    • Temperatures on a chip, including particular regions of a chip are monitored by sensing changes in sub-threshold conduction of a field effect transistor (FET) integrated on the chip due to changes in charge carrier population distribution with temperature therein. Such changes in sub-threshold current with temperature are preferably detected using a current mirror and two FETs with different channel geometry and slightly different gate voltages such that the currents are equal at a specific design temperature. The slightly different gate voltages are conveniently provided by a low current voltage divider with or without on-chip voltage regulation in which resistor ratios can be accurately and repeatably obtained. Variations from that temperature thus yield large current differences and substantial signal swing which improve noise immunity. Hysteresis can be applied to the output (or amplified output) of the current mirror to obtain bistable thermostat-like action. Variant applications provide sensing at plural chip locations (e.g. for sensing temperature gradients and temperatures of autonomously operating portions of the chip) and a plurality of temperatures on the chip. Temperatures thus monitored control implementation of performance enhancing algorithms in regard to the chip.
    • 通过感测集成在芯片上的场效应晶体管(FET)的亚阈值传导的变化,由于载流子群体分布随温度的变化而监测芯片上包括芯片的特定区域的温度。 亚阈值电流随温度的这种变化优选使用电流镜和具有不同通道几何形状和略微不同的栅极电压的两个FET来检测,使得电流在特定设计温度下是相等的。 通过具有或不具有片内电压调节的低电流分压器可以方便地提供略微不同的栅极电压,其中可以精确和重复地获得电阻器比率。 因此,该温度的变化产生大的电流差异和显着的信号摆动,这提高了抗噪声性。 迟滞可应用于电流镜的输出(或放大输出),以获得双稳态恒温器状作用。 变体应用提供在多个芯片位置处的感测(例如用于感测芯片的自主操作部分的温度梯度和温度)以及芯片上的多个温度。 因此监控的温度控制了关于芯片的性能增强算法的实现。

    • A constant-current generator circuit includes an output circuit and a control circuit, with the control circuit producing a control voltage to define a reference current through the output circuit. An important feature is that the control circuit uses a pair of transistors having different threshold voltages in generating the control voltage. The circuit is formed using CMOS technology, and the difference in threshold voltage may be produced by doping the polysilicon gate of an N-channel or P-channel field effect transistor. The step of doping to produce the change in threshold voltage is compatible with the standard processing for the CMOS device. In a preferred embodiment, the control circuit uses two pairs of control transistors, each pair having differing thresholds. One pair is P-channel and the other N-channel. These pairs are in parallel, the P-channel pair connected to the positive supply and the N-channel pair to the negative supply or ground. Each pair is connected in a cascode arrangement, producing two control voltages for two symmetrical output transistors in the output circuit, one N-channel and one P-channel.

    • This is a detector system comprised of a differential driver circuit, a driver output stage and splitter circuit and a multiplexor. The driver circuit employs a bridge circuit that converts input logic voltages to lower voltage differential outputs by utilizing a pair of current switch transistors coupled to the bridge circuit. The bridge circuit is comprised of cross coupled transistors whose inputs are coupled to matched true and complement input logic voltages that swing between zero volts and the power supply voltage. The bridge transistors convert the differential logic input voltage swings to smaller values that are compatible with driving the splitter and multiplexor circuits coupled thereto. The driver circuit and the splitter circuit share the driver output transistors which are arranged in parallel pairs. These pairs are coupled to respective output lines whose physical state is to be determined and to the multiplexor which is an emitter coupled switch coupled to emitter follower transistors which are, in turn, connected to respective output lines so that the output voltage of the output transistors can be used to determine if the output lines are open.

    • A phase lock logic system is provided for (i) determining differences in phase and frequency of a received composite clock and data signal with respect to a local clock signal and (ii) providing control signals to enable accurate sampling and reconstruction of the received data. The system includes a delay element which outputs a plurality of phase-delayed signals each being incrementally shifted in phase from the local clock signal. A sorting circuit receives the phase-delayed local clock signals and the incoming composite signal, defines a number of time intervals in each cycle of the local clock signal equal to the number of phase-delayed local clock signals, and sorts positive and negative going transitions in the received composite signal into the defined time intervals. Counters indicate the number of transitions occurring during a selected time interval. A logic circuit reads the counters, determines the differences in frequency and phase of the received composite signal with respect to the local clock signal, and outputs first and second control signals. A barrel shifter responsive to the first control signal selects which of the counters counts the number of transitions occurring in a given time interval. A multiplexer responsive to the first and second control signals extracts the phase-delayed local clock signal which most closely approximates the phase and frequency of the received composite signal. A regenerator compares the extracted signal to the received composite signal and outputs regenerated data.
