Abstract
Memories for receiving or transmitting voltage signals might include an input or output buffer including a first stage having first and second inputs and configured to generate a current sink and source at its first and second outputs responsive to a voltage difference between its first and second inputs, and a second stage having a first input connected to the first output of the first stage, a second input connected to the second output of the first stage, a first voltage signal node connected to its first input through a first resistance, and a second voltage signal node connected to its second input through a second resistance, wherein a first inverter is connected in parallel with the first resistance, a second inverter is connected in parallel with the second resistance, and a pair of cross-coupled inverters are connected between the first voltage signal node and the second voltage signal node.
