    摘要: A synchronous circuit implements a bypass mode for use in conjunction with an inductive-capacitive (“LC”) buffer. The LC buffer receives differential conventional clock signals, and generates buffered differential conventional clock signals. A synchronous circuit, such as a latch, includes at least two clock receivers. The conventional clock signal is input to the first clock receiver, such as a transistor, and an auxiliary clock is input to a second clock receiver. The conventional clock signal provides timing for the synchronous circuit under a normal mode of operation, and the auxiliary clock signal provides timing for the synchronous circuit under a test mode of operation at a frequency lower than the conventional clock signal.

    摘要: A logic circuit employs a shunt peaked technique to enhance the switching speed of the circuit without an increase in power dissipation. A differential logic gate implements a digital circuit function. The shunt peaked logic circuit includes two resistive and two inductive elements. For each differential output line, a resistive element is coupled in series to an inductive element so as to couple the circuit power supply voltage to a differential output line. Under this configuration, the bandwidth of the logic circuit is increased without an increase in power consumption. The logic circuit may be implemented using CML or ECL logic.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for buffering RF signals. A method includes receiving an input signal, wherein the input signal alternates between a first polarity and a second polarity. From the input signal, a first current is generated, wherein the first current is proportional to the input signal when the input signal has the first polarity, and approximately equal to zero when the input signal has the second polarity, and a second current is generated, wherein the second current is proportional to the input signal when the input signal has the second polarity, and approximately equal to zero when the input signal has the first polarity. A third current is generated proportional to the first current, and a fourth current is generated proportional to the second current. The first and fourth currents are applied to a first terminal of an inductor; and the second and third currents are applied to a second terminal of the inductor.
