A semiconductor die includes a processing circuit, a first bond pad, and a second bond pad. The first bond pad is electrically connected to a first node of the processing circuit and a first bond wire. The second bond pad is electrically connected to a second node of the processing circuit and a second bond wire. The first bond wire and the second bond wire are magnetically coupled to form a first bond wire T-coil circuit with equivalent negative inductance.

Semiconductor die with peculiar bond pad arrangement for leveraging mutual inductance between bond wires to realize bond wire T-coil circuit with equivalent negative inductance

A dummy signal generation circuit includes a consecutive identical digit (CID) detection circuit and a dummy transition circuit. The CID detection circuit detects occurrence of N CIDs in serial data, and sets a transition enable window in response to each sequence of N CIDs in the serial data, where N is a positive integer not smaller than 3. The dummy transition circuit generates a dummy signal that has transitions constrained to occur within transition enable windows set by the CID detection circuit.

Apparatus and method for generating dummy signal that has transitions constrained to occur within transition enable windows set by detection of more than two consecutive identical digits in serial data

An output driver includes a first pre-driver circuit, a first driver circuit, a second pre-driver circuit, a second driver circuit, and a feedback network. The first pre-driver circuit pre-drives a first data input signal to generate a first pre-driving output signal. The first driver circuit drives the first pre-driving output signal to generate a first data output signal. The second pre-driver circuit pre-drives a second data input signal to generate a second pre-driving output signal, wherein the first data input signal and the second data input signal are a differential input of the output driver. The second driver circuit drives the second pre-driving output signal to generate a second data output signal. The feedback network performs a latching operation upon the first pre-driving output signal and the second pre-driving output signal according to the first data output signal and the second data output signal.
