    摘要: A differential amplifier is provided, incorporating negative hysteresis by automatic reference voltage adjustment. A delayed output signal is routed to a switch or multiplexer which functions to select one of two reference voltage levels, creating negative hysteresis. The delayed output signal is delayed by a series of inverters, which prevent certain embodiments of the invention from oscillating under some conditions. The two reference voltage levels are selected to be near the respective data signal input high and low signal voltage levels, but far enough from these levels so as not to be adversely affected by noise or other interference.

    摘要: A complementary input self-biased differential amplifier includes gain compensation devices. The gain compensation devices are in parallel with input transistors and are biased by a self-bias node. The gain control devices serve to keep current flowing in load devices when operating at common-mode extremes, thereby limiting the reduction in amplifier output impedance and limiting the corresponding reduction in differential-mode gain at common-mode extremes. The gain control devices also serve to reduce input stage transconductance near the center of the common-mode input voltage swing, thereby reducing differential-mode gain near the center of the swing, and reducing gain variations across the input common-mode range. The differential amplifier can include multiple input legs on either side of an input stage. Multiple legs allow multiple reference voltages to be compared to a data signal. A bidirectional data link utilizes the multiple reference inputs to remove an ambiguity created by the bidirectional data link.

    摘要: In an electronic system having first and second logic devices, a free running on-chip clock signal is generated by the first logic device, where the signal has a frequency that is controlled to match that of a global free-running clock signal received by both devices. The on-chip clock signal is synchronized to a strobe signal received by the first device and that was transmitted in association with a data signal by the second device. A logic function is repeatedly performed as synchronized by the first clock signal, to repeatedly generate one or more bits from the data signal.
