摘要:
An integrated circuit device is discussed that includes a data output driver having two modes of operation for driving a data bus. The output driver includes a circuit to produce a full drive output high signal, a partial drive output high signal, a full drive output low signal and a partial drive output low signal. The output driver is protected against negative voltages on the data bus. The output driver is selectable and adaptable to drive terminated loads and unterminated loads.

Systems and methods are provided for operating a delay locked loop during a reset. The systems and methods provide for activating a reset mode signal to prevent a phase lock signal from forcing the DLL out of a reset, and deactivating the reset mode signal only after at least one shifting operation is performed to allow the phase lock signal to correctly allow the DLL to be out of the reset.

A system and method to operate an electronic device, such as a memory chip, with an output driver circuit that is configured to include an ODT (On-Die Termination) mode detector detects whether there is sufficient internal clocking available to operate the ODT portion in the output driver in the synchronous mode of operation or to switch the operation to the asynchronous mode. The clock-sufficiency based determination of internal ODT mode of operation (synchronous vs. asynchronous) avoids utilization of complex and inflexible clock processing logic in an ODT control unit in the output driver. This enables the actual clocking to the ODT circuitry to be changed during various device operational modes (e.g., active, power down, etc.) without re-designing the ODT control logic for each of those modes. The simplicity and flexibility of the ODT mode detector design allows for efficient use of chip real estate without affecting the signal transfer speed of the output driver in the electronic device. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

A delay-locked loop adjusts a delay of a clock signal that is generated in response to an external clock signal. The clock signal is applied to an output buffer to clock the buffer so that data or clock signals from the buffer are synchronized with the external clock signal. The output buffer operates in a full-drive and reduced-drive mode in response to an output drive strength bit having first and second logic states, respectively. The delay-locked loop adjusts the delay of the clock signal in response to the state of the output drive strength bit to keep the data or clock signals from the buffer synchronized during both modes of operation.

A circuit is designed with a delay circuit (300) coupled to receive a clock input signal (CLK) and a control signal (DFT). The control signal has a first logic state and a second logic state. The delay circuit produces a clock control signal (*CLK) at a first time in response to the first logic state and at a second time in response to the second logic state. A clock circuit (200) is coupled to receive the clock input signal and is enabled by the clock control signal. The clock circuit produces a first clock pulse signal having a predetermined width in response to a first transition of the clock input signal and produces a second clock pulse signal having the predetermined width in response to a second transition of the clock input signal.
