    摘要: A driver circuit is configured as a frequency compensated differential amplifier having one input coupled to a first data signal and a second input coupled to a second data signal. Each stage of the differential amplifier is biased with a current source. The driver circuit generates a first output signal coupled to the input of a first transmission line and a second output signal coupled to the input of a second transmission line. The first and second output signals are generated as the difference between the first and second data signals amplified by a compensated gain. A compensation network that attenuates the low frequency components of the input signals relative to the high frequency components is coupled between current sources biasing the differential amplifier. The outputs of the first and second transmission lines are coupled to the inputs of a differential receiver that may or may not be frequency compensated.

    摘要: Signaling between two or more ICs use a signaling scheme wherein a reference signal is generated at the driver side and the receiver side. The driver side reference signal is coupled to the receiver side reference signal with a transmission line channel forming a reference channel. Data signal channels are paired with a reference channel between each two adjacent data channels. Adjacent pairs of data signal channels are each separated with an empty wiring channel. The paired data signals are received in one input of a differential receiver. The reference signal of the reference channel between the two paired data channels is coupled to the other input of the two differential receivers. Coupling from the paired data channels to the reference channel appears a common mode noise and is rejected by the differential receivers. The number of channels is reduced from a full differential signaling scheme.

    摘要: A reference generator circuit has a resistor string between the potentials of the power supply voltage that is partitioned into a top string, a middle string, and a bottom string. PFET devices are used to couple the positive power supply voltage a selected node of the top string in response to first control signals and complementary second control signals are used to control NFET devices that couple the ground power supply voltage to a selected node of the bottom string. If a resistor is effectively removed from the top string a corresponding resistor is effectively added in the bottom string keeping the total resistance in the resistor string substantially constant. A pass gate network is used to select between nodes of the middle string as a vernier for generating small step sizes.

    摘要: A mechanism is provided for gating a read access of any row in a cache access memory that has been invalidated. An address decoder in the cache access memory sends a memory access to a non-gated wordline driver and a gated wordline driver associated with the memory access. The non-gated wordline driver outputs the data stored in a valid bit memory cell to the gated wordline driver in response to the non-gated wordline driver determining the memory access as a read access. The gated wordline driver determines whether the data from the valid bit memory cell from the non-gated wordline driver indicates either valid data or invalid data in response to the gated wordline driver determining the memory access as a read access and denies an output of the data in a row of memory cells associated with the gated wordline driver in response to the data being invalid.
