  • Publication number: 20230216501
    Abstract: A semiconductor device according to the present disclosure includes: a first output terminal and a second output terminal; a first driver that has a first positive terminal coupled to the first output terminal and a first negative terminal coupled to the second output terminal, and outputs a differential signal corresponding to a first signal from the first positive terminal and the first negative terminal; and a second driver that has a second positive terminal coupled to the second output terminal and a second negative terminal coupled to the first output terminal, and outputs a differential signal corresponding to the first signal from the second positive terminal and the second negative terminal.

  • Patent number: 8648628
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a main driver is configured to shift the level of a differential signal. A bypass circuit is configured to bypass current flowing through the main driver in such a manner as to contain the change amount of current running through the main driver flowing from a high power supply potential to a low power supply potential within a fixed range upon transition between an operating state and a standby state of the main driver.

  • Publication number: 20130076412
    Abstract: When the comparison result signal indicates that the amplitude of the received data signal in synchronization with the data sampling clock signal is larger than the reference voltage, the lock detecting circuit determines that a lock condition occurs in which the data sampling clock signal locks the phase of the data of the received data signal, and outputs a lock flag signal.

  • Patent number: 6117380
    Abstract: Method and apparatus of manufacturing a synthetic resin tubular member having differently oriented inlet tube and outlet tube portions uses a pair of displaceable molding dies. One of the dies is rotatable relative to the other die. The molding dies have a core portion fitted to the tube end of one of the inlet and outlet tube portions and is slideable in a direction different from the direction in which the dies open and close. The method includes the steps of core insertion, die clamping, injection, die opening, core removal, ejection, and die rotation. Each time the molding die is rotated one step, a primary molding step, in which two molding halves of the tubular member are formed, and a secondary molding operation, in which the two molding halves are joined, are formed, so that a finished tubular member is obtained for each rotational movement of the molding dies.
