SYSTEMS AND TECHNIQUES FOR TIMING MISMATCH REDUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17895826 titled 'SYSTEMS AND TECHNIQUES FOR TIMING MISMATCH REDUCTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device that includes a clock adjustment circuit to offset conditions affecting propagation delay of a clock signal in a memory device. The device comprises a differential amplifier, an inverter coupled to a first output of the differential amplifier, and a swing oscillator driver coupled to a second output of the inverter and an input of the differential amplifier. The swing oscillator driver includes a series of transistors, a signal path coupled to at least a first transistor of the series of transistors, and a strength control circuit coupled to the signal path to adjust the voltage of the signal.

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and techniques to offset conditions affecting propagation delay of a clock signal in a memory device. These include a device that includes a clock adjustment circuit, comprising a differential amplifier, an inverter coupled to a first output of the differential amplifier, and a swing oscillator driver coupled to a second output of the inverter and an input of the differential amplifier. The swing oscillator driver includes a series of transistors, a signal path coupled to at least a first transistor of the series of transistors, wherein the signal path when in operation transmits a signal having a first voltage, and a strength control circuit coupled to the signal path, wherein the strength control circuit when in operation adjusts the first voltage of the signal to a second voltage.
