摘要： A low cost, two-dimensional, fingerprint sensor includes a pixel array, each pixel including a switch and a pixel electrode for forming a capacitance with a fingertip. One or more active transmission electrodes are spaced from a selected row of the pixel array, and transmit a carrier signal into the finger without direct coupling into the selected pixels. Signals sensed by the pixel array are coupled to an independent integrated circuit, and connections between the IC and the pixel array are reduced by demultiplexing row select lines, and by multiplexing sensed column data. Differential sensing may be used to improve common mode noise rejection. The fingerprint sensor may be conveniently incorporated within a conventional touchpad LCD panel, and can mimic the performance of lower density touchpad pixels.

摘要： CMOS transistor logic circuitry is permitted to operate at higher power supply voltages while retaining lower voltage processing geometries by providing each input signal as dual input signals that track each other within two different voltage ranges. A shield voltage is provided approximately midway between the uppermost and lowermost power supply voltages. The first input signal ranges between the lowermost power supply voltage and the shield voltage, and the second input signal ranges between the shield voltage and the uppermost power supply voltage. The first and second input signals drive the gates of n-channel and p-channel CMOS switching transistors, respectively, the drain terminals of which are coupled to first and second output terminals, respectively. N-channel and p-channel shield transistors are connected in series between the first and second output terminals, and have their gate terminals coupled to the shield voltage.

摘要： CMOS transistor logic circuitry is permitted to operate at higher power supply voltages while retaining lower voltage processing geometries by inserting input shielding transistors before the gate terminals of each input switching transistor. Each shielding transistor has a gate terminal coupled to a shield voltage of a magnitude substantially midway between ground potential and the positive power supply voltage. The input signal is conveyed by the source-drain channel of the input shielding transistor to the gate of the switching transistor, while preventing the gate of the switching transistor from rising above the shield voltage, in the case of n-channel devices, or below the shield voltage, in the case of p-channel devices. The source-drain channel of a p-channel output shielding transistor couples the output port of p-channel switching transistors to the gate output; the gate terminal of the such p-channel output shielding transistor is coupled to the shield voltage for preventing the drain of p-channel switching transistors from being pulled down below the shield voltage. A similar n-channel output shielding transistor couples the output port of n-channel switching transistors to the gate output for preventing the drain of n-channel switching transistors from being pulled above the shield voltage.

摘要： An adaptive lock time controller for a phase locked loop having dividers for generating first and second loop timing signals, a phase detector, a voltage controlled oscillator, and a charging circuit for generating at least a first control signal for converging the output frequency to one or more predetermined frequency channels and a second control signal for maintaining the output frequency substantially constant, comprises a synchronization generator, a phase lock detector, and a control signal selector. The synchronization generator is responsive to the phase detector for synchronizing the phase lock detector. The phase lock detector detects phase locked and unlocked conditions by generating a count representative of the phase difference between the first and second loop timing signals. When the count generated exceeds a predetermined count, a phase locked condition exists, otherwise the loop is unlocked. The control signal selector selects the first control signal during the predetermined time interval when the phase unlocked condition is detected, and the second control signal when the phase locked condition is detected.

The programamble error correcting apparatus is capable of correcting any two bit error combination within the code word structure and contains sequential and combinational logic circuits.

摘要： An integrated circuit for driving an active or passive matrix liquid crystal display panel or the like provides an analog output signal which switches through a voltage range that exceeds the safe operating voltage of the CMOS transistors from which it is formed. Duplicate digital to analog conversion circuits are provided on the integrated circuit but are operated from two different power supply voltage ranges. Each voltage range has a magnitude less than the safe operating voltage. The analog output signals generated by the duplicate digital to analog conversion circuits are coupled to an output multiplexer that is responsive to a control signal for selecting one of the two analog output signals to the output terminal of the integrated circuit. The output multiplexer includes an n-channel pass transistor and a p-channel pass transistor coupled to the output terminal in parallel with each other and responsive to the control signal for passing one or the other of the dual analog signals to the output terminal. Exposure of the pass transistors to voltages exceeding the safe operating voltage is avoided by inserting shielding transistors in series therewith.
