摘要:
This invention provides a semiconductor device in which an ESD protection circuit and a termination circuit can be realized with a small die area. A PMOS transistor having an ESD protection function is placed between a signal node on a line from an signal terminal to an input buffer and a supply voltage node. Furthermore, a voltage generator circuit is placed to supply a reference voltage to the gate of the PMOS transistor. By the reference voltage controlled by the voltage generator circuit, a source drain resistance of the PMOS transistor is set. Thereby, the PMOS transistor can be made to function as a terminating resistor whose resistance can be set adaptively to a characteristic impedance of a transmission line, for example, connected to the signal terminal in addition to the ESD protection function.

This invention provides a signal transmission circuit, a signal output circuit, and a termination method of a signal transmission circuit capable of preventing the re-reflection of the signal at a transmitting node of a transmission path even when an impedance of a signal output circuit does not match a characteristic impedance of a transmission path.

In a signal transmission system where an influence of the circuit characteristic variation of an input circuit on signal receiving operation cannot be ignored, there is provided a method of realizing a low-offset input circuit which is capable of conducting high-speed operation and always continuing signal receiving operation without increasing the number of terminals of a semiconductor integrated circuit and without the necessity of providing additional signal observing means and variation adjustment amount calculating means to the external of the semiconductor integrated circuit. In a signal receiver circuit having an input circuit, an automatic zero amplifier, an analog/digital converter circuit, an encoder circuit, and a signal holding circuit, an output error signal of the input circuit is amplified by the automatic zero amplifier, and the signal is digitalized or the digitalized signal is encoded as the occasion demands, and held by the holding circuit, and the circuit characteristic variation of the input circuit is adjusted by the held signal.

To compensate for an offset voltage of the input circuit block 102, an offset voltage of the input circuit block 102 is detected at the detecting circuit block 106 by turning on the switches 108, 109, and the detected offset voltage is held in the adjusting and holding circuit block 107, and negative feedback of the held offset voltage to the adder-subtractor circuit block 105 is performed. Thereby, signals Vop, Von having compensated offset voltages are outputted from the input circuit block 102.
