    摘要: The circuits and methods are provided for impedance termination on an integrated circuit. A network of resistors are formed on an integrated circuit (IC) to provide on-chip impedance termination to differential input/output (IO) pins. Transistors are coupled in the network of termination resistors. The transistors provide additional termination impedance to the differential IO pins. The transistors can be turned ON or OFF separately to change the impedance termination.

    摘要: Input buffer circuitry for handling high-speed differential input signals on an integrated circuit is provided. The input buffer circuitry may use two parallel differential input buffers with overlapping input-voltage ranges. Logic on the integrated circuit may be powered at a core-logic power supply voltage. Input-output circuitry on the integrated circuit may be powered at an input-output voltage level. To improve the performance of the input buffers in the overlap range, at least one the input buffers can be powered using a total power supply voltage drop that exceeds the core-logic power supply level. One of the input buffers may be configured to handle lower-voltage input signals. This input buffer may be powered using the input-output power supply level.

    摘要: A programmable I/O element for an I/O terminal of a logic array is suitable for operating according to high speed I/O modes such as double data rate and zero bus turnaround. The I/O element may include an input block with two registers for registering input signals from the terminal upon alternate clock edges. In addition or alternatively, it may include an output block with two registers that separately register output signals from the array on the same clock edge and a multiplexer that alternately outputs those signals. For bidirectional terminals, the multiplexer output is connectable to the I/O terminal via an output buffer, and an output enable block provides an enable signal to a gating input of the output buffer. Programmable delays may be included in the input, output, and output enable paths, in particular to provide a slower turn-on time than turn-off time for the output buffer.

    摘要: A Schmitt trigger circuit has an adjustable hysteresis characteristic by providing a plurality of feedback circuits that differently affect at least one, and preferably both, of the circuit's upper trip point level and lower trip point level. The upper trip point level can be adjusted by selecting a desired feedback circuit from a first set of feedback circuits, and/or the lower trip point level can be adjusted by selecting a desired feedback circuit from a second set of feedback circuits. Feedback circuit selection is achieved by one or more control signals that may be programmable. The hysteresis characteristic can be adjusted to meet desired noise margin, delay, and input recognition criteria at different VCC levels. The Schmitt trigger circuit may be a CMOS Schmitt trigger with two input stage NMOS, two input stage PMOS transistors, a first set of NMOS feedback circuits, and a second set of PMOS feedback circuits.

    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.
