Patent
Method of combining gate array and standard cell circuits on a common semiconductor chip
Elliot L Gould,Douglas W. Kemerer,Lance A Mcallister,Ronald A. Piro,Guy R Richardson,Deborah A Wellburn +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and semiconductor structure for intermixing circuits of two or more different cell classes on a common chip or substrate with minimum gound rule separation between adjacent cells of different classes.
Patent
Cmos off chip driver circuit
TL;DR: In this article, a CMOS off-chip driver circuit with a pull-up transistor and an N-channel pull-down transistor is presented, where a first P-channel field effect transistor is connected between the output terminal and the gate electrode of the pull up transistor through a transmission gate.
Patent
Low-power, tristate, off-chip driver circuit
Allen R. Carl,Ronald A. Piro +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a push-pull output with a P-channel pull-up and an N-channel N-down is used to prevent the transition from high-tolow or low-to-high from being too rapid, which could cause noise due to inductance of the package leads.
Patent
Off-chip drivers
TL;DR: In this paper, a CMOS off-chip driver circuit is provided which includes a P-channel pull up transistor (12) and an N-Channel pull down transistor (14) serially arranged between a first voltage source (Vdd) having a given magnitude and ground with the common point between the transistors forming a output terminal (Vout) to which is connected a circuit (28) including a second voltage source having a supply voltage of a magnitude significantly greater than that of the given magnitude.
Patent
Embedded photon emission calibration (EPEC)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method to calculate the current density of the at least one functional device in an integrated circuit having at least 1 functional device, which is based on a comparison with the calculated current density.
