    摘要: An input signal is transmitted from a first device to a second device. At the second device the input signal method is received, and an output signal is generated in response to the input signal. The output signal is sensed, and the input signal is dynamically terminated in response to sensing the output data. In some embodiments, the receiving, generating and dynamically terminating occur within a single integrated circuit. In some embodiments, the method includes detecting a signal voltage level of the input signal and causing a termination voltage level to change from a first voltage level to a second voltage level in response to the signal voltage level.

    摘要: A circuit and methods for use in increasing both bandwidth and switching speed of CML circuits. Two differential pairs are provided with one differential pair having a size that is a fraction of the other pair. Thus, one pair will have a size of W while the other will have a size of W/A. Each one of the first differential pair is coupled to at least one of the second pair. By reconfiguring the connections between the two pairs, circuits which have fast charging/discharging times and increased bandwidth are obtained.

    摘要: A driving circuit of this invention has a comparator that compares an input signal with a sampling signal to perform a pulse width modulation to the input signal, a driving transistor circuit that switches according to an output signal of the comparator, and a filter that reduces a switching frequency component of the driving transistor circuit. The switching frequency of the driving transistor circuit is a product of multiplication of a horizontal frequency. Also, a PLL circuit that locks the frequency of the sampling signal to the frequency acquired from multiplication of the horizontal frequency is provided. Therefore, when the driving circuit with the PWM method is built in a television set, beat interference can be prevented, avoiding an unpleasant view caused by the raster interference on the television screen.

    摘要: The impedance of a driver driving a load on the other end of a transmission line is dynamically changed to improve slew rate and glitch termination. The driver is controlled to have a low impedance during an initial part of an edge transition, giving the strong drive needed at that time. At a first predetermined position in the edge transition, approximately equal to the flight time, the driver impedance is raised to a value approximately equal to the transmission line impedance to effectively terminate any reflected signals.
