Compensated offset voltage, low gain, high bandwidth, full swing, wide common mode range, CMOS differential voltage amplifier

摘要

An I/O bus interface cell includes a driver circuit having an input terminal fed by a logic signal and an output terminal to produce in response thereto a drive signal having selectable rise and fall time characteristics in accordance with a reference voltage provided to the driver. The I/O cell also includes a receiver circuit having an input terminal coupled to said output terminal of said driver with the receiver disposed to latch an unresolved, unamplified received signal prior to resolving the state of the signal. The I/O cell further includes a termination circuit having a terminal connected to the output of said driver, and having a selectable impedance characteristic at said terminal, with said selectable impedance being in accordance with a reference voltage provided to an input of said termination circuit. Preferably, the I/O cell the driver, receiver and termination circuits are fabricated on a common semiconductor substrate.
