The concept of a "transparent repeater a ~" which is an amplifier circuit designed to minimize the delay introduced by highly resistive interconnect lines in high speed digital circuits, is introduced and described in this paper. An insertion methodology for this circuit is also discussed. Defining characteristics of this circuit are: the input is connected to the output, the output generates the same sense transition as the corresponding input transition, the buffer output becomes high impedance after every transition, and the buffer may detect input transitions with low threshold voltages.
