ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit memory device that include an input receiver, an output driver, and a capacitive coupling element. The capacitive coupling element includes a first capacitor electrode and a second capacitor electrode. The first capacitor electrode is coupled to the input receiver and the output driver, an the second capacitor electrode couples to an external signal line. Delay modulated data is received by the input receiver from the external signal line via the capacitive coupling element.
