    Abstract: A one-pin integrated crystal oscillator in a Colpitts configuration employs a differential amplifier, provided with a feedback network, as an input gain stage. This achieves an enhanced stability and independence from temperature variation, a high Q figure, and a short start-up with a relatively small area of integration.

    Abstract: A method detects multipath propagation in a modulated digital signal. The method provides a first value of channel frequency, representing the modulated digital signal free of multipath propagation, providing a second value of said channel frequency, representing the modulated digital signal with multipath propagation, and comparing the first and second values. A method detects adjacent channel interference in a modulated digital signal by comparing first and second values of a characteristic parameter of the digital signal, respectively representing the digital signal free of adjacent channel interference and the digital signal affected by adjacent channel interference. In particular, the method obtains a derivative signal, applies a non-linear Teager-Kaiser function to the digital signal and the derivative signal for generating first and second signals respectively representing energy content of the digital signal and energy content of the derivative signal, and processes the first and second signals for generating the second value.

    Abstract: An output buffer circuit including an input node, an output stage, an output node that is connected to the output stage, and a control circuit that controls voltage variations during the rising and falling edges of the output signal. The control circuit compares the levels of the input signal and the output signal and drives the output stage. In a preferred embodiment, the control circuit includes first and second logic circuits that are each connected to the input and output nodes. The first logic circuit selectively enables operation of a first driving circuit, and the second logic circuit selectively enables operation of a second driving circuit. Additionally, a method for slew rate control during rising and falling edges of an output signal of an output buffer circuit is provided. According to the method, the level of the output signal and the level of the input signal are compared. If the input and output signals have different levels, a current is injected into or taken from the output node. In one preferred method, the current is injected or taken by controlling a first driving circuit so as to inject a current into the output node or controlling a second driving circuit so as to take a current from the output node.

The master device and the slave device exchange data in a bi-directional manner on at least one communication channel; the master device and the slave device have a unique bit clock; the master device supplies a synchronization signal to the slave device. The synchronization signal has a frequency spectrum with an amplitude at the intermediate frequency lower than the amplitudes at the other frequencies of the synchronization signal.

    Abstract: A low-consumption and high-density D flip-flop circuit implementation, particularly for standard cell libraries, which comprises a master section and a slave section, is disclosed and claimed. The master section includes a master latch structure, a master coupling circuit which connects the master latch structure to one of two supply voltages, and an input coupling circuit for applying data to the flip-flop. The slave section includes a slave latch structure directly interposed between two supply voltages, and a slave coupling circuit which connects the slave latch structure to the master latch structure. The number of transistors required to realize the D flip-flop circuit implementation of the invention is minimized by enlarging the source areas of transistors in the input coupling circuit, which results in a large stray capacitance and insures optimum operation of the master latch. In addition, transistors in the slave latch structure have non-minimal gate lengths. Furthermore, a single clock signal is used to enable both master and slave sections. The ability to use a single clock signal without local regeneration coupled with minimizing the number of required components facilitates higher integrated circuit density and reduces power consumption.
