Abstract:
An integrated circuit device includes a read strobe signal transmitter including a main output drive circuit and a victim output drive circuit having an output terminal electrically coupled to an output terminal of the main output drive circuit. The read strobe signal transmitter is configured to: (i) generate a periodic active read strobe signal during a read time interval, in response to a pair of periodic drive signals, which are 180° out-of-phase relative to each other during the read time interval, and (ii) generate a disabled read strobe signal at a fixed logic level during a non-read time interval, in response to an active victim control signal. The main output drive circuit is responsive to the pair of periodic drive signals during the read time interval, and the victim output drive circuit is responsive to the active victim control signal during the non-read time interval.
