Latest Patents
Bergman holds a patent for "Precision on-chip transmission line termination." This patent describes methods and apparatus for providing precision on-chip termination of transmission lines. The technology enables the termination of transmission lines using on-chip resistors configured into networks, which have resistances related to the resistance of an external reference resistor. The external reference resistor is utilized to configure an on-chip reference resistor network, ensuring that it has a resistance related to the external reference resistor. Termination resistor networks are then configured to maintain a predetermined relationship to the resistance of the on-chip reference resistor network. In one embodiment, the resistance of each termination resistor network is substantially the same as the characteristic impedances of each transmission line.
