    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an N-path filter implemented using a generalized impedance converter (GIC) circuit. The GIC circuit is configured such that the N-path filter has a desired frequency response, which may include a wide passband with steeper rejection than a conventional N-path filter with only a single pole in each filter path. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an N-path filter having a frequency response with multiple concurrent passbands. In certain aspects, the N-path filter with multiple passbands is implemented using the GIC circuit. In other aspects, the N-path filter may include a bandpass response circuit where an inductance of the bandpass response circuit may be implemented using gyrators.

    摘要: Nanoscale efuses, antifuses, and planar coil inductors are disclosed. A copper damascene process can be used to make all of these circuit elements. A low-temperature copper etch process can be used to make the efuses and efuse-like inductors. The circuit elements can be designed and constructed in a modular fashion by linking a matrix of metal columns in different configurations and sizes. The number of metal columns, or the size of a dielectric mesh included in the circuit element, determines its electrical characteristics. Alternatively, the efuses and inductors can be formed from interstitial metal that is either deposited into a matrix of dielectric columns, or left behind after etching columnar openings in a block of metal. Arrays of metal columns also serve a second function as features that can improve polish uniformity in place of conventional dummy structures. Use of such modular arrays provides flexibility to integrated circuit designers.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit comprises a logic circuit unit, a signal control unit, a first signal selecting unit to a third signal selecting unit, and a first element electrode to a fourth element electrode. A part of signal lines of the logic circuit unit is connectable to different element electrodes, in accordance with the operating state of the logic circuit unit. The signal control unit generates connection information related to the connection of the signal lines to the element electrodes, thereafter sending the connection information to an external LSI. The connection is made after a retaining period, during which the element electrode concerned is maintained at high impedance, thereby avoiding unexpected failure. According to the present structure, the number of element electrodes required by the semiconductor integrated circuit can be reduced.
