摘要： The present invention provides a bi-directional low pass filtering method and apparatus for attenuating out-of-baseband components of data transmitted from an encoder to a decoder over a transmission medium. In one embodiment of the present invention, the bi-directional low pass filtering apparatus includes a Chebyshev filter that has a first phase response. This Chebyshev filter is coupled to a phase correction circuit, which has a second phase response. This second phase response of the phase correction circuit is designed to oppose the first phase response in order to offset variations in group delay in the data due to the Chebyshev filter.

摘要： A subthreshold sense circuit for clamping an injected current at the input pins of an integrated circuit device before the injected current causes the voltage at the input pins to exceed the supply voltage by more than a diode's ON voltage. The subthreshold sense circuit is driven to operate in the linear region of the FETs. The subthreshold sense circuit of the present invention comprises level shifters, a subthreshold current source, a reference voltage generator, a subthreshold comparator, and a clamping circuit. The subthreshold current source generates a reference drain current to drive the sense circuit of the present invention in the linear region. A level shifter is connected to an input pin to shift the voltage level of the input pin by a subthreshold voltage level. The reference voltage generator provides a reference voltage to be compared with the subthreshold-shifted input voltage. The subthreshold comparator compares the subthreshold-shifted input voltage with the reference voltage level such that when the subthreshold-shifted input voltage from the input pin exceeds the reference voltage level, the subthreshold comparator will turn on. The clamping circuit is activated by the subthreshold comparator to clamp the input pin to less than one V.sub.D (ON) drop over the supply voltage by sinking the injected current at the input pin when the subthreshold comparator is turned on.

摘要： A "true" 16-bit second order Sigma-Delta based converter that has superior analog components and has a programmable comb filter which is coupled to the digital signal processor. This converter comprises a second order Sigma-Delta modulator and a programmable comb filter. The second order Sigma-Delta modulator dramatically attenuates the baseband quantization noise energy (which in turn increases the resolution of the converter), since its superior amplifiers and comparators enable it to oversample and coarsely quantize the analog input signal at a very high sampling frequency of 12 MHz. The amplifiers are class AB OTAs, which have cross coupled NMOS driven input stages, and cascoded output stages. Also, the common mode voltages are the optimal biasing points, and these voltages are kept constant by a differential input stage, by a PV independent temperature dependent current generator, by optimal device size, and by a common mode feedback circuitry. The programmable comb filter receives the coarsely digitized 1-bit output of the modulator at oversampling frequency F.sub.S, and provides a more accurate representation of the input signal to the DSP at slower sampling rate of F.sub.S /N. In addition, the comb filter uses a 20-bit data path, in order to enable the decimator (which is formed by the comb filter and by the FIR filter) to provide 16 bits of resolution to the DSP. The output of the programmable comb filter is then supplied to an FIR filter which is realized in the DSP, and this filter removes the remaining out-of-baseband noise.

摘要： In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a high-speed multi-phase voltage regulator (VR) capable of sensing load current. For each phase leg, the VR includes a current mirror to mirror current in switching elements, a current sense to sense high side current in the current mirror, and a I-V converter to convert the sensed high side current to a voltage. The high side sensed current for each phase leg is averaged and the duty cycle for the VR is extracted. The average high side sensed current and the duty cycle are converted to digital by an A-D converter. Digital circuitry corrects the sensed current by adjusting for the gain and offset voltage of the VR. The adjusted sensed value is divided by the duty cycle to convert to load current and the average load current is multiplied by the number of phases operating to determine overall load current.

摘要： An apparatus includes a memory buffer, a first signal buffer, a locked loop circuit and a feedback circuit. The memory buffer provides a data signal to an output terminal of the memory buffer in response to a first clock signal. The first signal buffer is coupled between the output terminal of the memory buffer and a data line of a bus. The first signal buffer introduces a first delay. The locked loop circuit furnishes the first clock signal to establish a predefined relationship between a phase of a second clock signal and a phase of a third clock signal. The feedback circuit produces the second clock signal in response to the first clock signal. The feedback circuit includes a second signal buffer to introduce a second delay to the second clock, and the second delay is approximately the same as the first delay that is introduced by the first signal buffer.
