CHARGE SHARING CIRCUIT FOR FANOUT BUFFER

摘要

PURPOSE: A deskew circuit is provided to synchronize output signals from a fanout buffer and to remove danger related to a DC short caused by interconnection of all butter outputs. CONSTITUTION: A deskew circuit for synchronizing output signals from a fanout buffer includes one capacitive element coupled to each of the buffer's output nodes. Each capacitive element is also coupled to a common floating bus. The capacitive element is preferably a capacitor and the common floating bus is electrically isolated from any power rails. The bus may be formed of polysilicon or metal.
