摘要： An improved modem architecture and associated method are disclosed that integrate modem and line-isolation circuitry so as to achieve modem functionality and system-side isolation functionality on a single integrated circuit. The combined modem and line isolation system includes a line-side line-isolation integrated circuit which contains caller ID circuitry. The caller ID circuitry includes a caller ID analog to digital converter for processing caller ID data. The caller ID analog to digital converter may be powered by a power supply generated from power provided across a capacitive isolation barrier. The caller ID circuitry may be coupled to the ringer inputs of the line-side line-isolation integrated circuit. The ringer inputs may be capacitively coupled to the phone line.

摘要： An improved modem architecture and associated method are disclosed that integrate modem and line-isolation circuitry so as to achieve modem functionality and system-side isolation functionality on a single integrated circuit. The combined modem and line isolation system has both on-hook and off-hook intrusion detection for use with parallel connected phone line connection devices. During on-hook intrusion detection, when the combined modem and line isolation system is on-hook the system can detect if other parallel connected phone line connection devices are already off-hook. During off-hook intrusion detection, when the combined modem and line isolation system is off-hook the system can detect if other parallel connected phone line connection devices are attempting to go off-hook. On-hook intrusion detection may be accomplished by monitoring the phone line voltage through a pin utilized for setting DC termination characteristics.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for suspending or freezing outputs from an isolation barrier system, which may be a digital capacitive isolation barrier system, during the occurrence of events that may disrupt proper operation of the system. Examples of such disruptive events are data rate changes during modem baud rate negotiations, transition to low-power mode, and going off-hook in a telephony system. In each of these cases, the master circuit anticipates the disruption and sends a freeze signal to the isolated circuit. The freeze signal instructs the isolated circuit to enter freeze mode, and no data is sent through the isolation system. Internal control signals are generated and used to establish synchronization and framing after the disruption, and to restore normal operation of the isolation system. In preferred embodiments, the duration of the freeze period may be determined by a timer or by circuitry that detects framing lock or the presence of transients in the system. This invention prevents the transmission of erroneous control signals or corrupted data through the isolation system when it experiences a disruptive event.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for maintaining communication across an isolation barrier even if the external circuitry to which it is connected enters a low-power mode. In normal operation the isolation barrier local clock is synchronized with a clock signal provided by the external circuitry. If the external circuitry enters a low-power mode, its clock signal often slows or stops. In that case, the local clock in the isolation barrier switches to a free-running mode, wherein a VCO voltage input is provided by a bias voltage generator instead of by a PLL circuit. The VCO thus continues to provide a local clock signal in order to allow communication of information across the isolation barrier even if the external circuitry is not active. This enables the isolation barrier to receive and process an external signal, such as a ring signal, in low-power mode. Means are provided for causing the external circuitry to “wake up” in the event that a ring or other signal is detected by the isolation system, at which time the system resumes normal operation.
摘要翻译：提供了一种用于在隔离屏障上保持通信的方法和装置，即使其所连接的外部电路进入低功率模式。在正常操作中，隔离栅本地时钟与由外部电路提供的时钟信号同步。如果外部电路进入低功耗模式，则其时钟信号通常会减慢或停止。在这种情况下，隔离栅中的本地时钟切换到自由运行模式，其中VCO电压输入由偏置电压发生器而不是由PLL电路提供。因此，VCO因此继续提供本地时钟信号，以便即使外部电路不活动，也可以跨隔离屏障通信信息。这使得隔离屏障能够在低功率模式下接收和处理外部信号，例如振铃信号。提供了在隔离系统检测到环或其他信号的情况下使外部电路“唤醒”的装置，此时系统恢复正常操作。

摘要： Narrow band tunable radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs) and related methods are disclosed that provide narrow band tunable gain responses, such as linear gain responses, that can be selected for different frequency bands. The narrow band tunable PAs thereby provide out-of-band rejection for different selectable frequency bands so that narrow band filters are not required in the transmit input path for communication devices. The passband location and/or bandwidth for the narrow band gain response can be tuned using different techniques, as desired. The narrow band tunable PAs can also be fabricated using CMOS processing, if desired, so that a CMOS PA integrated circuit is provided.

摘要： CMOS power amplifiers (PAs) are disclosed having one or more integrated one-time programming (OTP) memories that are utilized to control at least in part operation of the CMOS PAs. The integrated OTP memories within the CMOS power amplifiers (PAs) allow adjustments, such as one-time factory trimming, of CMOS PA integrated circuits to optimize or improve performance. With this capability, for example, the tuning and biasing of stages within a multi-stage amplifier within a CMOS PA can be measured during factory test and adjusted by setting one or more bits in the OTP memories, as desired. Further, the operation of other circuitry within the PA can also be controlled at least in part with parameter settings stored in the OTP memories.
