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.

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.

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.

A voltage generation circuit generates an output voltage at an output node thereof by sharing charge between a first node and a second node so as to increase a potential at the second node from a first voltage to a second voltage. The first node is charged to a third voltage and the second node is driven to a fourth voltage that is greater than the third voltage. Charge is shared between the first node and the second node so that the first and second nodes reach a common fifth voltage, which is between the third and fourth voltages. The first node is driven to a sixth voltage, which is greater than the fourth voltage. Charge is shared between the first node and the output node to generate the output voltage thereat.

In an information processing apparatus, a transmission distortion of a signal transmitted between a module and a controller is reduced. A plurality of modules and a controller controlling the modules are mounted on a circuit board. A bus line connects the controller to the modules, the bus line including a main line and a plurality of branch lines each of which is branched from the main line and is connected to a respective one of the modules. Impedance matching elements are provided to the main line of the bus line so as to match a characteristic impedance between the controller and each of the modules. Each of the impedance matching elements is located behind a branch point of one of the branch lines connected to the respective one of the modules with respect to the controller.

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.

A programmable impedance control circuit for detecting a characteristic impedance of transmission line to thereby output it to an output driver and on-chip terminator in a semiconductor device.
