    摘要: High performance clock-powered logic runs at below supply levels and reduces the need for faster digital logic circuitry. In a preferred embodiment, a clocked buffer is used to drive the signal line. The receiving end of the line is connected to a jam latch, preferably followed by an n-latch, followed by the digital logic, and followed by a second n-latch. The first n-latch is eliminated in an alternate embodiment, preferably one that uses complementary data signals.

    摘要: Disclosed are multiphase oscillators comprising a plurality of delay stages serially coupled in a loop by a plurality of nodes, with the loop being folded to provide two concentric rings of delay stages with equal numbers of allocated nodes. A second plurality of negative-resistance elements are provided, each element having a first output coupled to a node on the first concentric ring and a second output coupled to a node on the second concentric ring. Each such output switches between first and second voltage levels, and provides a negative resistance to a signal coupled to it during at least a portion of the transition between voltage levels. The outputs of an element switch to opposite voltage levels. With this construction, a high-voltage pulse propagates around the loop of delay stages, with a low-voltage pulse propagating behind it. Also disclosed are circuits to control the direction of pulse propagation.

    摘要: Disclosed is a memory architecture where current sense amplifiers are used instead of voltage sense amplifiers, and where the memory cells normally disposed along a single bit line are divided between two half bit lines. Each half bit line is coupled to a respective input of the current sense amplifier. When one of the memory cells is selected for reading, it couples a current related to its stored data state to the half bit line that it is coupled to. During this operation, a reference current is generated on the other half bit line. Also disclosed are novel current sense amplifiers.
