Abstract:
Described are amplifiers that facilitate high-speed communication with calibrated drive strength and tennination impedance. Drivers and termination elements can be divided into a number N of parallel portions, one or more of which can be updated while signals (e. g, clock or data) are transmitted. Some embodiments identify elements in a high-impedance state by examining incoming signals.
Described are amplifiers that facilitate high-speed communication with calibrated drive strength and termination impedance. Drivers and termination elements can be divided into a number N of parallel portions, one or more of which can be disabled and updated without interfering with signal (e. g. , clock or data) transmission. Some embodiments identify inactive elements by examining incoming signals.

Abstract:
The invention provides a dynamic domino circuit that is robust under noisy condition. The invention also provides a dynamic adder that contains nodes that can produce true dynamic inversion without compromising area or speed. The invention further improves speed of the adders by cutting the latch delay while not requiring complex clocking.
An integrated circuit (IC) memory controller is disclosed. The memory controller includes a receiver to receive a strobe signal and provide an internal strobe signal. An adjustable delay circuit delays an enable signal to generate a delayed enable signal. A gate circuit generates a gated strobe signal using the delayed enable signal that masks transitions of the internal strobe signal that occur prior to a valid region of the internal strobe signal. A sample circuit samples data using the gated strobe signal.
