Un amplificateur de puissance comprend un étage d'entrée comportant un amplificateur entièrement différentiel avec des entrées et des sorties différentielles, et un circuit de contrôle du retour fonctionnant en boucle fermée et à haute impédance séparant les signaux de contrôle de retour en boucle fermée des sorties différentielles. L'étage de sortie de chaque sortie différentielle de l'étage d'entrée comprend un amplificateur de classe AB ayant des suiveurs de source s'interfaçant avec l'amplificateur entièrement différentiel. Un circuit de contrôle de la tension de sortie fonctionnant en mode commun maintient la tension de sortie en mode commun de l'amplificateur de classe AB à un niveau voulu. Un régulateur de courant de repos comprend un circuit reproduisant le comportement de l'un des suiveurs de source pour dériver un signal de régulation en maintenant le courant de repos des transistors de sortie à une valeur désirée.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for decoding convolutional codes used in error-correcting circuitry for digital data communication. To increase the speed and precision of the decoding process, the branch and/or state metrics are normalized during the soft decision calculations, whereby the dynamic range of the decoder is better utilized. Another aspect of the invention relates to decreasing the time and memory required to calculate the log-likelihood ratio by sending some of the soft decision values directly to a calculator without first storing them in memory.

The invention relates to packet switched networks, and more particularly to a circuit and a method for clock recovery in cell-relay networks, particularly ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks offering constant bit rate services. The multimode clock recovery circuit has an embedded digital phase locked loop including an input circuit capable of generating a phase signal from at least two types of input signal. The phase signal controlling the output of the phase locked loop generates clock signals for the constant bit rate services.

A method of controlling the supply of cells into an asynchronous network, comprises the steps of storing incoming bytes from multiple channels in respective channel buffers, creating in memory a timing event wheel partitioned into a plurality of sectors, of which one is active at any time, and placing cell pointers in the sectors. The cell pointers identify channel buffers and are distributed around the wheel in accordance with a desired transmission schedule. The wheel is stepwise advanced at a predetermined rate, and the cell pointers in the active sector are scanned at each advance of the wheel to identify the corresponding channel buffers. The bytes from the identified channel buffers are assembled into cells, which are forwarded for transmission over the asynchronous network. These are then multiplexed with VBR cells from another source.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes etching hcles through at least one deposited layer to an underlying structure. A hard mask is deposited on an upper surface of a device to be etched, the mask is patterned with the aid of a photoresist and holes are etched in the hard mask. After removal of the photoresist, contact or via holes are etched through the patterned hard mask in the deposited layer(s) to reach the underlying structure.

A phase reversal detector comprises a circuit for receiving an input signal subject to occasional phase reversals, a circuit for generating signals representing the quadrature components thereof, and a circuit responsive to a migration in the quadrature plane of the position of the quadrature components by an amount greater than a predetermined threshold to generate a signal indicative of a valid phase reversal. The detector is capable of exceeding the requirements of ITU standard G.165, and yet is simple to implement and works over a large dynamic range.

A telecommunications system comprises a plurality of servers interconnected by a TDM backbone and able to share a common channel or bandwith. An arrangement for sending messages or files between said servers comprises a master node for sending a continuous stream of cells round the backbone, each cell having a header portion and a payload portion, and a plurality of downstream nodes which upon arrival of incoming cells insert information therein, read information therefrom, or allow the cells to pass thereby unaltered.
