Abstract
The on-chip data transmission controller comprises a data comparison unit for comparing current data with previous data and issuing an inversion flag if the number of data bits phase-transited is larger than a preset number, a first data inversion unit for inverting a phase of the current data when the inversion flag is activated and providing inverted data onto a data bus, and a second data inversion unit for inverting a phase of the data transmitted via the data bus when the inversion flag is activated and outputting inverted data. Through this controller, an on-chip noise that largely occurs as the number of data to be transmitted increases can be reduced, by decreasing transition number of data inputted via the GIO line, in case of using a multi step pre-patch structure to improve an operation speed of a memory device.
