Described is a system and method for driving columns of an active matrix display using a resistor-string digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The description includes an auto-stop buffer circuit that drives an analog data voltage in two steps--the first step being active buffering by a "dead-zone amplifier" before the output reaches a certain level and the second step being acting as a passive conduit after the output reaches the certain level. The dead-zone amplifier inherently turns itself off when the analog voltage reaches the certain level. Also described are various column driver architectures in which buffers are placed in various ways in a column driver in between the resistor-string DAC and the column decoders in order to minimize the number of required buffers.

New very high-speed CMOS techniques are used to achieve a CMOS driver operating at gigabaud speeds. Such a driver may be manufactured more easily than drivers that use GaAs or bipolar techniques and further may be easily integrated with other CMOS circuits. A communication system utilizing the gigabaud CMOS driver may additionally include a receiver with on-chip termination to significantly reduce distortion in the presence of parasitic capacitance in inductance in comparison to a receiver with external termination. Furthermore, the communication system may include a phase tracker and a frame aligner. The phase tracker continously monitors the most frequent transition edges in the oversampled data so that the phase of the receiver clock keeps track of the sender clock. The frame aligner comprises a comma detector which enables instant synchronization of data words with a single comma character within a serial data stream.

A new spread spectrum phase modulation (SSPM) technique is applicable to both data and clock signals. The SSPM technique is more suitable to board level designs than the direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique. In addition, SSPM may be combined with controlled edge rate signaling to outperform DSSS.
摘要:
Switches and capacitors are efficiently used to passively change the voltage level on column electrodes without active driving by the column driver circuit. This significantly reduces the power needed by the column driver circuit to drive voltages of alternating polarity onto the column electrodes. In this way, significant power is saved in both the pixel inversion and the row inversion schemes. The average power savings of various of the embodiments exceeds 50% compared with a simple conventional implementation of a column driver circuit. Another aspect similarly reduces the power used by the column driver circuit in the back plane switching scheme.

Multiple controllable delays reduce EMI radiated during the transmission of multiple synchronized signals. Each controllable delay introduces a controlled delay into a corresponding signal being transmitted. The controlled delay is such that the combined strength of the multiple signals at peak frequencies is substantially reduced. This results in reduced EMI radiation at those peak frequencies.

A method of modulating and demodulating a signal includes modulating data information included in an input data signal provided from an external source and clock information included in an input clock signal provided from the external source into a transmission signal, using (n+1) delay clock signals generated based on the input clock signal, where n is a natural number. The transmission signal is demodulated into an output clock signal including restored clock information and an output data signal including restored data information, using (m+1) delay clock signals generated based on the clock information, where m is a natural number less than n.

A coarse lock detector is disclosed. The course lock detector uses an initial lock range to determine course lock, and once course lock is achieved, uses a modified lock range to determine course lock.
摘要:
A range-matching cell (RMC) includes bit lines (BL); a word line (WL); a match line (ML); search lines (SL); a memory cell (100); a first comparator (110) connected to the memory cell; a second comparator (120) connected to the first comparator, a ground voltage and a predetermined voltage. The comparators conduct a comparing operation in responsive to operator data. Instead of the conventional TCAMs employing 0, 1, and X (don't care) bit, a CAM utilizing the RMC can conduct a comparing operation with less memory by storing the operator data 0 and 1 in advance. Accordingly, memory-use efficiency can be increased.
