An ultra low-power transmission system for use with a battery-operated device. The ultra-low power transmission system comprises an encoded transmitter and an addressable ultra -low power receiver. The ultra low-power receiver comprises an RF front-end block for receiving and demodulating an incoming RF signal. The RF front-end block includes an amplifier for amplifying the received RF signal and a frequency discriminator for demodulating the amplified RF signal to produce a baseband signal.

A method and apparatus for optically clocked optoelectronic track and hold (“OCOETH”) device. The OCOETH device includes a diode bridge, input node, at least two current sources and at least two photodetectors. The input node is operatively coupled to the diode bridge and can receive an analog input signal. The at least two current sources are operatively coupled to the diode bridge and can forward bias the diode bridge. The at least two photodetectors are operatively coupled to the diode bridge and can receive an optical input clocking signal, and can reverse bias and forward bias the diode bridge in response to the optical input clocking signal. The hold capacitor is operatively coupled to the diode bridge and can track the analog input signal when the diode bridge is forward biased, and can hold the analog input signal when the diode bridge switches from forward biased to reverse biased.

An IC laser array package is provided wherein standard CMOS integrated circuit (IC) processes are used for fabricating the controller for the laser array and wherein p-channel MOSFET devices are used as switches with the controller which short the anode of the selected laser in the array (connected to the drain of the p-channel MOSFET switches) to ground. In this structure, the modulating signal from the driver input can be applied to the common cathode substrate of the laser array bar in a standard package, along with a negative dc bias current provided from the negative voltage dc bias package pin through an inductor, in the same built-in bias tee manner previously used with a standard single-laser 14-pin package. Because the p-channel MOSFETs are used only as switches, their ft values are typically not a material hindrance to the circuit operation.

The disclosure is directed to an improved circuit and method which utilizes a plurality of generally planar diamond substrate layers. Electronic circuit elements are mounted on each of the substrate layers, and the substrate layers are disposed in a stack. Heat exchange means can be coupled generally at the edges of the substrate layers. In a disclosed embodiment, a multiplicity of generally planar diamond substrate layers and a multiplicity of generally planar spacer boards are provided. Each of the substrate layers has mounted thereon a multiplicity of electronic elements and conductive means for coupling between electronic elements. In general, at least some of the electronic elements on the substrate layers comprise integrated circuit chips. The substrate layers and spacer boards are stacked in alternating fashion so that spacer boards are interleaved between adjacent substrate layers. Each of the spacer boards has a multiplicity of electrical conductors extending through its planar thickness to effect coupling between electronic components on the substrate layers on its opposing sides. The extremely high thermal conductivity of diamond permits adequate heat removal from the defined three-dimensional circuit structure by heat exchange means that do not substantially interfere with electronic element density, with vertical interconnect density, or with the desire for small physical size.

A V.sub.BB input threshold potential with feedback circuitry is used to stabilize all of the logic inputs on an GaAs IC to ECL compatible levels over a normal temperature range and normal power supply variations. The system called "V.sub.BB -Feedback" uses "zero translation delay" direct Capacitor Diode Fet Logic (CDFL) inputs. This is an extension of the CDFL circuit approach in which the voltage across the input level shift circuitry on all inputs is adjusted to maintain a threshold voltage equal to the dc potential on an "extra" V.sub.BB input in spite of variations of temperature, power supply voltages or processing parameters such as MESFET pinchoff voltage. A dc potential (V.sub.BB) is applied to the "extra" V.sub.BB input, which is an additional input that is essentially identical to the actual logic inputs. All of the logic input threshold voltages are then slaved to the V.sub.BB dc potential applied to the "extra" V.sub.BB input. ECL compatability is accomplished by combining a reasonably compliant, but uniform, CDFL voltage shifter with feedback circuitry to maintain the shift voltages at proper levels thereby achieving the desired input logic threshold.

A data communication system for general purposes having a new ternary carrier frequency shift keying (TCSK) signal. The system is applied to a utility load control by transmission of a sub-carrier of an FM broadcast channel. It is decoded by a receiver, SCA decoder, TCSK filter and a two level or binary converter and used to communicate to a pre-programmed microprocessor which enables various load control functions to be performed. The general system also is given for a QPSK (quadraphase shift keying) operating system.A data transmission filter is split between the transmitter and receiver and is operated in cascade to give individual interference filtering at each end of the transmission while also providing combined action and wave shaping. A high accuracy FM decoder using zero crossing detection enables data recovery with simple circuits. A novel random time load restoration circuit for ramp-up is disclosed. A fail safe relay operator is also disclosed.The TCSK employs a novel 19 character hex code format which is 8 bit microprocessor compatible and directly usable for other purposes such as ASCII message transmission. Both QPSK and TCSK systems offer command structures of variable length so as to permit truncation of message and reduce total message transmit time.
