  • Sense amplifiers having gain control circuits therein that inhibit signal oscillations
    Patent number: 6617885
    Abstract: Integrated circuit memory devices according to the present invention include a sense amplifier having a pair of differential input signal lines, a pair of differential output signal lines, and a current amplifier. The current amplifier has an input stage electrically coupled to the pair of differential input signal lines and an output stage electrically coupled to the pair of differential output signal lines. The input stage and/or the output stage are responsive to a first control signal that reduces a gain of the current amplifier when the first control signal is asserted.
    Type: Grant

  • Delay compensation circuit
    Patent number: 5191245
    Abstract: A delay compensation circuit compensates a signal delay between a signal driver and receiver when transmitting a digital signal through a transmission line. The circuit includes an inverter connected in parallel with the transmission line for inverting the digital signal, and pull-down device connected in parallel with the inverter for compensating a fall time of the digital signal according to an output of the inverter.
