    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a mechanism for transmitting and receiving differential signals. A transmitter combines a direct current (DC) to DC converter including a capacitor with a 2:1 multiplexer to drive a pair of differential signaling lines. The transmitter drives a pair of voltages that are symmetric about the ground power supply level. Signaling currents are returned to the ground plane to minimize the generation of noise that is a source of crosstalk between different differential signaling pairs. Noise introduced through the power supply is correlated with the switching rate of the data and may be reduced using an equalizer circuit.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a clamping circuit that is used to maintain a bit line of a storage cell in a memory array at a nearly constant clamp voltage. During read operations the bit line is pulled high or low from the clamp voltage by the storage cell and a change in current on the bit line is converted by the clamping circuit to produce an amplified voltage that may be sampled to read a value stored in the storage cell. The clamping circuit maintains the nearly constant clamp voltage on the bit line. Clamping the bit line to the nearly constant clamp voltage reduces the occurrence of read disturb faults. Additionally, the clamping circuit functions with a variety of storage cells and does not require that the bit lines be precharged prior to each read operation.

    摘要: An equalizer provided in a digital transmitter compensates for attenuation in a signal channel to a digital receiver. The equalizer generates signal levels as a logical function of bit history to emphasize transition signal levels relative to repeated signal levels. The preferred equalizer includes an FIR transition filter using a look-up table. Parallel circuits including FIR filters and digital-to-analog converters provide a high speed equalizer with lower speed circuitry. The equalizer is particularly suited to in-cabinet and local area network transmissions where feedback circuitry facilitates adaptive training of the equalizer.

    摘要: A circuit has a phase adjustment circuit to generate an adjusted clock signal by adjusting a first clock signal in accordance with a control signal. A multiplexer receives input data signals on a plurality of first data lines and outputs onto at least one second data line output data signals in accordance with a plurality of second clock signals. A timing measurement circuit determines at least one timing parameter of at least one output data signal on at least the one second data line and generates the control signal in accordance with a deviation of at least the one timing parameter from a desired value.
