摘要:
A method and an apparatus to provide time-based edge-rate compensation have been disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a reference pad, a reference circuit coupled to the reference pad, the reference circuit being operable to charge and to discharge a reference voltage at the reference pad, and an edge-rate detection and measurement circuit coupled to the reference pad to detect and to measure an edge-rate of the reference voltage at the reference pad. Other embodiments have been claimed and described.
摘要:
For one disclosed embodiment, a driver may generate an output signal on a line. A predriver may receive an input signal and control the driver in response to the input signal to help improve symmetry of rise and fall transitions in the output signal. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
摘要:
In some embodiments, a circuit is provided with a transmitter to generate switching noise during clock events when no transition occurs to reduce data dependent switching noise.
摘要:
With some transmitter embodiments disclosed herein, static power consumption in low power modes may be reduced without excessively increasing latency.
摘要:
In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes an apparatus for calibrating signals. The apparatus includes a unity gain detector to traverse a gain curve of an output buffer circuit to determine unity gain voltages associated with unity gain crossover points on an input voltage ramp. The apparatus further includes a pre-boost circuit to apply the unity gain voltages to at least one input/output buffer within the output buffer circuit.

摘要:
A high frequency data transmission circuit including design for testability (DFT) features. An integrated circuit includes core control logic to provide a data signal and output drive logic including a local data latch and a transmitter. The data latch receives the data signal and provides true and complementary forms of the data signal to the transmitter over symmetrical signal paths. The transmitter provides an output signal to an external receiver.
