As semiconductor devices operate at increasingly faster speeds, accurately transmitting signals while minimizing power consumption becomes increasingly difficult.
Innovation Solution
A semiconductor system comprising a first and second semiconductor device, where the first device generates a driving force control signal to drive an original signal and outputs it as an external transmission signal, and the second device receives this signal to generate restoration signals, which are then fed back to adjust the driving force or gain for improved signal transmission.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If semiconductor devices operate at faster speeds, then processing capability is improved, but signal transmission accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the receiving device compares the received signal with the original signal and generates a driving force control signal that is fed back to the transmitting device. This feedback loop enables the transmitting device to adjust its driving force dynamically, ensuring accurate signal transmission even at high operating speeds by compensating for signal degradation in real-time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the driving force adjustable rather than fixed. The transmitting device changes the driving force of the original signal based on the received signal quality, allowing the system to adapt to varying transmission conditions and maintain signal integrity at different operating speeds.
2Reliability
If driving force is increased to improve signal transmission, then signal accuracy is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the driving force dynamic and adjustable based on actual transmission needs. Instead of using a constantly high driving force, the system adjusts the driving force level according to the received signal quality, consuming only the necessary amount of power to achieve accurate transmission under current conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the driving force parameter dynamically based on feedback from the receiving device. By adjusting this parameter according to actual transmission conditions rather than maintaining a fixed high value, the system achieves accurate signal transmission while optimizing power consumption to match actual needs.

AI summary
A semiconductor system may include a first semiconductor device and a second semiconductor device. The first semiconductor device compares a received signal with an original signal to generate a driving force control signal. The first semiconductor device also drives the original signal using a driving force in accordance with the driving force control signal to output an external transmission signal. The second semiconductor device receives the external transmission signal to generate a positive signal and a negative signal. The second semiconductor device also generates a restoration signal in response to the positive signal and the negative signal. The second semiconductor device additionally outputs the restoration signal as the external transmission signal to the first semiconductor device.
