    Abstract: The layouts, device structures, and methods described above utilize dummy devices to extend the diffusion regions of edge structures and/or non-allowed structures to the dummy device. Such extension of diffusion regions resolves or reduces LOD and edge effect issues. In addition, treating the gate structure of a dummy device next to an edge device also allows only one dummy structure to be added next to the dummy device and saves the real estate on the semiconductor chip. The dummy devices are deactivated and their performance is not important. Therefore, utilizing dummy devices to extend the diffusion regions of edge structures and/or non-allowed structures according to design rules allows the resolution or reduction or LOD and edge effect issues without the penalty of yield reduction or increase in layout areas.

    Abstract: A circuit comprises a first PMOS transistor, a second PMOS transistor, a first NMOS transistor, a second NMOS transistor, a third NMOS transistor, and a fourth NMOS transistor. The PMOS transistors and the NMOS transistors are configured to provide a first voltage reference node having a first reference voltage and a second voltage reference node having a second reference voltage. The first reference voltage and the second reference voltage serve as a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage for a memory cell, respectively.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for implementation in a random access channel receiver. One embodiment of the method includes generating at least one frequency domain reference sequence by multiplying a generator function and a first frequency domain root CAZAC sequence. The frequency domain reference sequence(s) is generated in response to receiving a signal at the random access channel receiver. This embodiment of the method also includes correlating the received signal and the frequency domain reference sequence(s).

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a level shifter and a switching circuit. The level shifter includes an input, a first output, and second output having a logic value complementary to a logic value of the first output. The switching circuit includes a data input, a feedback input coupled to the second output of the level shifter, and an output coupled to the input of the level shifter. The switching circuit is configured to selectively latch, based on a select signal, a logic state of the level shifter at the second output.
