    摘要: Techniques for on-chip impedance termination are provided that substantially reduce the number of external resistors that are need to provide impedance termination at a plurality of pairs of differential input/output (I/O) pins. On-chip impedance termination circuits of the present invention may include an amplifier, a feedback loop, and an impedance termination circuit. A reference voltage is provided to a first input terminal of the amplifier. A feedback loop is coupled between an output terminal of the amplifier and a second input terminal of the amplifier. The amplifier drives its output voltage so that the voltage at the second input terminal matches the voltage at the first input terminal. The output voltage of the amplifier determines the resistance of the impedance termination circuit. The impedance termination circuit is coupled between differential I/O pins.

    摘要: A dynamic phase alignment circuit includes a phase generator circuit having delay-locked loop circuits that generate periodic output signals. Each of the delay-locked loop circuits generates one of the periodic output signals in response to at least two periodic input signals. A multiplexer circuit selects a selected periodic signal from among the periodic input signals and the periodic output signals based on select signals. A phase detection circuit compares a phase of the selected periodic signal to a data signal to generate a phase detection signal. A control logic circuit generates the select signals. The control logic circuit adjusts the select signals based on changes in the phase detection signal to cause the multiplexer circuit to adjust the phase of the selected periodic signal.

    摘要: A programmable input/output circuit for a programmable logic device input/output pin can be configured in a standard I/O mode, or in a reference voltage mode. The circuit includes a tristatable, but otherwise standard I/O buffer as well as a reference voltage clamp circuit. In reference voltage mode, the I/O circuit is tristated, and the reference voltage clamp circuit passes a reference voltage from the I/O pin to a reference voltage bus. In standard I/O mode, the I/O buffer is operational. The reference voltage clamp circuit isolates the I/O pin from the reference voltage bus and may include undervoltage and overvoltage protection to prevent disturbance of the reference voltage bus by an out-of-range I/O signal.

    摘要: Integrated circuits with on-chip impedance matching techniques, which greatly reduce the number of off-chip resistors that are coupled to the integrated circuit, are provided. On-chip impedance matching circuits of the present invention are associated with each of a plurality of I/O pins on an integrated circuit. Circuitry of the present invention may include a resistor divider that has a resistor and an on-chip transistor. The resistance of the on-chip transistor and a voltage output signal of the resistor divider vary with process, temperature, and voltage of the integrated circuit. The effective channel W/L ratio of the impedance matching circuit changes in response to the voltage output signal of the resistor divider, so that changes in the impedance of the impedance matching circuit caused by the variations in process, temperature, and voltage are minimized.
