    摘要: A memory circuit includes at least one first memory cell of a first memory array for storing a first datum. The at least one first memory cell is coupled with a first word line and a first bit line. A first bit line bar is disposed substantially parallel with the first bit line. A first switch is coupled between a sense amplifier and the first bit line bar. The first switch can electrically isolate the sense amplifier from the first bit line bar if the sense amplifier is capable of sensing a first voltage difference between the first bit line. The first bit line bar and the first voltage difference is substantially equal to or larger than a predetermined value.

    摘要: A clamper circuit for receiving an input signal from a victim wire, the clamper circuit being capable of receiving aggressor signals from aggressor wires, the aggressor wires being the signal wires that can potentially induce crosstalk on the victim wire and an output signal being selectively enabled based on the logic states of the input signal and the aggressor signals, the clamper circuit also being capable of accelerating the switching of the victim wire when an opposite transition occurs on the aggressors and victim wire at the same time, so as to thereby reduce worst case delay and improve the signal integrity.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (300) has a regular grid formed by substantially identical building blocks (100a-i). To avoid possible routing conflicts around the edges of the integrated circuit (300), which can be introduced by the use of a single type of an asymmetric building block, the integrated circuit (300) is extended with routing cells (200) that provide routing at the edges of the grid that are uncovered by the routing networks of the building blocks (100a-i). The routing cells (200) and the switch cell (250) are combined with a first routing structure (330) and a second routing structure (340) to form a routing network (280) surrounding the grid of the integrated circuit (300). Consequently, an integrated circuit (300) is presented that comprises only a single type of building block (100a-i) but still has a fully symmetric routing architecture.
