    摘要: An ESD protection system providing extra headroom at an integrated circuit (IC) terminal pad. The system includes an ESD protection circuit having one or more first diodes coupled in series between the supply voltage and terminal pad, and a second diode coupled to ground. One or more third diodes are coupled in series between the terminal pad and second diode, and are configured to permit a voltage on the interconnection nodes between the one or more third diodes and second diode different from ground. The one or more third diodes include an n+ on an area of P-substrate. A deep N-well separates the area of P-substrate from a common area of P-substrate, which is coupled to ground. The allowable signal swing at the terminal pad is increased to greater than supply voltage plus 1.4 V. The ESD protection circuit is useful for, among other things, relatively low supply voltage ICs.

    摘要: A receiver multi-protocol interface includes a wide bandwidth amplifier, a data sampling module, and a clocking module. The wide bandwidth amplifier amplifies a first formatted input signal or a second formatted input signal to produce an amplified input signal. The data sampling module converts the amplified input signal into a first data stream in accordance with at least one first sampling clock signal when the interface is configured in the first mode and to converts the amplified input signal into a second data stream in accordance with at least a second sampling clock signal when the interface is in a second mode. The clocking module generates the first sampling clock signals from a reference clock when the multi-protocol interface is in a first operational mode and generates the second sampling clock signals based on the reference clock when the interface is in the second operational mode.

    摘要: A squeezable tail current source for use in a differential operational amplifier is disclosed that regulates the current through a main input differential pair while preventing output distortion and allowing high linearity. The squeezable tail current source includes a first transistor pair that replicates a main input transistor pair, wherein both the first transistor pair and the main input transistor pair receive a common voltage input at their respective gates. The squeezable tail current source also includes a second transistor pair, a bias transistor, a first current source, a folding transistor, and a second current source that biases the folding transistor. These components are configured such that current through the main input transistor pair is maintained as the voltage input varies. In addition, the second current source and the folding transistor isolate the bias transistor and the second transistor pair from a drain voltage of the first transistor pair, thereby causing the first transistor pair and the main input transistor pair to have a common drain bias, which prevents output distortion and allows high linearity to be achieved.
