    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and means for maintaining a low output common-mode voltage in a driver are provided. One example apparatus includes a first differential amplifier stage configured to provide a differential output for the apparatus; and a second differential amplifier stage configured to drive the first differential amplifier stage, the second differential amplifier stage including a pair of pre-driver amplifiers, a pair of n-stage circuits, and an input skew averaging circuit, wherein each of the pair of n-stage units is split into two half blocks. The input skew averaging circuit is configured to suppress the output common-mode voltage by driving the blocks with complementary digital inputs to average out a skew in a gate-to-source voltage of the pair of n-stage circuits. For certain aspects, two feed-forward capacitors may be added to enhance the transconductance and operating speed of main transistors of the first differential amplifier stage.

    摘要: A divide-by-seven divider includes a first module clocked with a clock input, and a second module coupled to the first module and clocked with an output of the first module. The first and second modules are configured to divide the clock input by seven and to output the divided clock input. The first module may be configured to store a count between 0 and 3 in a count cycle. The divide-by-seven divider may further include a feedback module coupled between the first module and the second module that is configured to cause the first module to skip one count in the count between 0 and 3 once every other count cycle. Specifically, the first module may be configured to store incrementally the count “00,” “10,” “11,” and “01” in a count cycle and to skip the count “01” every other count cycle based on input from the feedback module.
