摘要:
The output frequency (14) of an oscillator circuit (10) can be controlled by replacing at least one of the reactive components (40), such as a capacitor or inductor, with a synthesized element (22). The synthesized element creates a signal that corresponds to the response of the reactive component it is replacing. The synthesized element may be a current source (44), such as a field effect transistor, that is capable of operating at low voltages.
摘要:
A comparator (10) provides a high speed comparison between at least two input signals and includes at least two stages (12) and (14). Each stage (12 and 14) includes a pair of transistors (24), a complimentary pair of transistors (28) and an enabling transistor (26). The stages are coupled to provide positive feedback. A controller (15) operably couples to the enabling transistors. When the first input signal (16) is at a higher voltage level than the second input signal (18), the first comparison output (20) goes low. Conversely, when the second input signal (18) is at a higher voltage level than the first input signal (16), the second comparison output goes low. When the first comparison output (20) goes low, the second enabling transistor (34) is disabled by the controller (15). When the second comparison output goes low, the first enabling transistor (26) is disabled by the controller (15).

摘要:
A data converter (10) includes an operational amplifier (14), a first reference input element (18), a second reference input element (22), voltage references 40, and a control element (34). The control element (34) generates control signals (36, 38) based on a digital input. The first reference input element (18) provides a sampled first reference signal (16) to a first input node (13), the sampling of the first temperature variant signal being based on the control signals. The second reference input element (22) provides a sampled difference of the second and third reference signals (20 & 21) to the first input node, the sampling of the second and third temperature variant signals being based on the control signals. The operational amplifier (14) integrates the inputs to perform a digital-to-analog conversion that is substantially temperature invariant.
