摘要:
A circuit, including: a capacitor coupled between a first circuit node and a second circuit node and that leaks a leakage current from the first circuit node to the second circuit node; and a compensation circuit adapted to supply a compensatory current to compensate for the leakage current to the first circuit node.

Techniques and systems whereby operation of and/or access to particular features of an electronic device may be controlled after the device has left the control of the manufacturer are provided. The operation and/or access may be provided based on values stored in non-volatile storage elements, such as electrically programmable fused (eFUSES).
摘要:
A first, “known good” reference off-chip driver circuit actuated by an initial logic program (IPL) input signal has an output lead connected as one of the inputs to a comparator circuit for providing a reference off-chip driver output signal. A second off-chip driver circuit including a plurality of “n” separate driver circuit paths connected to input signal and produces output signals connected to a common node to provide output driver signals to the common node. The common node is connected to the second input of the comparator circuit for comparison with the reference off-chip driver output signal from the first off-chip driver circuit to determine the operating state of the second off-chip driver circuit with respect to the operating state of the first off-chip driver circuit.
摘要:
A method and system for providing communication between electronic devices that uses the phase of data transmitted between the devices to indicate logical one and zero values. The method and system has the added benefit of relieving the traditional limitations of voltage communication restraints between devices having differing core voltages (i.e. Differing generations).

摘要:
An integrated circuit amplifier includes, in an exemplary embodiment, a first field effect transistor (FET) device configured as a common source amplifier with source degeneration and a second FET device configured as a tunneling gate FET, the tunneling gate FET coupled to the source follower. The tunneling gate FET is further configured so as to set a transconductance of the amplifier and the common source amplifier with source degeneration is configured so as to set an output conductance of the amplifier.

A design structure is embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing, or testing a design. The design structure includes a first structure for determining a non-linear characteristic of the input voltage to the output frequency response, the first design structure providing a tunneling-based current relationship with the input voltage. Also disclosed is a system and a method of implementing such structure.

摘要:
The invention includes an error correcting logic system that allows critical circuits to be hardened with only one redundant unit and without loss of circuit performance. The system provides an interconnecting gate that suppresses a fault in one of at least two redundant dynamic logic gates that feed to the interconnecting gate. The system is applicable to dynamic or static logic systems. The system prevents propagation of a fault, and addresses not only soft errors, but noise-induced errors.
