The proposed circuit can be applied to bi-directional signal communication without adding further hardware and is extremely useful for sub-quarter micron ULSIs with scaled resistive interconnections.","PeriodicalId":256846,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Technical Papers., Symposium on VLSI Circuits.","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115962519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
