A self-ready flash null Convention Logic (NCL) gate includes a one-shot circuit to create the flash timing to reset the gate to a null state. The one-shot circuit may be any type of circuit to generate a pulse in response to a change of state of an input line. In one embodiment, the one-shot circuit may start the pulse in response to a change of a flash input line and end the pulse in response to the NCL output being reset to a null state.

A twisted-pair current driver is implemented in CMOS. EMI from sharp changes in the current driven is reduced by gradually changing the current driven when the inputs change. The current driver is divided into N differential drivers, each driving one-Nth of the total switching current to the twisted pair. Delay lines delay when input changes are sent to each of the four differential drivers, staggering their response. Either binary or multi-level-transition (MLT-3) data can be transmitted. A binary-to-MLT converter uses a dummy flip-flop to match delays and eliminate encoding glitches. Either the binary or the MLT-3 encoded data is coupled to the inputs of the delay lines and the differential drivers. The mid-level for MLT-3 is driven when both the inputs are high, causing the differential drivers to split the current among the two differential outputs to the twisted pair. The amount of current switched by each differential driver is doubled for multi-level mode to allow receivers to observe the smaller, multiple steps.

A 3-value input buffer circuit is configured by a first N-channel MOS transistor whose source is connected to an input terminal, a first P-channel MOS transistor which is connected to the first N-channel MOS transistor, a first inverter whose input is connected to a drain of the first P-channel MOS transistor, a second P-channel MOS transistor whose source is connected to the input terminal, a second N-channel MOS transistor which is connected to the second P-channel MOS transistor, a second inverter which is connected to a drain of the second N-channel MOS transistor, and a voltage applying circuit which is constituted by P-channel MOS transistors and which applies a constant voltage to a gate of each of the first N-channel MOS transistor and the second P-channel MOS transistor. The first N-channel MOS transistor and the second P-channel MOS transistor are cut off when the input terminal is in an open state. Thus, the power consumption can be significantly suppressed.

In an input level converter for TTL-CMOS level conversion (or other conversion to CMOS) for an internal logic block operating with CMOS levels, an output transistor for executing the charge or discharge of the output capacitance thereof is formed of a bipolar transistor. Thus, the propagation delay times and their capacitance-dependencies of the input level converter can be lessened. Similarly, in an output level converter for CMOS-TTL level conversion (or other conversion from CMOS) for the internal logic block operating with the CMOS levels, an output transistor for executing the charge or discharge of the output load capacitance thereof is formed of a bipolar transistor. Thus, the propagation delay times and their capacitance-dependencies of the output level converter can also be lessened.

An address buffer circuit which generates a pair of complementary signals for selecting a memory cell according to an address input signal is disclosed. This address buffer circuit comprises a short circuit device connected between a pair of output terminals for the complementary signals. During the stand-by period of a memory, the short circuit device electrically connects the pair of output terminals, so that the potential of both of the pair of output terminals becomes an intermediate level between high and low levels provided at the output terminals during the active period of the memory.
摘要:
A logic circuit in which a first switching means controlled by a first clock pulse signal and a second switching means controlled by a second clock pulse signal are connected in series with each other between the terminals of a first and a second power source, the first and the second clock pulse signals being out of phase from each other, in which an external signal having three levels is applied as an input to the junction point of the first and second switching means, the three-level signal has a first level, i.e. the voltage of the first power source, a second level, i.e. the voltage of the second power source, and an open level, and in which an output is delivered at the junction point. In the logic circuit, when the external input is at the first or the second level, an output corresponding to the input is delivered irrespective of the clock pulses; and when the external input is at the open level, the first level is delivered on the arrival of the first clock pulse while the second level is delivered on the arrival of the second clock pulse, whereby the three levels externally applied can be identified.

A logical circuit comprises a circuit having a plurality of insulated gate field effect transistors of different channel types and three terminals to which are connected corresponding voltage sources each having a different voltage level, and means for supplying first, second and third logical signals having the maximum and minimum voltage levels of the above-mentioned three different voltage levels to the circuit so that only one current path is always created between an output terminal of the circuit and any one of the three terminals. As a result, the logical circuit can generate an output having three logical levels.
