Abstract: An output driver circuit is described which offers control and logic level adjustment for high speed data communications in a synchronous memory such as a synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM). Level adjustment is obtained by resistive division between a termination resistor and controllable impedances between an output node and VDD and VSS power supplies. Control functions include slew rate modification of the signal at the output node, by sequentially turning on or off output transistors in response to a transition in an input signal. Different schemes of weighting the output transistors obtain different characteristics of the output signal. Load matching circuitry and voltage level forcing circuitry are described for improving high frequency operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The bearing has elements which are rotatably arranged on an axle, and are respectively connected to the system unit and the keyboard unit. The elements are moved against spring power, to overcome a blocking element, and shift into defined positions. The computer comprises a system unit, a keyboard unit and a display unit, which are mounted to rotate about a common axle. The keyboard and system units are arranged externally, and are locked in a closed position and in an open position. The keyboard and system units are arranged at an angle of rotation of 180 degrees, with respect to the closed position. The display unit can be rotated and locked in a position of zero to 90 degrees, with respect to the system unit. The hinge bearing comprises an axle (33) connected to a first outer element, such as the keyboard, by the two sections (32,35). The axle is connected to a second element, such as the system unit, by two other sections (20,34). A middle element, such as the display screen, is connected on the remaining axle sections. A spring (41) acts on the bar section (35) and urges it against another section (34). The projection (37) on one section (34) acts against the face (40) of a the bar section, to resist the rotation of the hinge when fully opened, or when closed.
