Abstract
Repeater circuits including an inverting zipper repeater circuit and an inverting gain-enhanced repeater circuit are described.
Claims6
An inverting zipper repeater circuit comprising:
- a holding subcircuit coupled to receive an input signal and coupled to an output terminal;
- a delay chain of inverters coupled to receive said input signal;
- a first pulse generator comprising said delay chain inverters coupled to receive said input signal and for generating a rising output transition at said output terminal;
- a first latching circuit coupled an output node of said first pulse generator and to said output terminal, wherein said first pulse generator further comprises:
- a NOR gate with input nodes coupled to receive a signal from said delay chain of inverters and said input signal;
- and
- an NFET coupled to an output node of said NOR gate, said NFET coupled to said first latching circuit;
- a second pulse generator comprising said delay chain of inverters coupled to receive said input signal and for generating a falling output transition at said output terminal;
- and
- a second latching circuit coupled an output node of said second pulse generator and to said output terminal.
