Title: Ground-referenced single-ended memory interconnect

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1531816

A system is provided for transmitting signals. The system includes a ground-referenced single-ended signaling (GRS) driver circuit that is configured to pre-charge a first capacitor to store a first charge between a first output node and a first reference node based on a first input data signal during a first pre-charge phase and drive an output signal relative to a ground network based on the first charge during a first drive phase. A control circuit is configured to generate a first set of control signals based on the first input data signal and a first clock signal, where the first set of control signals causes the first GRS driver circuit to operate in either the first pre-charge phase or in the first drive phase.
