    摘要: An input buffer which detects an input signal. The input buffer including an output node, a first buffer, and a second buffer. The first buffer may control the voltage level of the output node when the voltage level of a reference voltage signal is equal to a predetermined voltage level. The second buffer may control the voltage level of the output node in response to the input signal when the voltage level of the reference voltage signal is lower than the predetermined voltage level. The second buffer may maintain the output node at a first level. The second buffer may include an output control section and a level control unit. The output control section may receive the input signal and generate a level output signal at a second level. The level control section may generate a control signal which maintains the output node at the first level, in response to the level output signal when the voltage level of the reference voltage signal is lower than the predetermined voltage level of the first voltage and may intercept the control signal when the voltage level of the reference voltage signal is equal to the predetermined voltage level.

    摘要: A signal transmission circuit and a method equalize differential delay characteristics of two signal transmission lines. A controllable delay unit is connected serially to the second line, so as to compensate by adding its internal delay. An auxiliary signal transmission line replicates the second transmission line, while it processes the input signal of the first. A controlling unit compares the output signal of the first transmission line and the of the auxiliary signal transmission line, and adjusts dynamically the internal delay of the controllable delay unit, to attain continuous synchronization. A data latch circuit synchronizes the delays of data paths by having one controllable delay units in each of the data paths.

    摘要: An input buffer includes an amplifier circuit, such as a differential amplifier circuit, inverting amplifier circuit or pull-up/pull-down amplifier circuit. A momentary boost circuit is coupled to an input buffer input terminal, an input terminal of the amplifier circuit, and an output terminal of the amplifier circuit, and is operative to generate a boosted input signal at the input terminal of the amplifier circuit from an input signal at an input buffer input terminal for an interval that is terminated responsive to an output signal at the output terminal of the amplifier circuit. The momentary boost circuit may include a detector circuit coupled to the output terminal of the amplifier circuit and operative to generate a control signal responsive to a transition of the output signal, and a boost circuit, coupled between the input buffer input terminal and the input terminal of the amplifier circuit and operatively associated with the detector circuit, that receives the input signal at the input buffer input terminal and generates the boosted input signal at the input terminal of the amplifier circuit from the received input signal responsive to the control signal. For example, the boost circuit may include a capacitor coupled between the input buffer input terminal and the input terminal of the amplifier circuit, and a switch that couples and decouples the input terminal of the amplifier circuit to a reference voltage source responsive to the control signal. The detector circuit may be operative to generate a pulse responsive to a transition of the output signal, and the switch may be operative to couple the input terminal of the amplifier circuit to the reference voltage source responsive to the pulse.

The control signal is processed in a variable delay line to generate the delayed clock signal. In an embodiment, a first processor comprises a delay locked loop having a digital phase detector, the digital phase detector comprising a first differential sense amplifier cross-coupled to a second differential sense amplifier, the digital phase detector receiving a clock signal and generating one or more delayed clock signals, a control signal, and a gated data signal.
