Optical communication systems are rapidly spread following increases in data traffic. In this work, a 32-Gb/s inductorless output buffer circuit with adjustable pre-emphasis is proposed. The proposed circuit consists of an output buffer circuit and an emphasis circuit. The emphasis circuit emphasizes the high frequency components and adds the characteristics of the output buffer circuit. We proposed a design method using a small-signal equivalent-circuit model and designed the compensation characteristics with a 65-nm CMOS process in detail using HSPICE simulation. We also realized adjustable emphasis characteristics by controlling the voltage. To confirm the advantages of the proposed circuit and the design method, we fabricated an output buffer IC with adjustable pre-emphasis. We measured the jitter and eye height with a 32-Gb/s input using the IC. Measurement results of double-emphasis showed that the jitter was 14% lower, and the eye height was 59% larger than single-emphasis, indicating that our proposed configuration can be applied to the design of an output buffer circuit for higher operation speed.

The proposed output buffer is presented for driving large-size LCD panels. This output buffer is designed by adding some simple circuitry to the conventional two-stage operational amplifier. The proposed circuit is simulated in a high-voltage 0.35um CMOS process with HSPICE. The simulated result is more improved settling time than that of conventional one.

This paper considers a discrete-time buffer system with session-based arrivals, an infinite storage capacity and one unreliable output line. There are multiple different types of sessions and the output line is governed by a finite state Markov chain. Based on a generating functions approach, we obtain an exact expression for the mean buffer content.

One major drawback of conventional output buffered switches is that the speed of writing cells into output buffer should be N times faster than input link speed. This paper proposes a new output buffer switch that divides one output buffer into several buffers and virtually shares the divided buffers by using a distributor. The proposed switch makes it possible to reduce the memory speed. The proposed switch is evaluated in terms of the average cell latency compared with the input buffered switches which use the arbitration alogorithms, i.e., iSLIP or wrapped wave front arbiter(WWFA).

Mini-LVDS has been widely used for high speed data transmission because it provides low EMI and high bandwidth for display driver. In this paper, a Mini-LVDS output buffer with LTPS TFT process is presented which provides sufficient performance in the presence of large variation in the threshold voltage and mobility and kink effect.

A low power SDRAM output buffer with reduced power line noise and feedthrough current is presented. In multi I/O SDRAM output buffer, feedthrough current as well as the corresponding power dissipation are reduced utilizing proposed undershoot protection circuits. Ground bounce is minimized by the pull down driver using intelligent feedback scheme. Ground bounce noise is reduced by 66.3% and instantaneous and average power are reduced by 27.5% and 11.4%, respectively.

In this paper, an efficient threshold-based filtering (TF) buffer management scheme is proposed. The TF is capable of minimizing the overall loss performance and improving the fairness of buffer usage in a shared buffer packet switch. The TF consists of two mechanisms. One mechanism is to classify the output ports as sctive or inactive by comparing their queue lengths with a dedicated buffer allocation factor. The other mechanism is to filter the arrival packets of inactive output ports when the total queue length exceeds a threshold value. A theoretical queuing model of TF is formulated and resolved for the overall packet loss probability. Computer simulations are used to compare the overall loss performance of TF, dynamic threshold (DT), static threshold (ST) and pushout (PO). We find that TF scheme is more robust against dynamic traffic variations than DT and ST. Also, although the over-all loss performance between TF and PO are close to each other, the implementation of TF is much simpler than the PO.

This paper presents a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator using ultra-low output impedance buffer for frequency compensation. The proposed buffer achieves ultra low output impedance with dual shunt feedback loops, which makes it possible to improve load and line regulations as well as frequency compensation for low voltage applications. A reference control scheme for programmable output voltage of the LDO linear regulator is presented. The designed LDO linear regulator works under the input voltage of 2.5~4.5V and provides up to 300mA load current for an output voltage range of 0.6~3.3V.

An input-output buffering switch operates in either of tow different cell loss modes; Backpressure mode and Queueloss mode. In the previous studies, the Backpressrue mode is more effective at low traffic loads, and the Queueloss mode performs better at high traffic. We propose a new operation mode, called Hybrid mode, which adopts the advantages of he Backpressure and the Queueloss mode. Backpressure and Queueloss modes are distinguished from whether a cell loss occurs at the output buffer or not when output buffer overflows, irrespective of input buffer status. In order to simply combine Backpressure and Queueloss mode, the change of input traffic load must be measured. However, in the Hybrid mode, simply both of the input and output buffer overflow and checked out to determine the cell discard. The performance of the Hybrid mode is compared with those of the Backpressure and the Queueloss mode under random and bursty traffic. This paper show that the Hybrid mode always gives the best performance results for most ranges of load values.

This study proposes a performance model of a shared bus multi-processor system and analyzes the effect of input/output types on system performance and overload of shared resources. This system performance model reflects the memory reference time in relation to the effect of input/output types on shared resources and the input/output processing time in relation to the input/output processor, disk buffer, and device standby places. In addition, it demonstrates the contribution of input/output types to system performance for comprehensive analysis of system performance. As the concept of workload in the probability theory and the presented model are utilized, the result of operating and analyzing the model in various conditions of processor capability, cache miss ratio, page fault ratio, disk buffer hit ratio (input/output processor and controller), memory access time, and input/output block size. A simulation is conducted to verify the analysis result.
