Abstract:
A differential output structure, comprising:an input line including: a first path having an input end for receiving an input signal, the first path also having an output end and including at least one driving element, and a second path having an input end and operably coupled to the input end of the first path for receiving the input signal, the second path also having an output end; an output driver, operably coupled to the output ends of the first and second paths, that is configured to provide differential outputs; and a bi-directional sync circuit, operably coupled between the first and second paths, which is configured to synchronize the speed of signals traveling on the two paths to arrive at the output driver by dynamically synchronizing the two paths bi-directionally through the sync circuit; the bi-directional sync circuit having a single connection to the first path and a single connection to the second path and being sized in accordance with relative connection positions in the first and second paths.
