    摘要: A body-biased enhanced current mirror circuit is disclosed wherein the body voltage of a current mirror device is adjusted to compensate for the effect of changes in the output voltage on the output current, increasing the output impedance. For each instance of the current mirror, this approach has the advantage of requiring no additional margin in operating voltage and of consuming no more circuit area than prior art current mirror designs. In addition, the body-biased enhanced current mirror circuit provides a stable reference current to output current ratio over a wide operating range. An auxiliary MOSFET current mirror device with the body connected to ground may be added in parallel with the body-biased current mirror device to eliminate a non-monotonicity of the current output.

    摘要: A high speed serial data communication system includes provisions for the correction of equalization errors, particularly those errors introduced by equalizer non-idealities. The equalization is achieved at the data transmitter, and is based on dynamic current subtraction at the output of a differential pair. When bit time>0, the error current is removed or subtracted from the total driver current, thereby maintaining a constant total current from bit time 0 to bit time>0. The same result can also be achieved by subtracting current when bit time>0 using field effect transistors of the opposite gender. The error current can be determined empirically from simulation or through feedback using a replica of the driver. The circuits for achieving equalization error correction and the resulting electrical network analysis are shown and described.

    摘要: A circuit device having a transistor-based switch topology that substantially eliminates the possibility of latchup of the device. A series-connected low voltage threshold (LVT) N-channel transistor and a pull-up resistor are coupled across a switching (P-channel) transistor so that an integral body connection is provided for the switching transistor, which connects the body of the switching transistor to a node between the pull-up resistor and source terminal of the LVT transistor. The LVT transistor is connected with its gate and drain terminal connected to the output terminal of the switching transistor. The resistor is connected at its other end to the power supply side terminal of the switching transistor. The addition of these components in the particular configuration allows the body connection of the switching transistor to be automatically switched to the highest potential diffusion node.
