摘要:
An apparatus comprising a plurality of serially coupled delay cells configured to generate an output signal having a frequency varied in response to a control signal. Each of the delay cells may be configured to generate one or more intermediate signals in response to the control signal and present the intermediate signals to a next of the delay cells. One or more next to the last of the intermediate signals may be fed back to a first of the delay cells. One or more last of the intermediate signals may be presented as the output signal.
摘要:
An integrated circuit having input output buffers, where the integrated circuit is powered by at least a core power supply and an input output power supply. A level shifter receives an active low signal that indicates that the core power supply has powered down. The level shifter then outputs a known state upon receipt of the active low signal. A control circuit receives the known state form the level shifter, and then tristates the input output buffers upon receipt of the known state.

An integrated circuit oscillator input cell has an oscillator input pad, an oscillator feedback pad, a core terminal, an inverter and an electrostatic discharge protection circuit. The inverter has an inverter input, which is coupled to the oscillator input pad, and an inverter output, which is coupled to the oscillator feedback pad and the core terminal. The electrostatic discharge protection circuit includes a plurality of N-channel protection transistors, which are coupled to the oscillator input pad. The N-channel protection transistors are the only protection transistors that are coupled to the oscillator input pad.

A phase-locked loop within an integrated circuit assembly is provided. The phase-locked loop includes a plurality of subcells of semiconductor devices arranged in a base layer pattern on base layers of the integrated circuit assembly. One or more metal layers are formed over and interconnect the plurality of semiconductor devices in a metallization pattern. The phase-locked loop has an output frequency range that is changeable with a change to the metallization pattern without a corresponding change to the base layer pattern.

An integrated circuit output buffer includes a core terminal, a pad terminal, a pad pull-up transistor, a pad pull-down transistor, a pull-up voltage protection transistor, and a selectively conductive pad voltage feedback path. The pad pull-up transistor and the pad pull-down transistor are coupled to the pad terminal and are biased to respectively charge and discharge the pad terminal in response to a data signal received on the core terminal. The pull-up voltage protection transistor is coupled in series between the pad pull-up transistor and the pad terminal and has a control terminal and a well terminal. The selectively conductive pad voltage feedback path is coupled between the pad terminal and the well terminal of the pull-up voltage protection transistor.
