    摘要: Circuitry and methods are provided for an LVDS-like transmitter that may be able to DC couple to a receiver having a CML termination scheme. Replacing the common mode voltage source of an LVDS transmitter with a resistive pulldown to ground may allow the transmitter to interface in a DC coupled fashion with a CML receiver. Further, the resistive pulldown may be programmable. This LVDS-like transmitter may be able to support a wider customer base by allowing it to DC couple to a wider range of termination voltage levels, such as CML termination voltage levels.

    摘要: Circuitry for distributing clock signals (e.g., reference clock signals) among a plurality of blocks of circuitry. Each block may include reference clock source circuitry and reference clock utilization circuitry. Each block also preferably includes an identical or substantially identical module of clock signal distribution circuitry that can (1) accept a signal from the source circuitry in that block, (2) apply any of several clock signals to the utilization circuitry in that block, and (3) connect to the similar module(s) of one or more adjacent blocks.

    摘要: Enhanced passgate structures for use in low-voltage systems are presented in which the operational speed of the passgate structures is maximized, while minimizing leakage current when the structure is turned “OFF.” In one arrangement, the VT of the pass-gate structures is increased relative to the VT of other transistors fabricated according to a particular process dimension. In addition, a passgate activation voltage is applied to the passgate structures such that the passgate activation voltage is higher in voltage than a nominal voltage being supplied to circuitry other than the passgate structures.

    摘要: An integrated circuit like a programmable logic device (“PLD”) includes multiple channels of data communication circuitry. Circuitry is provided for selectively sharing signals (e.g., control-type signals) among these channels in groupings of various size so that the device can better support communication protocols that require various numbers of channels (e.g., one channel operating relatively independently, four channels working together, eight channels working together, etc.). The signals shared may include a clock signal, a FIFO write enable signal, a FIFO read enable signal, or the like. The circuit arrangements are preferably modular (i.e., the same or substantially the same from one channel to the next and/or from one group of channels to the next) to facilitate such things as circuit design and verification.
