    • A method and an apparatus for generating an output voltage for an integrated circuit having multiple power supplies. A comparator circuit is coupled to receive power supply lines from the power bus of an integrated circuit. The power supply lines received from the power bus have different voltages which may vary depending on the particular application. The comparator compares the voltage potentials present on the power supply lines and determines which power supply line carries a voltage having the highest potential. The comparator then generates a corresponding select signal wherein the value of the select signal indicates which particular power supply line has the highest voltage potential. A multiplexor is coupled to receive the select signal as well as the power supply lines from the power bus. Based on the value of the select signal, the multiplexor generates the output voltage in response to the select signal wherein the output voltage is substantially equal to the voltage potential of the power supply line having the highest voltage potential.

    • A method and apparatus for providing a clock noise filter are described. The clock noise filter uses a transparent latch which has a trigger input and a data input. The data input is coupled to receive an input clock signal to be filtered. The output of the latch is the filtered clock signal. The filtered clock signal has a logic state which corresponds to the logic state of the input clock signal when the trigger input has a first predetermined logic state, and the filtered clock signal is inhibited from changing logic state when the trigger input has a second predetermined logic state. A trigger circuit is provided which has an input coupled to the output of the latch and an output coupled to the trigger input of the latch. The trigger circuit outputs the second predetermined logic state to the trigger input of the latch for a time interval in response to a change in logic state of the filtered clock signal and outputs the first predetermined logic state after the time interval has expired. The trigger circuit uses a delay stage to provide a delayed filtered clock signal to a logic gate. The logic gate receives the filtered clock signal and the delayed filtered clock signal and outputs the first and second predetermined logic states to the trigger input of the latch, depending upon the relative logic states of the filtered clock signal and the delayed filtered clock signal.

    • A method and apparatus is presented where for transmitting data between two or more components. Data signals are sent in parallel with a clocking signal (e.g., on a bus) so that the data signal can be latched in relation to the clocking signal. For example, two clocking signals, out of phase from each other by 180 degrees, can be sent on bidirectional clocking signal lines and data signals can be sent on a data signal line, the component receiving the clocking and data signals can latch the data signals on each high-to-low transition of either of the two clocking signals. Using the method and apparatus of the present invention, skew problems seen with other bus systems can be reduced which leads to an increase in data transfer rates.
