ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit containing a communication channel is described. This communication channel includes: a transmit circuit configured to transmit signals; a link coupled to an output of the transmit circuit; a receive circuit coupled to the link; and a clamping circuit coupled to the link. Note that the transmit circuit is capacitively coupled to the receive circuit via the link. Furthermore, the clamping circuit is configured to compensate for leakage current on the link by maintaining a voltage on the link corresponding to a logical “1” or a logical “0.” This voltage is based on a history of the transmitted signals.
