    摘要: A jitter detector obtains a phase difference between input signals as a digital value to make jitter between the signals easily detectable. The jitter detector includes comparison pulse generator, periodic signal generator, counter and arithmetic unit. The comparison pulse generator outputs one phase difference comparison pulse after another. Each phase difference comparison pulse has a width representing the phase difference between first and second input signals. The periodic signal generator outputs a periodic signal every time a value obtained by accumulating the widths of the phase difference comparison pulses exceeds a predetermined value. Receiving the periodic signal and a clock signal with a period shorter than that of the periodic signal, the counter counts the number of pulses of the clock signal during one period of the periodic signal and outputs a resultant count. And the arithmetic unit detects and outputs a variation in the count as jitter between the first and second input signals.

    摘要: Fixed pattern noise of an analog memory is reduced. Transfer paths of an address selection signal (SL) between an address generation unit (10) and respective storage elements (21) for storing an analog signal are constructed to have a substantially uniform electric characteristic in driving the storage elements (21) by the address selection signal (SL) to such an extent that the output signal of the analog memory is free from fixed pattern noise. A buffer unit (50) for temporarily storing and outputting the address selection signal is provided between the address generation unit (10) and the respective storage elements (21), and the buffer unit (50) is constructed to have an output characteristic substantially uniform between the storage elements (21). Also, lines between the buffer unit (50) and the storage elements (21) are constructed to have substantially the same electric characteristic. In this manner, charge feed through noise of the respective storage elements (21) are made substantially uniform, resulting in suppressing the fixed pattern noise.

    摘要: The invention provides an analog FIFO memory from which a written analog signal can be accurately read by eliminating errors in the analog signal between the write operation and the read operation. Prior to the read operation for reading the analog signal from a memory cell through a memory bus, a reset operation for setting the memory bus at a predetermined potential is conducted so as to remove a charge stored in a parasitic capacitance of the memory bus. The input terminal of a read circuit is set at a predetermined potential, with a write circuit disconnected from the memory bus by using an input circuit and with the read circuit connected with the memory bus by using an output circuit. In this manner, the memory bus is set at the predetermined potential, and the charge stored in the parasitic capacitance is discharged. At this point, a switch in each memory cell is in an off-state, and hence, a charge corresponding to the analog signal can be retained in the memory cell.

    摘要: In order to correct the duty cycle of a given clock signal to produce a clock signal with a 50% duty cycle, a duty cycle correction circuit includes a delay unit for delaying a first clock signal to output a second clock signal and a clock-signal output unit. The clock-signal output unit includes two transistors which use the first and second clock signals as the inputs of respective gates and an inverter circuit for inverting a signal output from a common drain of the transistors to output a third clock signal. The delay unit delays the first clock signal so that the first clock signal falling appears at a timing at which the duty cycle thereof becomes 50%. The two transistors in the clock-signal output unit output, as the third clock signal, a ground voltage and a source voltage as the signal from the common drain in response to the rising of the first clock signal and the falling of the second clock signal, respectively.

    摘要: A comb filter easily implementable as a monolithic LSI without using a large-capacitance capacitor is provided. A comb-like frequency characteristic is realized by two delay circuits for delaying a signal for mutually different amounts of time and an operation circuit for deriving a sum or difference of the outputs thereof. An input select switch selectively outputs, instead of an image signal, a test signal, which is a DC signal having a predetermined amplitude, during a blanking interval of the image signal. A detector controls the gain of a variable-gain amplifier, provided for the output of either one of the delay circuits, in accordance with a difference between the output signal of the comb filter in response to the test signal and a predetermined reference signal. That is to say, the gain of the comb filter is controlled by using a stable test signal as a control signal, instead of a burst signal contained in an unstable image signal. Accordingly, a large-capacitance capacitor, which has been required for stabilizing the control signal, is no longer necessary.
