Abstract

See full text

Systems, methods, circuits, and devices for managing data transfers in semiconductor devices are provided. In one aspect, an integrated circuit includes: a first interface for receiving higher-speed-type data, a second interface for receiving lower-speed-type data, a first logic circuit coupled to the first interface, a second logic circuit coupled to the second interface, and a driving circuit separately coupled to the first logic circuit and the second logic circuit. The first data interface, the first logic circuit, and the driving circuit are arranged in series to form a first data path for transferring the higher-speed-type data with a first speed. The second data interface, the second logic circuit, and the driving circuit are arranged in series to form a second data path for transferring the lower-speed-type data with a second speed. The first speed is higher the second speed.
