Abstract:
A phase interpolator includes a first circuit to generate a first signal (PHINO) having a first phase delay and a second signal (PHINl) having a second phase delay and a phase mixer (105). The phase mixer (105) is coupled to receive the first and second signals from the first circuit. The phase mixer (105) includes multiple current drivers (510) each including a current driver input coupled to selectively delay one of the first or second signals and a current driver output coupled to output a phase delayed signal. The current driver outputs (01) of the current drivers (510) are coupled together to combine the phase delayed signals from the current drivers to generate an output phase delayed signal having a phase interpolated from the first (PHINO) and second signals.

Abstract:
Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for a circuit to shift a voltage level. The circuit may include a first inverter that includes a first transistor coupled to pass a low voltage signal and a second inverter coupled to receive the low voltage signal. The circuit may further include a second transistor coupled to receive the low voltage signal from the second inverter to serve as a feedback device and produce a high voltage signal. In embodiments, the first transistor conducts asymmetrically to prevent crossover of the high voltage signal into the low voltage domain. A low voltage memory array is also described. In embodiments, the circuit to shift a voltage level may assist communication between a logic component including the low voltage memory array of a low voltage domain and a logic component of a high voltage domain. Additional embodiments may also be described.
Abstract:
Tunneling field effect transistors (TFETs) including a variable bandgap channel are described. In some embodiments, one or more bandgap characteristics of the variable bandgap channel may be dynamically altered by at least one of the application or withdrawal of a force, such as a voltage or electric field. In some embodiments the variable bandgap channel may be configured to modulate from an ON to an OFF state and vice versa in response to the application and/or withdrawal of a force. The variable bandgap channel may exhibit a bandgap that is smaller in the ON state than in the OFF state. As a result, the TFETs may exhibit one or more of relatively high on current, relatively low off current, and sub-threshold swing below 60 mV/decade.
