    摘要: Circuits, architectures, a system and methods for protecting against overvoltages in a high-speed differential signal or circuit. The circuit generally includes (a) a differential signal transmission line, (b) a common mode circuit coupled to and configured to reduce a swing of the differential signal transmission line, and (c) an overvoltage protection circuit coupled to the common mode circuit, wherein the common mode circuit is electrically interposed between the overvoltage protection circuit and the differential signal transmission line. The architectures and/or systems generally include an integrated circuit that embodies one or more of the inventive concepts disclosed herein. The method generally includes shunting the overvoltage to a ground potential through the termination circuit when the differential circuit receives the overvoltage, but otherwise processing the differential signal through circuitry coupled to the differential circuit. The present invention advantageously provides a satisfactory level of overvoltage protection for nearly all applications in which conventional CMOS circuitry can be used, while at the same time, having very little, if any, adverse effect on differential data signal transmission speed.

    摘要: Circuits, architectures, systems and methods for facilitating data communications and/or reducing latency in data communications. The architecture includes a clock recovery loop receiving data from a host device and providing a recovered clock signal, a filter circuit receiving recovered clock signal information and providing a control signal that adjusts the transmitter clock in response to recovered clock signal information and the two clock signals, and a transmitter receiving the control signal and transmitting data to a destination device in accordance with the transmitter clock. The circuitry generally includes a clock alignment block receiving first and second periodic signals and providing a control signal in response thereto, a filter for first periodic signal information, and a logic circuit configured to combine the control signal and the filtered information, thereby providing an adjustment signal for the second periodic signal. The systems generally relate to those that include the present architecture and/or circuit. The method generally includes determining a phase difference between first and second periodic signals, one of the periodic signals being recovered from a data stream; adjusting the other periodic signal in response to the phase difference and filtered information from the recovered periodic signal; and transmitting the data stream in accordance with said adjusted periodic signal. The present invention advantageously eliminates a FIFO memory in the data path, thereby reducing transceiver latency and improving system performance.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a high throughput electrorotation chip having an array of electrorotation units and methods of use thereof. To make the high throughput electrorotation chip, a plurality of electrorotation units (EU) are fabricated on a substrate or support and each EU is capable of producing a rotating electric field upon the application of an appropriate electrical signal. Exemplary embodiments include a row-column configuration of EUs having four electrode elements realized through two conductive-layers. The electrode elements may be linear, concave, or convex. Thin plates having one or multiple holes are bound to high-throughput electrorotation chips to form assay chambers having one or multiple wells. Particles can be introduced to the wells and electrorotation measurements can be performed on the particles. The high throughput electrorotation chip and chamber may be used for cell-based screening for leading drug candidate molecules from a compound library, for high-throughput characterizing particle electric properties, and for high-throughput assaying molecular compositions of unknown solutions.
