摘要:
Chip identification pads for identification of integrated circuits in an assembly. In one example embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) assembly includes a controller, a plurality of ICs, a shared communication bus connecting the controller to the plurality of ICs and configured to enable communication between the controller and each of the plurality of ICs, and a set of one or more chip identification pads formed on each IC. Each set of chip identification pads has an electrical connection pattern. The electrical connection pattern of each set is distinct from the electrical connection pattern on every other set. Each distinct electrical connection pattern represents a unique identifier of the corresponding IC thereby enabling the controller to distinguish between the ICs.

An amplifier stage or circuit for providing pre-emphasis. The circuit includes a first input node configured to receive a first data signal and a second input node configured to receive a second data. The circuit also includes an adjustable delay stage configured to at least partially produce a delay in the first and/or second data signals to thereby generate a first delayed signal and/or second delayed signal. The circuit additionally includes a pulse generation stage configured to generate a first pulse signal from the first delayed signal and the first data signal and/or produce a second pulse signal from the second delayed signal and the second data signal. The circuit further includes a first output node configured to output the first pulse signal and a second output node configured to output the second pulse signal.

An amplifier stage or circuit for providing cross-point adjustment. The circuit may include a first input node configured to receive a first data signal and a second input node configured to receive a second data signal that is complementary of the first data signal. The circuit also includes a programmable first stage having a first node coupled to the first input node and a second node coupled to the second input node that is configured to adjust an amount of current provided to the first and second data signals to create a signal offset. The circuit further includes a second stage having a first node coupled to a third node of the programmable first stage and a second node coupled to a fourth node of the programmable first stage configured to provide the signal offset at a third and fourth node of the second stage to adjust the cross-point of the first and second signals.

A circuit may include an input node configured to receive a signal and an output node configured to be coupled to a load. The circuit may also include a first circuit coupled between the input node and the output node. The first circuit may be configured to receive the signal and to drive the signal on the output node at a first voltage. The circuit may also include an active device coupled to the output node and a second circuit coupled to the active device and the input node. The second circuit may be configured to receive the signal and to drive the signal to the active device at a second voltage that is approximately equal to the first voltage.
