CA 2164523

An apparatus for reducing transmis- son delay tones when transmitting differen- tial signals in an integrated circuit along long interconnect lines (10, 11) includes a current mode line driver which converts the differ- ential signal to be transmitted into a signal that has a relatively low peak-to-peak volt- age and large differential current changes. A receiver responsive to differential current changes converts the signal back into an out- put differential signal having peak-to-peak voltages adaptable to subsequent logic stages. A feedback circuit (Q5, Q6) coupled to the interconnect lines (10, 11) and the receiver functions to clamp the interconnect lines (10, 11) to a predetermined voltage while allow- ing the output differential signal to have peak-to-peak voltages greater than the pre- determined voltage.

Appareil permettant de réduire les temps d'attente de transmission lors de l'émission de signaux différentiels qui circulent dans un circuti intégré le long de longues lignes d'interconnexion (10, 11), ledit appareil comprenant un excitateur de ligne en mode courant qui convertit le signal différentiel à envoyer en un signal ayant une tension crête-à-crête relativement faible et de grandes variations du courant différentiel. Un récepteur qui réagit aux variations du courant différentiel reconvertit le signal en un signal différentiel de sortie dont les tensions crête-à-crête peuvent s'adapter à des états logiques subséquents. Un circuit de retour (Q5, Q6) couplé aux lignes d'interconnexion (10, 11) et au récepteur assure le verrouillage des lignes d'interconnexion (10, 11) à une tension prédéterminée, tout en autorisant le signal différentiel de sortie à avoir des tensions crête-à-crête supérieures à la tension prédéterminée.
