Abstract

A method of communicating between a memory and circuitry on an integrated circuit is disclosed. The method comprises converting a first input signal from the memory to a first differential output signal dependent upon the first input signal. The first input signal is a full swing signal. The first differential output signal is propagated to the circuitry using a pair of first signal lines. Finally, at the circuitry, the first differential output signal is converted into a first received signal, which is a full swing signal.
