    摘要: An apparatus includes a plurality of programmable hardware resources and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) disposed on an IC die. The ADC is configured to quantize values of one or more analog parameters of the IC die. The apparatus also includes a configuration control circuit configured to program the programmable hardware resources in response to a set of configuration data. The programmable hardware resources are programmed to implement a set of circuits specified by the configuration data and to connect the ADC to respective nodes of the IC die for sampling the analog parameters. The apparatus also includes an interface circuit coupled to the ADC and configured to generate a control signal based on quantized values of the one or more analog parameters from the ADC. The interface circuit outputs the control signal to a power supply coupled to a power terminal of the IC die.

    摘要: Systems and methods for equalizing an output driver circuit based on information from calibration of the output impedance of the driver circuit are disclosed. Settings that result from the calibration are referred to as calibration codes. The output driver circuit includes multiple pull-up elements that are enabled or disabled to produce a desired output impedance when the output is high and multiple pull-down elements that are enabled or disabled to produce the desired output impedance when the output is low. The number of pull-up elements that are enabled and the number of pull-down elements that are enabled is set by calibration. The results of the calibration (i.e., the number of enabled elements for the pull-up and the number of enabled elements for the pull-down) are used to set controls for an amount of pre-emphasis and/or to set controls for output slew rates.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a detection circuit formed as part of an integrated circuit. In one example, the detection circuit includes a signal generator configured to generate a reference signal, and an amplification circuit comprising a p-channel transistor and an n-channel transistor, wherein the amplification circuit is affected by a variability that also affects a functional circuit formed as part of the integrated circuit. The variability causes the p-channel transistor and the n-channel transistor to have different respective drive strengths. The amplification circuit is configured to receive the reference signal and to provide an amplified signal representative of a difference in the respective drive strengths, wherein the reference signal is more insensitive to the variability than the amplified signal. The present disclosure also relates to an integrated circuit and a method for detecting and compensating a transistor mismatch.

    摘要: An inverter type level shifter includes a first power supply voltage and a first ground voltage. A first inverter operates on the first power supply voltage and the first ground voltage to generate a first inverter output. The first inverter includes a first PMOS transistor having a drain coupled to a source of a blocking PMOS transistor and a first NMOS transistor having a drain coupled to a source of a blocking NMOS transistor. The level shifter further includes a second power supply voltage and a second ground voltage, and a second inverter coupled to the first inverter output and operates on the second power supply voltage and the second ground voltage. The blocking PMOS provides the required blocking on the event of the voltage spike in the second power supply voltage w.r.t the first power supply voltage and the blocking NMOS transistor provides the required blocking on the event of the voltage spike in the second ground voltage with respect to the first ground voltage.
