Abstract

See full text

A bus contention detection circuit includes a delay unit having an input terminal for receiving an output signal of an I/O driver, a duty cycle adjustment unit connected to the delay unit, and a comparison unit having a first input terminal for receiving the output signal, a second terminal for receiving a reference voltage, and an enable terminal for receiving an enable signal of the duty cycle adjustment unit. The enable signal has a rising edge that is delayed relative to a rising edge of the output signal and a falling edge that is aligned with a falling edge of the output signal. The comparison unit compares a voltage level of the output signal with the reference voltage when the enable signal is in a stable voltage state and determine a bus condition in response to a comparison result.
