摘要:
Delay circuits capable of providing delays closely matching propagation delays of synchronous circuits are described. In one design, an apparatus includes a synchronous circuit and a delay circuit. The synchronous circuit includes a forward path from a data input to a data output. The synchronous circuit receives input data and provides output data with a propagation delay. The delay circuit receives an input signal and provides a delayed input signal having a delay matching the propagation delay of the synchronous circuit. The delay circuit includes at least two logic gates in the forward path of the synchronous circuit. The synchronous and delay circuits may be implemented based on the same or similar circuit architecture. The delay circuit may be based on a replica of the synchronous circuit, with the replica having feedback loops broken and clock input coupled to appropriate logic value to always enable the delay circuit.

While taking X-Y coordinate measurements to determine the location of a point of contact on a touch screen, a controller circuit drives the touch screen with a selectable voltage. Voltages output from the touch screen are converted by an ADC into the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate values. The ADC has a convertible input voltage range. If only a low touch screen detection resolution is required, then the voltage with which the touch screen is driven is made to be substantially less than the convertible input voltage range. Only a portion of the convertible input range is usable, but this is adequate for the application and power consumption is reduced. If a higher touch screen detection resolution is required, then the touch screen is driven with a higher voltage. Power consumption is increased, but more or all of the convertible input voltage range of the ADC is then usable.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for a camera zoom function are provided. The method includes associating a camera zoom with at least one sensor, detecting a physical characteristic of the camera with the at least one sensor, and adjusting the camera zoom based on the detected physical characteristic of the camera. The detecting the physical characteristic and the adjusting the camera zoom are continuous. An apparatus is provided and includes a camera, a memory, and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The at least one processor is configured to associate a camera zoom with at least one sensor, detect a physical characteristic of the camera with the at least one sensor, and adjust the camera zoom based on the detected physical characteristic of the camera. The detecting the physical characteristic and the adjusting the camera zoom are continuous.

A programmable delay circuit capable of providing a delay with integer and fractional time resolution is described. In one exemplary design, an apparatus includes first and second (500) delay circuits. The first delay circuit provides a first delay of an integer number of time units. The second delay circuit (500) couples to the first delay circuit and provides a second delay of a fraction of one time unit. The first delay circuit may include multiple unit delay cells coupled in series. Each unit delay cell may provide a delay of one time unit when enabled. The second delay circuit (500) may have first and second paths. The first path may provide a shorter delay when selected, and the second path may provide a longer delay when selected. The second path may be coupled to at least one dummy logic gate (518) that provides extra loading to obtain the longer delay for the second path.
