POWER SUPPLY SCHEME FOR SMALL SWING DATA LINE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

A circuit includes a plurality of buffers configured to provide data on a corresponding signal line. Each of the plurality of buffers may be coupled to a power supply voltage through a corresponding diode. A plurality of receiving circuits may be coupled to receive the data provided on a corresponding one of the plurality of signal lines. The plurality of receiving circuits may be directly powered by the power supply voltage.
