    Abstract: The output impedance of an amplifier is substantially matched to an input impedance of a receiver using a buffer circuit. The buffer circuit includes a primary transistor and a secondary transistor. A first back gate terminal of the primary transistor is coupled to a second back gate terminal of the secondary transistor and the primary transistor is configured to have an output for the buffer circuit. An input signal is received from the amplifier at a gate terminal of the secondary transistor. The first back gate terminal of the primary transistor is responsively driven independently from the output of the buffer circuit to effectively adjust a transconductance of the primary transistor and substantially match an output impedance of the amplifier with an input impedance of the receiver.

    Abstract: An amplifier circuit includes a first amplifying section for amplifying a signal, and a second amplifying section for amplifying the signal amplified by the first amplifying section. A capacitive element connects the output of the first amplifying section to the input of the second amplifying section. When power is applied to the amplifier circuit, a bypass circuit causes the electric current flowing from a first power supply toward the input of the second amplifying section through the first amplifying section and the capacitive element to be bypassed to a second power supply.

    Abstract: Offset voltages developed on floating nodes on inputs to high-performance amplifiers that are DC isolated from the data signals input to amplifiers are cancelled by connecting a highly resistive element between the input node and a predetermined potential, particularly useful in proximity communication systems in which two chips are connected through capacitive or inductive coupling circuits formed jointly in the two chips. The resistive element may be an off MOS transistor connected between the node and a desired bias voltage or a MOS transistor with its gate and drain connected to the potential. Multiple bias voltages may be distributed to all receivers and locally selected by a multiplexer for application to one or two input nodes of the receiver. The receiver output can also serve as a predetermined potential when the resistive element has a long time constant compared to the data rate or the resistive element is non-linear.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that biases a floating node within an integrated circuit. During operation, the system first identifies the floating node within the integrated circuit to be biased. The system then determines a desired bias voltage. Next, the system couples a low-power bias source to the floating node to supply the desired bias voltage, wherein the floating node is biased without stopping data transmission through the floating node during biasing.
