摘要:
Charge-coupled devices are very sensitive to clock cross-talk due to the overlap between successive electrodes. The influence of this cross-talk is reduced when the clock lines are periodically connected to ground by a low-ohmic impedance. For this purpose, each clock line is controlled from a buffer, whose output is connected to a clock line. A clamping transistor is connected between the output and ground. When this clamping transistor is controlled by means of the output signal and at the same time by the input signal of the buffer, the output is clamped to ground at the instant at which the cross-talk is expected by means of only a single clamping transistor.

The invention relates to a CCD input and reference charge generator, in which the occurrence of electron injection into the substrate (due to cross-talk to the substrate) and hence undesired signal distortions is prevented. For this purpose, the generator is provided with a voltage divider (26) which is constituted at least for a part (28) by a resistance element arranged outside the substrate, for example, by a polycrystalline silicon resistor. Thus, it is achieved that input diode zones (11) are no longer connected to the substrate voltage.

An integrated logic circuit includes a push-pull amplifier stage, in which by means of a bootstrap circuit the potential at the gate of the "push" transistor is brought above the supply voltage so that the output voltage of the amplifier lies above the supply voltage minus the threshold voltage of the push transistor. In order to prevent the charge from leaking away after the bootstrap capacitance has been charged via an enhancement transistor, the enhancement transistor is cut off by means of the "low" input signal. A second bootstrap circuit (between the input and the gate of the enhancement transistor) ensures that the first bootstrap capacitance is charged up to the full supply voltage because the latter gate electrode is lifted above the supply voltage by the second bootstrap.

In relatively large systems of (integrated) circuits, data signals can experience a delay which is in the order of magnitude of a clock-pulse period. The receiving circuit (i.e. receiving the data signal) then receives the data signal too late (the clock pulse has ceased) and can at that moment no longer take over the data signal for further processing or transport. In the system according to the invention the clock pulses are led via a delaying element (for example, the inverting circuits in series) to the receiving circuit (slave of the master/slave flip-flop). The data output of the receiving circuit is connected to a data input of another circuit (master of another master/slave flip-flop), which receives the undelayed clock pulses, the data delay between the receiving circuit and the other circuit being negligible. The data delay is thus distributed over two clock pulses.
摘要:
In integrated circuits the delay of the signal transitions has to lie within specified limits. This delay is partly determined by variations in the manufacturing process (process scatter). To compensate for the effect of this scatter a load capacitance is connected via a switching element to a node which is to be influenced in the integrated circuit. The switching element receives a reference voltage which is dependent on the manufacturing process and is generated by reference source, so that the node capacitance 26 is connected to the node for a longer or shorter time, depending on the process scatter.

摘要:
Memory cells in an integrated memory circuit are arranged in blocks and selected by block selection gates. This method of activation offers the advantage that the memory cells are accessed faster and that the power consumption is lower than in a memory which is not subdivided into blocks, because only a small group of memory cells is activated per selection operation. A block selection circuit is provided in which selection gates of two neighboring rows of memory cells have one common transistor. As a result of the multiple use of contact areas and the use of a mirror-symmetrical architecture, the lay-out can make optimum use of the available substrate surface area.
摘要:
Digital integrated C-MOS circuit in which two cross-coupled P-MOS transistors are connected by two separation transistors (N-MOS) to two complementary switching N-MOS transistor logic networks. The gate electrodes of the separation transistor are connected to a reference voltage source. The switching speed of the C-MOS circuit is increased in that (a) the voltage sweep across the logic networks is reduced; (b) each P-MOS transistor, which is connected by a separation transistor to a junction of the logic network to be charged, is slightly conducting and so is "ready" to charge such junction, and (c) the separation transistor between the fully conducting P-MOS transistor and the junction to be discharged in the second logic network constitutes a high impedance which prevents the conducting P-MOS transistor from charging that junction.
摘要:
A static RAM memory is optimized for speed. The memory is divided into major memory matrices and each major memory matrix is divided into memory blocks. The memory blocks are divided in groups that per group have address bits in common, which however are per group coupled to separate pads or sets of pads. These pads are interconnected on the package to common package pins.
摘要:
In a memory cell which is connected between two bit lines, information is stored after selection by causing a first bit line to convey a signal which is complementary to that on a second bit line. It is known, starting from a single data supply line which may convey either a high or a low signal, to provide a memory circuit per column with inverting means so as to be able to charge both bit lines complementarily. Here, this complementary charging is done by connecting, upon selection, the first bit line to the data supply line and connecting a transistor with its main electrodes between ground and the second bit line, which transistor receives the data at its control electrode. This transistor then constitutes, with the bit line load, an inverter. Lay-out aspects relate to the common use of substrate area of two adjacent columns and the common use of a contact in the shown circuit arrangement.
