    摘要: An integrated circuit includes at least one main circuit 313 operable to perform one or more functions. At least one termination node DQ receives or transmits an operating signal. An active termination circuit 301 has first and second transistors of opposite type coupled in series between a Vdd node of a first source potential and a Vss node of a second source potential. The at least one termination node is coupled to a common node between the first and second transistors. A control circuit operates to bias the first and second transistors such that they exhibit a controlled impedance at the common node. Alternatively, the control circuit operates to bias the first and second transistors such that they provide a clamping function at the common node.

    摘要: System and method for reducing power consumption and noise in a transmission system with an asymmetrically terminated transmission line. A preferred embodiment comprises encoding data words to reduce the number of times a given state appears in a code word. The preferred embodiment comprises counting the number of times a given state appears in a data word. If the count is greater than half of the total number of bits in the data word, then the data word is inverted and a weight bit can be set to the given state. If the count is less than (or equal to) half of the total number of bits, then the data word may be unchanged and the weight bit can be set to the inverse of the given state. The code word can be generated by appending the weight bit to the data word.

A bitline precharge block is coupled between the first bitline and the second bitline. A sense amplifier is coupled to both the first bitline and the second bitline and a sense amplifier precharge block is coupled to the sense amplifier. The sense amplifier precharge block can be activated independently from the bitline precharge block. An isolation block is coupled between the pair of complementary bitlines and the bitline precharge block on one side and the sense amplifier and sense amplifier precharge block on another side.
