摘要： A circuit device having a transistor-based switch topology that substantially eliminates the possibility of latchup of the device. A series-connected low voltage threshold (LVT) N-channel transistor and a pull-up resistor are coupled across a switching (P-channel) transistor so that an integral body connection is provided for the switching transistor, which connects the body of the switching transistor to a node between the pull-up resistor and source terminal of the LVT transistor. The LVT transistor is connected with its gate and drain terminal connected to the output terminal of the switching transistor. The resistor is connected at its other end to the power supply side terminal of the switching transistor. The addition of these components in the particular configuration allows the body connection of the switching transistor to be automatically switched to the highest potential diffusion node.

摘要： A method a low cost and production-integrable technique for providing a signal diagram. The data signal is edge-detected and asynchronoulsy sampled (or alternatively a clock signal is latched). The data signal or a second signal is compared to a settable threshold voltage and sampled. The edge and comparison data are folded according to a swept timebase tofind a minimum jitter period. The crossing of the signal diagram edges is determined from a peak of a histogram of the folded edge data. A histogram of ratios of the sample values versus displacement from the position of the crossing location is generated for each threshold voltage. The technique is repeated over a range of settable threshold voltages. Then, the ratio counts are differentiated across the histograms with respect to threshold voltage, from which a signal diagram is populated.

摘要： A sequence of K voltage samples of a transmitted data signal is generated by sampling, digitizing, and storing voltage samples of the data signal with an imbedded sample clock on an IC having an unknown period TS. The K voltage samples are plotted against a time base of K sequential times TB[K] normalized so all samples fall within one cycle of the data clock used to generate the data signal or a unit time of 1. The time base is generated by estimating the sample clock period TSE to be some multiple of 1/P where P is greater than K. Eye diagrams are analyzed for time jitter wherein only the minimum value of jitter is saved. TSE is incremented by 1/P until TS is greater than one half the data clock period. The eye diagram at the TSE with the minimum time jitter is used to analyze the data channels.
