    摘要: An all-CMOS output buffer drives a bus that can operate at 3 volts and 5 volts. When in a high-impedance state, the output buffer draws little or no current. If the bus is driven to 5 volts by an external device, the high impedance output buffer is in danger of latch-up and distortion of the bus logic level since it only has a 3-volt power supply and does not use a charge pump or an extra 5-volt supply. A biasing circuit couples an N-well that contains p-channel transistors and a driver transistor to the bus driven to 5 volts. Thus the N-well is also driven to 5 volts, the voltage on the bus. The gate of the p-channel driver transistor in the high-impedance output buffer is also coupled to the N-well by another p-channel transistor, raising the gate potential to 5 volts. Thus the gate and body of the p-channel driver transistor is at 5 volts, eliminating reversing current and latch-up problems. A transmission gate isolates the gate of the p-channel driver transistor from the rest of the device's circuitry. The p-channel transistors of the transmission gate, bias circuitry, and driver transistor are located in the N-well, which is biased up to 5 volts only when necessary. Thus during normal operation, the N-well of the driver transistor is at 3 volts, eliminating a performance loss from the body effect. A logic gate increases the well bias and isolates the driver's gate only when necessary, when the bus is high and driven by a 5-volt device, and the output buffer is in high-impedance.

    摘要: A network processing device calculates variable link metrics and then prioritizes selection of network links for sending packets according to the calculated variable link metrics. The variable link metrics can include a link capacity index that represents a combination of platform and interface capabilities for nodes on opposite ends of the network links. The link metrics can also include an expected retransmission value that indicates the percentage of packets that may have to be transmitted over different links.
