Abstract:
A transmitting device has a transmission data generating part and an output buffer part. The transmission data generating part transmits a data and a clock, which are to be transmitted to a receiving device, and outputs them to the output buffer part. The output buffer part includes a data transmitting part and a clock transmitting part. The clock transmitting part generates and transmits a clock intermittently phase-shifted. The data transmitting part transmits the data in sync with the clock transmitted from the clock transmitting part.
Abstract:
A transmitter 1 comprises a clock generation portion 4, FIFO portion 6, and serial signal creation portion 7. The clock generation portion 4 performs modulation by spectrum spreading of a reference clock CKref, and generates a first clock CK1 with a high modulation factor and a second clock CK2 with a low modulation factor. The FIFO portion 6 takes as inputs the first clock CK1 which has been output from the clock generation portion 4 to a data generation portion 2 and output from the data generation portion 2, a parallel data signal which has been synchronized with the first clock CK1 in the data generation portion 2 and output, and the second clock CK2 output from the clock generation portion 4, and synchronizes the parallel data signal Pdata with the second clock CK2 and outputs the parallel data signal Pdata. The serial signal creation portion 7 converts a parallel data signal PRdata into a serial data signal Sdata.
Abstract:
Provided are a transmission device, a receiving device, and a communication system having a simple configuration and capable of reliably executing the confirmation of a changed bit rate. The communication system 1 sends, to the receiving device 3, a serial data signal Sdata that is set as a constant value across a period of a constant multiple of a cycle of the clock when a bit rate of a serial data signal Sdata in the transmission device 2 is changed. The receiving device 3 that received the serial data signal Sdata receives training data Tdata from the transmission device 2 when it is determined that the serial data signal Sdata is a constant value across a period of a constant multiple of a cycle of the clock, and proceeds to the processing of confirming the changed bit rate.
Abstract:
A dynamic semiconductor memory device includes memory cells each having a one-transistor/one-capacitor. The memory cells are arranged at their respective intersections of bit lines and word lines. Bit-line precharge circuits are provided at bit line pairs, respectively, to precharge and equalize the bit line pairs. An output potential of a plate potential generator is applied to the power supply terminals of the bit-line precharge circuits. The memory cells have a plurality of capacitors. A plate electrode of the capacitors are connected in common. An insulation film is formed on the plate electrode and a wiring layer is formed on the insulation film. The wiring layer is electrically connected to the plate electrode through a via hole formed in the insulation film and connected in common to the power supply terminals of the bit-line precharge circuits through a contact hole formed in the insulation film, thereby transmitting a potential in proportion to variations in plate potential.

Abstract:
At least one dummy storage node is formed for a plurality of storage nodes provided in stack type memory cells in which a plate electrode is grounded through the at least one dummy storage node, thereby charges flowed into the plate electrode being discharged, when dry etching is performed by using charged particles, thus preventing electrical stress from acting on a capacitor dielectric film provided between the storage nodes and the plate electrode.

Reception devices 201 to 20N are arranged one-dimensionally in this order. The reception device 20n has a data input buffer 21, a first clock input buffer 221, and a first clock output buffer 231. The first clock input buffer 221 buffers a clock input to the first clock terminals P21 and P22, and outputs it to the first clock output buffer 231. The first clock output buffer 231 buffers a clock input from the first clock input buffer 221 and outputs it from the second clock terminals P31 and P32. The data input terminals P11 and P12 are located between the first clock terminal and the second clock terminal.

Abstract:
A first capacitor is charged by a constant current source circuit for a time corresponding to the delay time of forward pulses. A second capacitor is charged by a constant current source circuit. A comparator compares the voltages of the first and second capacitors, and outputs a timing signal when these voltages match. For this reason, a timing at which the second capacitor has been charged for a time corresponding to the delay time of backward pulses can be obtained.
