摘要:
A digital remote control apparatus for transmitting digital instruction signals to a controllable apparatus includes a transmitter for transmitting a coded digital instruction signal composed of a sequence of synchronization pulses having a predetermined period and data pulses each inserted between successive synchronization pulses at predetermined positions therein dependent upon whether the data pulses represents a "0" bit or a "1" bit. The receiving apparatus distinguishes between "0" and "1" bits by detecting the length of an interval between the leading edge of a synchronization pulse and the leading edge of an adjacent data pulse and determines the existence of noise if more than one data pulse is detected between successive synchronzation pulses. In this way, information decoding is facilitated by enabling the length of each data word to be constant, regardless of the number of ones and zeroes in the word, and also facilitates the detection of communication transmission error by detecting the presence of more than one data pulse between successive synchronization pulses of a constant period as being noise.

A complementary circuit device which cancels a latch-up phenomenon to return to normal operation includes a complementary circuit, a latch-up detection circuit and a reset circuit. The complementary circuit, which is normally started from a prescribed logic state in response to an initial power application of power to the circuit, is susceptible to erroneous restart when the same is resupplied with power immediately after occurrence of a latch-up phenomenon. The latch-up detection circuit detects a latch-up phenomenon occurring in the complementary circuit. The reset circuit resets the complementary circuit to the prescribed logic state in response to an output from the latch-up detection circuit. The complementary circuit is reset again to the prescribed state in a manner similar to the case of initial application of power. The invention facilitates a normal return to operation of a complementary circuit upon cancellation of the latch-up phenomenon.

In a digital data transmission system, a transmitting device converts the data to be transmitted into a series of bits, in the form of data pulses. Each data pulse is positioned between successive synchronous pulses having a fixed time period, and each bit is represented by the time length between a data pulse and a preceding synchronous pulse or a succeeding synchronous pulse. The transmitting device transmits the series of the data pulses and the synchronous pulses. A receiving device receives the series of the data pulses and the synchronous pulses and decodes the same to read the data.

A flash memory capable of solving a problem of a conventional flash memory in that it requires considerable time and effort to measure supply voltages generated in the flash memory during writing, erasing and verifying operations, and is difficult to acquire accurate results, because they cannot be measured by a tester and must be measured manually by putting a probe directly to voltage supply lines. The present flash memory includes a first voltage transfer circuit for supplying an A/D converter with an analog signal input to a microcomputer, and a second voltage transfer circuit for supplying the input terminal of the A/D converter with a programming voltage generated by a flash memory voltage generator, and brings the first voltage transfer circuit into a conducting state and the second voltage transfer circuit into a nonconducting state in a normal operation mode, and brings the first voltage transfer circuit into the nonconducting state and the second voltage transfer circuit into the conducting state in a voltage measurement mode to measure voltages on the flash memory power supply lines.
