摘要： An RC oscillator includes an RC network for forming a time constant equal to the RC product. However, this RC time constant is not used in the manner of a typical RC network to set the frequency of oscillation. Instead, the RC oscillator disclosed herein includes a separate oscillator, such as a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), and uses the RC time constant to compare with the oscillator-generated period and to adjust the frequency of the overall RC oscillator circuit in accordance with the comparison. The RC oscillator is self-calibrating.

摘要： A stability-compensated, integrated-circuit operational amplifier has an open-loop gain versus frequency characteristic which provides stable and accurate closed-loop operation in numerous overall circuits including a CMOS circuit for producing a precision current as a reference to a digital-to-analog converter. The operational amplifier comprises an inverting node and a non-inverting node, and CMOS circuitry defining two differential amplifiers. Each differential amplifier is connected to the inverting node and the non-inverting node. The first differential amplifier has an output node, and produces on the output node an output potential that defines an output signal having a magnitude that is a function of the magnitude of the difference between a first potential at the inverting node and a second potential at the non-inverting node. The second differential amplifier is also connected to the inverting node and the non-inverting node. The second differential amplifier produces a compensation signal. The operational amplifier further includes capacitive circuitry for coupling the compensation signal to the non-inverting node.

摘要： A monolithic frequency converter using a feedback control loop generates a source of synthesized frequency signals over a wide dynamic range based on a timing source such as a crystal oscillator or an external frequency source. The frequency converter includes a controlled oscillator, a frequency counter, a timing signal generator and, connected between the frequency counter and the controlled oscillator, a digital to analog converter and a difference integrator. The controlled oscillator generates a clock signal at a frequency controlled by an electrical signal. The difference integrator is connected to an input signal terminal and connected to the timing signal generator. The difference integrator determines a difference signal between the input signal and a signal operated upon by the digital to analog converter and integrates the difference signal under control of a timing signal generated by the timing signal generator. The frequency converter has a highly linear transfer function which is established by the resolution of a frequency counter. For example, a transfer function having approximately 0.1% accuracy in linearity is achieved using a 10-bit resolution frequency counter. Using indirect frequency synthesis, the controlled oscillator generates precisely controlled timing signals.

摘要： A comparator which is used to compare two analog voltages and provide a single ended output comprises three CMOS differential amplifiers. The use of three differential amplifiers provides improved matching of input capacitance, and a reduction in propagation delay over prior art use of a single differential amplifier. The comparator may be adopted for use in certain CMOS processes to extend the maximum operating voltage by limiting the internal node voltages otherwise subject to damage from impact ionization. An alternative embodiment is disclosed for comparing two analog voltages that are outside the power supply voltage range.
