    摘要: Examples described herein generally relate to integrated circuits that include a latch-based level shifter circuit with self-biasing. In an example, an integrated circuit includes first and second latches and an output stage circuit. Each of the first and second latches includes a bias circuit electrically connected to a respective latch node and configured to provide a bias voltage at the respective latch node, which is electrically coupled to a signal input node. The output stage circuit has first and second input nodes electrically connected to first and second output nodes of the first and second latches, respectively, and a third output node. The output stage circuit is configured to responsively pull up and pull down a voltage of the third output node in response to respective voltages of the first and second input nodes.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is an optical filter configured for wavelength division and multiplexing capable of transmitting and receiving signals. The optical filter includes an optical waveguide configured to receive at an input multiple signals with different wavelengths. The optical filter includes a plurality of channels coupled at different locations along a length of the optical waveguide. Each of the plurality of channels is configured to transmit a respective one of the multiple signals. A number of ring filter stages in a first channel of the plurality of channels that is closer to the input of the optical waveguide is greater than a second channel in the plurality of channels further away from the input of the optical waveguide.

    摘要: An apparatus relating to on-chip noise measurement is disclosed. In such an apparatus, an asynchronous comparator receives a first input and a second input to provide a digital output. A threshold voltage generator receives a first periodic signal and a second periodic signal to provide the second input as an analog voltage responsive to the first and second periodic signals. A sampling circuit is coupled to receive the digital output signal and a third periodic signal. The sampling circuit is configured to sample the digital output signal using the third periodic signal to provide a sampled signal of the digital output signal. A processor is coupled to receive a delay signal and the sampled signal to determine a noise measurement signal for the first input signal.

The inductive circuit may include an L output terminal to output an output signal, a P coil coupled between the P output terminal and the L output terminal, and an N coil coupled between the N output terminal and the L output terminal. The P coil may be configured to hide a parasitic capacitance associated with the PMOS pull-up circuit during a falling edge transition of the received data signal, and the N coil may be configured to hide a parasitic capacitance associated with the NMOS pull-down circuit during a rising edge transition of the received data signal.

    摘要: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and circuit for clock phase generation are disclosed. The circuit includes an injection locked oscillator, a loop controller, and a phase interpolator. The injection locked oscillator includes an input for receiving an injected clock signal and an output for forwarding a set of fixed clock phases. The loop controller includes an input for receiving a phase separation error of the fixed clock phases and an output for forwarding a supply voltage derived from the phase separation error. The supply voltage matches the free running frequency of the injection locked oscillator to a frequency of the injected clock signal. The phase interpolator includes an input for receiving the set of fixed clock phases directly from the injection locked oscillator, an input for receiving the supply voltage from the loop controller, and an output for forwarding an arbitrary clock phase.
