  • Patent number: 7190753
    Abstract: A data signal is detected and compared with a reference value. A displacement time is determined as a function of the difference between the reference value and the signal level of the data signal. The data signal is buffer-stored and output in a manner that is temporally delayed by the displacement time. Accordingly, the data signal has a predetermined value at a predetermined point in time after the buffer-storage. Consequently, the data signal waveform can be defined with respect to time. As a result, a precise signal waveform is prescribed, and time periods for detecting the data signal can be precisely defined.

  • Patent number: 7017067
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing a data exchange between a data source and a control device is provided. A synchronization request signal is first transmitted via the bus system to the data source, which then measures a signal propagation time from the control device to the data source. In the data source, a transmission delay time is set which is dependent on the measured signal propagation time. Data which are to be transmitted are delayed by the transmission delay time. A bus system for synchronizing a data exchange is also provided. After receiving a synchronization request signal, the data source measures signal propagation times and sets a transmission delay time in a transmission delay device on the basis of the measured signal propagation times.

  • Patent number: 6940115
    Abstract: A memory cell has a transistor, a capacitor, and a second transistor that is formed as a parasitic field-effect transistor. The parasitic field-effect transistor is provided in order to produce an electrically conductive connection between a voltage source and the inner electrode of the capacitor. Stabilization of a charge state of the capacitor is automatically achieved in this way.

  • Publication number: 20020018537
    Abstract: The invention relates to an interface with parallel transfer channels for transmission of a number of parallel data signals and, possibly, command signals between associated outer connections and associated circuit points in an electronic assembly. A synchronization signal connection carries a synchronization signal indicating the time base for the parallel-transmitted signals. Selected examples of the transfer channels each contain an individually controllable delay device for setting a time delay for a signal transmission in the relevant transfer channel. Furthermore, a control device is provided in order to sense, in each selected transfer channel, the actual value of the relative phase of the data signal with respect to the associated, accompanying synchronization signal, and to control each of the delay devices as a function of the respectively sensed actual value, in the sense of matching the actual value to a predetermined, common nominal value.
