摘要:
A method and apparatus for fast digital filtering that requires only filter stages of first and second order. A desired rational filter transfer function is represented as a sum of first and second order intermediate transfer functions. A time dependent input signal is first fed in parallel into a plurality of first and second order intermediate recursive filter stages. Then, the outputs of the intermediate filter stages are summed up to an output filter signal that corresponds to the desired rational filter transfer function. The method and apparatus reduces the amount of calculational effort to the order of O(N), where N denotes the number of sampling points in the time domain, because the digital filtering is based on a discrete recursive convolution in the time domain.

A line driver (3) for transmitting data with high bit rates, in particular for wire-bound data transmission in the full-duplex process, comprises a differential pair with differential pair transistors (14, 15) for generating transmission impulses as a function of the data to be transmitted, whereby the transmission impulses are preferably output via cascode transistors (16, 17), each with the differential pair transistors (14, 15) forming a cascode circuit, onto the data transmission line (8, 9) connected to the line driver (3).

摘要:
A circuit arrangement to recover clock and data from a received signal comprises an electronic commutator for sampling the received signal in such a way that several sampling values of a bit cell transmitted with the received signal are distributed time-wise one after the other onto several output connections of the commutator device and emitted there in the form of corresponding intermediate signals. A first circuit combines a first group of intermediate signals of the commutator device into a first uniting signal, which serves as the basis for data recovery or comprises the recovered data signal, while a second circuit combines a second group of intermediate signals of the commutator device into a second uniting signal, which serves as the basis for clock recovery. The second uniting signal is fed to a phase regulator arrangement, which, dependent on this, sets the sampling phases assigned to the individual output connections of the commutator device.

A method and a device for generating a clock signal (Fout) are provided, wherein a digital phase difference signal (X) is formed depending on a phase difference between a reference clock signal (Fin) and a feedback signal (Ffb) derived from the clock signal (Fout) and wherein the digital phase difference signal (X) is digitally filtered, in order to form a digital filtered phase difference signal (U). A digitally controlled oscillator (5) is activated by a digital control signal dependent on the digital filtered phase difference signal (U) to generate the clock signal (Fout). With a device of this kind clock signals with frequencies in the gigahertz range can be generated with a minimum of analog circuit parts.

A voltage regulator is described, the output voltage of which depends on a drive to a transistor contained in the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator described is distinguished by the fact that it contains a stabilization circuit that can change the current flowing through the transistor. Such a voltage regulator is simple to configure and to implement and, with minimum intrinsic power requirement, is stable under all circumstances.

A control loop includes at least one phase detector configured to detect a phase shift of a feedback signal relative to a reference clock signal and output a correction signal on the basis of the phase shift detected. At least one control loop filter is configured to output, on the basis of the correction signal, a first control signal and a second control signal, the first control signal being substantially the same as the second control signal except that oscillations are suppressed in the second control signal. At least one first phase generator is configured to output a first clock signal on the basis of the first control signal and the first phase reference signal, wherein the first clock signal is transmitted at least partially as feedback signal to the phase detector. At least one second phase generator receives the second control signal and the first phase reference signal, wherein the second phase generator is functionally substantially the same as the first phase generator and is configured to output a second clock signal on the basis of the second control signal and the first phase reference signal.
