    摘要: An integrated circuit includes at least one main circuit 313 operable to perform one or more functions. At least one termination node DQ receives or transmits an operating signal. An active termination circuit 301 has first and second transistors of opposite type coupled in series between a Vdd node of a first source potential and a Vss node of a second source potential. The at least one termination node is coupled to a common node between the first and second transistors. A control circuit operates to bias the first and second transistors such that they exhibit a controlled impedance at the common node. Alternatively, the control circuit operates to bias the first and second transistors such that they provide a clamping function at the common node.

    摘要: A current sense amplifier including clamping devices and a current mirror is configured to sense the resistance of an MTJ memory cell utilizing a bitline boost circuit to shorten the charging time for parasitic circuit capacitance. The bitline boost circuit includes a source follower coupled to a reference voltage and a switch coupled to another voltage source. The switch is enabled to conduct during an initial period of sensing the resistance of the memory cell. The source follower in the bitline boost circuit is configured to clamp the voltage of an input signal at substantially the same level as the clamping devices, and to provide additional current to shorten the period for charging parasitic capacitance. The resulting current sense amplifier can be used to implement a memory device with fast and reliable read times and low manufacturing cost.

    摘要: An apparatus for converting a differential mode signal into a single ended signal with reduced power consumption. A preferred embodiment comprises a single ended converter (for example, a single ended converter 505) and an output transistor (for example, output transistor 524) that when the single ended converter 505 is in standby may pull the output of the single ended converter 505 to a known logic state (such as high logic or low logic). A single ended buffer (inverting or non-inverting) may be used for output signal compatibility conversion.

    摘要: A power amplifier is disclosed. In one embodiment, the power amplifier is a Class-D Amplifier having a differential pulse width modulator is disclosed. The differential pulse width modulator has an input for receiving an input signal, a first output for outputting a first signal and a second output for outputting a second signal. A difference between the first signal and the second signal represents the pulse modulated signal. The differential pulse width modulator further has a comparator for comparing the first and second output signals. The comparator switches both the first and second output signal from a high state to a low state, if both the first and second output signals are in a high state.

    摘要: The write path of an MRAM device is precharged before starting a write operation of a magnetic memory cell, increasing the speed of the write operation and decreasing the write cycle time. The reference wires are precharged, which provides better control over the wordline and bitline write pulses and results in shorter rise times. The precharge time can be hidden in the address decoding time or redundancy evaluation time. A circuit design for a global reference current generator is also described herein. A fast on circuit is also disclosed that increases the speed of precharging the reference wires.
