    摘要: Electronic devices, and methods, for transmitting, transferring and/or conveying a multi-bit digital signal as a voltage signal via a single pin. Devices and methods according to the invention substantially reduce the pin count of a device because inputting of a multi-bit digital signal preferably does not use more than one input pin. In addition, the speed of transmission is improved because the multi-bit digital signal is transmitted as a voltage signal substantially at one time as opposed to serially.

    摘要: Methods and circuits implementing a constant-current/constant-voltage circuit architecture are provided. The methods and circuits preferably provide a charging system that provides current to a load using a fixed current until the load is charged. When the load is charged, the methods and circuits preferably provide a variable current to the load in order to maintain the voltage level across the load. This variable current varies according to the voltage across the load. In one embodiment of the invention, a constant power current may also be used as one of the load charging currents. The constant power current may act as a limit on the charging circuit's power output.

    摘要: A testing procedure may determine whether a monolithic voltage reference device meets a temperature drift specification. A first non-room temperature output voltage of the monolithic voltage reference device may be measured while the monolithic voltage reference device is at a first non-room temperature which is substantially different than room temperature. First non-room temperature information may be stored in a memory within the monolithic voltage reference device which is a function of the first non-room temperature output voltage. A second non-room temperature output voltage of the monolithic voltage reference device may be measured while the monolithic voltage reference device is at a second non-room temperature which is substantially different than the room temperature and the first non-room temperature. Second non-room temperature information may be stored in the memory without destroying the first non-room temperature information which is a function of the second non-room temperature output voltage. A determination may be made whether the monolithic voltage reference device meets the temperature drift specification based on a computation that is a function of both the first non-room temperature information and the second non-room temperature information.

    摘要: Serial analog-to-digital converters (ADC) in which power down and power up modes are activated by two dual-purpose input signals are provided. The ADCs of the invention eliminate the need for a dedicated power down input line as found on typical serial ADCs. When commanded to do so, the ADC enters into one of two power down modes, NAP or SLEEP. In NAP mode, only those portions of the ADC circuit which consume current and which are capable of waking up almost instantaneously are powered down. In SLEEP mode, the entire ADC circuit is powered down. When commanded to do so, the ADC enters into a power up mode, applying current to every portion of the ADC circuit. Wake-up from the NAP mode takes place almost instantaneously. Wake-up from the SLEEP mode requires additional time. From either mode, a signal is generated when the ADC conversion circuit, which preferably includes a reference voltage generator, has stabilized sufficiently for the ADC to perform analog-to-digital conversion.
