摘要： A level shifter circuit includes an input circuit, an inverter, a pull-up circuit, and a pull-down circuit. The input circuit generates a pull-up signal in response to an input signal using charge from a supply voltage. The inverter inverts the input signal to generate a pull-down signal. The inverter comprises complementary transistors that receive charge from the supply voltage. The pull-up circuit pulls a level shifted output signal of the level shifter circuit to the supply voltage in response to the pull-up signal. The pull-down circuit pulls the level shifted output signal to a low voltage in response to the pull-down signal.

摘要： Circuits and a method for tuning an integrated circuit (IC) are disclosed. The IC includes a storage circuit coupled to receive a data signal, a clock input signal and a reset signal. The storage circuit may be used to generate a clock signal. The reset signal is supplied by a reset circuit. The reset circuit may include one or more logic gates to generate the reset signal. The reset circuit receives a phase shifted version of the clock input signal and the reset signal is generated based on the phase shifted version of the clock input signal. In one embodiment, the reset signal is a series of pulses generated at specific intervals to shift the output of the storage circuit from logic high level to logic low level.

摘要： An integrated circuit (“IC”) may include clock and data recovery (“CDR”) circuitry for recovering data information from an input serial data signal. The CDR circuitry may include a reference clock loop and a data loop. A retimed (recovered) data signal output by the CDR circuitry is monitored by other control circuitry on the IC for a communication change request contained in that signal. Responsive to such a request, the control circuitry can change an operating parameter of the CDR circuitry (e.g., a frequency division factor used in either of the above-mentioned loops). This can help the IC support communication protocols that employ auto-speed negotiation.

摘要： A fully differential continuous-time current-mode high-speed complimentary metal oxide semiconductor comparator is disclosed. The comparator includes an input and an output; a pre-amplifier clement coupled to each respective one of the plurality of inverters; an application switch operative to couple the pre-amplifier element to the input of a corresponding one of the plurality of inverters, the application switch having a first duty cycle; a current source operative to provide a bias current; and a bias switch operative to couple the bias current to each of the plurality of inverters, the bias switch having a duty cycle that is complementary to the duty cycle of the application switch, wherein the output of each of the plurality of inverters is pulled to about one-half the maximum output voltage level before a comparison between input signals is performed. By maintaining the comparator output at a substantially predetermined voltage level during non-operating periods, the switching characteristics of the comparator are enhanced.
