    摘要: A differential amplifier is provided, incorporating negative hysteresis by automatic reference voltage adjustment. A delayed output signal is routed to a switch or multiplexer which functions to select one of two reference voltage levels, creating negative hysteresis. The delayed output signal is delayed by a series of inverters, which prevent certain embodiments of the invention from oscillating under some conditions. The two reference voltage levels are selected to be near the respective data signal input high and low signal voltage levels, but far enough from these levels so as not to be adversely affected by noise or other interference.

    摘要: A complementary input self-biased differential amplifier includes gain compensation devices. The gain compensation devices are in parallel with input transistors and are biased by a self-bias node. The gain control devices serve to keep current flowing in load devices when operating at common-mode extremes, thereby limiting the reduction in amplifier output impedance and limiting the corresponding reduction in differential-mode gain at common-mode extremes. The gain control devices also serve to reduce input stage transconductance near the center of the common-mode input voltage swing, thereby reducing differential-mode gain near the center of the swing, and reducing gain variations across the input common-mode range. The differential amplifier can include multiple input legs on either side of an input stage. Multiple legs allow multiple reference voltages to be compared to a data signal. A bidirectional data link utilizes the multiple reference inputs to remove an ambiguity created by the bidirectional data link.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for outbound wave subtraction using a variable offset amplifier is described. The method includes calibration of a bi-directional signaling circuit in order to calculate one or more offset codes for cancellation of an outbound wave within a bi-directional communications link. Once the one or more offset codes are calculated, it is determined whether a dual inbound wave is received by the bi-directional signaling circuit. Once received, an offset code from the one or more calculated offset codes is selected according to a value of an outbound wave within the dual inbound/outbound wave. Finally, the outbound wave is cancelled from the dual inbound wave at an output of a variable offset amplifier using the selected offset code.

    摘要: A simultaneous bidirectional port coupled to a bus combines a synchronization circuit and a data transceiver circuit. The combination data and synchronization transceiver circuit synchronizes the port with another simultaneous bidirectional port coupled to the same bus. The combination data and synchronization transceiver circuit includes a driver with a variable output current and a variable output resistance. Prior to synchronization, the driver has a low output current and low output resistance. When the simultaneous bidirectional port is ready to communicate, the variable output resistance is increased. When both simultaneous bidirectional ports are ready, the variable output resistance is set to properly terminate the line, and the variable output current is set to provide a desired voltage swing.

    摘要: A simultaneous bidirectional data port circuit includes a current mode output driver for driving an output node and a current mode return driver for driving a differential receiver. The current mode return driver is scalable to reduce current requirements. Each driver is divided into driver segments. Some driver segments are driven by outbound data, and other driver segments are driven by pre-equalization data. Variable pre-equalization is provided by a pre-driver that selects the number of driver segments to be driven with pre-equalization data and the number of driver segments to be driven by outbound data.
