摘要： A chip is provided in which an on-chip matching network has a first terminal conductively connected to a bond pad of the chip and a second terminal conductively connected to a common node on the chip. A wiring trace connects the on-chip matching network to a circuit of the chip. The on-chip matching network includes an electrostatic discharge protection (ESD) circuit having at least one diode having a first terminal conductively connected to the bond pad and a second terminal connected in an overvoltage discharge path to a source of fixed potential. The matching network further includes a first inductor coupled to provide a first inductive path between the bond pad and the wiring trace, a termination resistor having a first terminal connected to the common node, and a second inductor coupled to provide a second inductive path between the wiring trace and a second terminal of the termination resistor.

摘要： An apparatus is provided which includes a common signal node operable to conduct a first signal, a first circuit coupled to the common signal node to utilize the first signal and a signal-handling element coupled to the common signal node. The signal-handling element includes an isolating circuit coupled to the first conductor, a second conductor operable to conduct an output of the isolating circuit, and a signal-handling circuit coupled to the second conductor. The signal-handling circuit is operable to perform a signal-handling function in response to the output of the isolating circuit. By virtue of the isolating circuit, the signal-handling circuit and the first circuit are isolated from the second conductor and the signal-handling circuit. Preferably, the achieved isolation permits a communication signal included in the first signal to be conducted within a communication apparatus with less capacitance, and producing less return loss of that signal.

摘要： A Partially Non-Volatile Dynamic Random Access Memory (PNDRAM) uses a DRAM array formed by a plurality of single transistor (1T) cells or two transistor (2T) cells. The cells are electrically programmable as a non-volatile memory. This results in a single chip design featuring both, a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and an electrically programmable-read-only-memory (EPROM). The DRAM and the EPROM integrated in the PNDRAM can be easily reconfigured at any time, whether during manufacturing or in the field. The PNDRAM has multiple applications such as combining a main memory with ID, BIOS, or operating system information in a single chip.
