Self-Adjusting Impedance Matching Driver

View page
US Patent:
51343118, Jul 28, 1992
Filed:
Jun 7, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/534406
Inventors:
Alice I. Biber - Needham MA
Douglas W. Stout - Milton VT
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H03K 301
H03K 1716
H03K 5159
US Classification:
307270
Abstract:
A self-adjusting impedance matching driver for a digital circuit. The driver has both a pull-up gate to VDD and a pull-down gate to ground. An array of gates is provided in parallel with each of the pull-up gate and the pull-down gate, with any one or more of such gates being selectively enabled in response to circuit means that monitors the impedance match between the output of the driver and the network it drives. By enabling selectively such gates, any impedance mismatch can be minimized. The selective enablement may be done only at power up, and thereafter only if the driven network is changed substantially.
Alice I Biber from Needham, MA, age ~57 Get Report
