Abstract:
An output circuit, comprising:a first circuit having: a first driver having a data input coupled to receive a first data, a control input coupled to receive a block control signal, and an output; and a second driver having a data input coupled to receive a global bus data, an inverted control input coupled to receive the block control signal, and an output, the output of the second driver coupled to the data input of the first driver, the data input of the second driver coupled to the output of the first driver, the control input of the first driver coupled to the inverted control input of the second driver; and a second circuit coupled to receive a second data, the block control signal, and the global bus data, wherein one of the first and second data is received and transferred in a first direction by one of the first and second circuits while the global bus data is, concurrently, received and transferred in a reverse direction by one of the first and second circuits.
