摘要： Multi-tuner receiver architectures and associated methods are disclosed that provide initial analog coarse tuning of desired channels within a received signal spectrum, such as transponder channels within a set-top box signal spectrum for satellite communications. These multi-tuner satellite receiver architectures provide significant advantages over prior direct down-conversion (DDC) architectures and low intermediate-frequency (IF) architectures, particularly where two tuners are desired on the same integrated circuit. Rather than using a low-IF frequency or directly converting the desired channel frequency to DC, initial coarse tuning provided by analog coarse tuning circuitry allows for a conversion to a frequency range around DC. This coarse tuning circuitry can be implemented, for example, using a large-step local oscillator (LO) that provides a coarse tune analog mixing signal. Once mixed down, the desired channel may then be fine-tuned through digital processing, such as through the use of a wide-band analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or a narrow-band tunable bandpass ADC.
摘要翻译：公开了多调谐器接收机架构和相关方法，其提供在接收信号频谱内的期望信道的初始模拟粗调，例如用于卫星通信的机顶盒信号频谱内的应答器信道。这些多调谐器卫星接收机架构提供了优于先前的直接下变频（DDC）架构和低中频（IF）架构的显着优点，特别是在同一集成电路上需要两个调谐器时。不是使用低IF频率或直接将期望的信道频率转换为DC，而是由模拟粗调谐电路提供的初始粗调调可以转换到大约DC的频率范围。该粗调谐电路可以例如使用提供粗调模拟混频信号的大步本地振荡器（LO）来实现。一旦混合，则可以通过数字处理（例如通过使用宽带模数转换器（ADC）或窄带可调谐带通ADC）来微调所需的信道。

摘要： A communication system is provided which draws virtually no loop current during a ringing burst and only draws on-hook loop current during the caller ID field. More particularly, ringer burst circuitry may be powered from the user powered circuitry by the transmission of power across the isolation barrier rather than being powered from the phone line. Thus, loop current need not be drawn from the TIP/RING lines during ringer bursts. The isolation barrier may be a capacitive isolation barrier which allows bidirectional communication and extraction of power from signals transmitted across the barrier.

摘要： A stereo digital-to-analog converter is able to operate in an 8 pin package yet to operate under a variety of serial data input formats. The normal de-emphasis pin can be used for receiving a static de-emphasis signal, an external serial clock, or programming data for the serial data formats. In addition metal and wire bond options are used to provide more flexibility in the manufacturing process.

摘要： In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for injecting a gain compensation value into a signal path of a receiver for a predetermined time when a change to a control value for an amplifier of the receiver occurs. This gain compensation value may be used to at least substantially remove a gain change caused by the change to the control value, improving audio performance by reducing or removing audible artifacts caused by the gain change.

摘要： Power-up and power-down transient suppression are provided for an audio digital-to-analog converter with a single ended output to prevent annoying pops which accompany switching an audio system on and off. Power-up suppression is achieved by clamping an output signal to ground, driving the audio channel to ground, releasing the clamp and driving the audio channel gradually to its quiescent (zero signal) value. Power-down suppression is provided by using a positive feedback amplifier to accelerate current drain initiated by a constant current source used to bleed off the charge on output capacitor. The audio digital-to-analog converter sets operational mode based on ratios of a master clock to a channel selection clock. The techniques disclosed apply readily to the outputs received from CDs, CD-ROMs, DAT and other digital recording media.
