摘要:
A digital logic circuit and method for de-glitching an input signal. The circuit removes distortion that occurs during a “de-glitching” time period that follows each transition of the input signal from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0. The circuit can remove such distortion from the input signal without substantially delaying the input signal. Specifically, the delay interposed can be much less than the duration of the de-glitching time period. One embodiment includes first and second Set-Reset flip-flops each having an input connected to receive the input signal and having an output connected to a majority circuit. A delay circuit also receives the input signal and provides an output to the majority circuit. Other embodiments replace the majority circuit with a circuit including logic gates.

Timing measurement is performed by a digital oscillator, using a calibration value which is calculated after chip fabrication is completed, and automatically loaded into selection logic at powerup.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for coupling high voltages for a semiconductor device via high voltage switches are disclosed. A high voltage switch includes a switch and a level shifter. The switch is defined between a voltage source and a voltage output. An enable line is coupled to a first transistor of the switch. The level shifter includes an input and an output. A characterization line is coupled to the input of the level shifter and the output of the level shifter is coupled to a second transistor of the switch. The level shifter further includes a power rail that is coupled to the switch between the first transistor and the second transistor.
