摘要： An integrated circuit (100) has a circuit portion (102) that can be switched to a standby mode through an enable transistor (104), which is coupled between an internal power supply line (120) and an external power supply line (130). The enable transistor (104) is controlled by control circuitry via a control line (160). The control line (160) is coupled to the gates of a first transistor (152) and a further transistor (154) of a logic gate (150). The substrate of the further transistor (154) is coupled to a backbias generator (170). Consequently, when the enable transistor (104) is switched off, the further transistor (154) is enabled and applies a substantial backbias to the gate of the enable transistor (104), thus dramatically reducing the leakage current from the circuit portion (102) through the enable transistor (104).

摘要： An integrated circuit comprises a plurality of sensing circuits (12), each for detecting whether a respective physical operating parameter is above or below a respective reference value. The integrated circuit contains a serial shift register (11) for shifting digital data signals that represent the respective reference values from a successive approximation update circuit (14) to the sensing circuits (12) and back to the successive approximation update circuit (14). Detection results of the sensing circuits (12) are shifted to the successive approximation update circuit (14) with the digital data signals. The successive approximation update circuit (14) is used to form the digital data so that the reference values form successive approximations of the physical operating parameter values during an analog to digital conversion process. In this way the successive approximation update circuit (14) is shared by a plurality of sensing circuits (12).

摘要： An electronic data processing circuit uses current mode signalling on a communication conductor, wherein a receiver supplies current to the communication conductor to try and keep a voltage on the conductor constant and measures the current that is needed to do so. A transition coding circuit is coupled between a data source circuit and the communication conductor, for driving the communication conductor in a first state in pulses in response to transitions in the logic signal and in a second state outside the pulses. The level that is used for indicating no change is selected so the current that needs to be supplied by the receiver is smaller when no change is signalled than when a change is signalled. Preferably only a nearly zero quiescent current is needed when there is no change.

摘要： As technology scales, on-chip interconnects are becoming narrower, and the height of such interconnects is not scaling linearly with the width. This leads to an increase of coupling capacitance with neighboring wires, leading to higher crosstalk. It also leads to poor performance due to poor RC response at the receiving of the wire, which may even result in failure in very noisy environments. An adaptive threshold scheme is proposed in which receiver switching thresholds are adjusted according to the detected noise in bus lines. These noise levels are dependent on both the front-end processing (transistor performance) as well as on the backend processing (metal resistance, capacitance, width and spacing). The circuit therefore automatically compensates for process variations.
