage output signal of the resistor divider vary with process, temperature, and voltage of the integrated circuit. The effective channel W/L ratio of the impedance matching circuit changes in response to the voltage output signal of the resistor divider, so that changes in the impedance of the impedance matching circuit caused by the variations in process, temperature, and voltage are minimized.

    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: 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.
