摘要:
A clocking mechanism is provided for multiple overlapped dynamic programmable logic arrays which are used in a digital control unit wherein a sequence of control words are used to produce successive groups of control point signals. Such a control unit includes a plurality of dynamic programmable logic arrays (24-29) for individually producing different ones of the control words. Each such control word includes a strobe field which is coded to identify a programmable logic array other than the one which produced it. The control unit also includes control circuitry (30, 31, 35, 37, 43, 45) responsive to the control words for producing the control point signals for successive machine control cycles. The control circuitry includes circuitry (37, 45) responsive to the strobe field in each control word for producing a strobe signal (Sl, S2, SA, SB, SC or SD) for selecting the next programmable logic array (24-29) to supply a control word to the control circuitry. This control unit further includes clocking circuitry (60) responsive to the strobe signals (S1, S2, SA, etc.) produced by the control circuitry for producing clocking signals (PC1-PC9) for the dynamic programmable logic arrays (24-29). Such clocking circuitry includes only combinatorial logic circuitry for producing the clocking signals.

In one embodiment the invention provides a radar trigger and pretrigger generator which determines the inherent component time delay through the radar modulator and transmitter (10) during a first cycle of operation. During the next cycle of operation, a pretrigger pulse is generated after a time corresponding to the previously measured delay and a trigger pulse is generated after a time corresponding to an operator selectable delay. The trigger pulse is used to trigger the radar modulator (10) which, in effect, permits the operator to control the elapsed time between the pretrigger pulse and the transmitter firing in a fashion which is completely independent of circuit delay variances through the radar modulator and transmitter.

57 Disclosed in a high performance current switch push-pull driver circuit. A first output of the current switch (T1, T2) is direct coupled to the push-pull driver (T5, T6) while the second output of the current switch is coupled to the push-pull driver by means of an emitter follower (T3) and current mirror (TM). Emitter followers (T3, T4) connected to the current switch (T1, T2) provide a first pair of true/ complement outputs (OUT1, OUT1) while push-pull drivers provide a second set of true/complementary outputs (OUT2, OUT2) having a higher drive capability. The current mirror (TM) is biased near its turn on potential providing current control switching of the current mode transistor and the push-pull driver transistor with which it is coupled. The circuit is greatly tolerant for varying load conditions, is protected against short circuit and power supply failures and has means for three state operation.

A programmable high resolution timing system includes a selectable modulus prescaler counter (16). In one embodiment a high frequency clock (14) is coupled to a prescaler counter (16) which provides an output signal (T A /T M ) every predetermined number of clock pulses. The prescaler (16) is coupled to a period counter (18) which provides a period signal (To) after a predetermined number of prescaler output signal pulses. The prescaler (16) and period counter (18) are coupled to a memory (32) which stores data corresponding to the selected modulus of the prescaler (16) and the number of counts by which the period counter (18) output signal is to be delayed. The period resolution is thus made substantially equal to the resolution of the high frequency clock (14) by varying the prescaler (16) modulus at programmable intervals.

A self-calibrated clock and timing signal generator provides reliable and continuous arbitrary digital waveforms of preselectable edge resolution. The generator comprises a multistage means (16) to produce a time-delayed signal of preselectable edge resolution and having a plurality of series-connected delay stages (6Q). The delays per stage are substantially identical so that the selection of any one of the outlets is representative of a predetermined amount of delay provided to an input signal to the multistage means. Calibrating means is integrally included to develop a control signal which is coupled to each of the stages of the multistage means to continuously maintain the predetermined amount of delay per stage. In the embodiment described, the calibrating means takes the form of an automatic frequency control (AFC) loop (12) wherein the frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) (18) is regulated to be equal to that of a reference frequency. The VCO comprises a plurality of series-connected delay stages (30). The control voltage is applied to each stage to control the period or frequency of the VCO. The control voltage developed to adjust the VCO frequency is also employed to regulate the delay of the stages (60) comprising the multistage means. The stages of the delay line are identical in construction to the stages of the VCO.

A signal generating circuit for an integrated circuit device responsive to first (CS) and second (DATA IN) externally applied input signals occurring at a predetermined time interval In which the performance of a first input signal responsive circuit (12) is made to vary inversely with respect to the performance of other internal signal generating circuits (10,18, TC) such that internally generated signals will occur at a predetermined time with respect to the external input signals regardless of the influence of variable parameters. Power dissipation of the first input signal responsive circuit also varies inversely with respect to that of other circuits present on the integrated circuit device so that total power dissipation is minimized.
