摘要： A detector circuit (301) is utilized in a DC to DC converter (300) having an inductor (356) coupled to a switch (358) for interrupting an electric current through the inductor (356), thereby allowing the inductor (356) to transfer stored energy to a capacitive load (364). The detector circuit (301) includes a capacitor (302) coupled to the inductor (356) for generating a transient current (428) in response to a completion of a transfer of stored energy from the inductor (356). The detector circuit (301) further includes a reference current generator (306) for generating a reference current, and a summing node (304) coupled to the capacitor (302) and coupled to the reference current generator (306) for summing the transient current (428) and the reference current. The two summed currents form a transient control current (436) responsive to the completion (424) of the transfer of stored energy from the inductor (356).

摘要： A combined radio pager/analog timepiece that may be worn on the wrist of the user is described. The device includes a stepping motor to periodically advance the second hand of the watch portion. The voltage pulse device signals to the timepiece are effectively inhibited during those intervals when the paging receiver is activated. Receiver activation occurs so as to monitor its communication channel or actually process an intended message if its unique address has been received and detected. These inhibited, i.e. delayed, voltage device pulses are later applied to the stepping motor on an accelerated basis to bring the timepiece to current time status.

摘要： A data limiter in a paging receiver for converting an analog signal to a digital signal, the data limiter having a variable time constant. The data limiter includes an amplifying circuit and an integrating circuit. The amplifying circuit, being responsive to the analog input signal generated from a receiving circuit of the paging receiver, generates a reference signal depending upon a variable bias current input to the amplifying circuit. The integrating circuit, being responsive to the reference signal, generates a comparison signal depending upon a variable gain input. The amplifying circuit responsive to the comparison signal compares the comparison signal to the input signal for generating a digital output signal. A processing circuit of the paging receiver generates a first control signal for modifying the variable bias current input and a second output signal for modifying the variable gain input. Additionally, the processing circuit generates a third control signal being applied to the integrating circuit for effecting a storage of the comparison signal in the integrating circuit.

摘要： A high current driver (100) for driving a high current load (110) in an electronic device powered by a battery (112) comprises a voltage reference (104) for generating a reference voltage, and a drive current controller (102, 302) responsive to a drive control signal for selectively switching the drive current controller (102, 302) from an active state for supplying current to the high current load (110), to an-inactive state for inhibiting the supply of current to the high current load (110). The drive current controller (102, 302) further controls the amount of current supplied to the high current load (110) when the battery (112) terminal voltage is substantially equal to the reference voltage. A load control element (108) is coupled to the drive current controller (102, 302) and drives the high current load (110) when the drive current controller (102, 302) is in the active state.

摘要： A DC-DC converter regulates the maximum current through an inductor. The DC-DC converter operates within a paging receiver and boosts a voltage from a single cell battery to substantially 3.1 VDC in order to operate circuits which require more voltage than that produced by the single cell battery. Such circuits include CMOS microcomputers and code plug. The DC-DC converter is current regulated thus providing for improved power conversion efficiency. The DC-DC converter is active when the voltage is below a minimum voltage and inactive when above a maximum voltage. The DC-DC converter provides for a wide range of load currents from the converted voltage without being controlled by a microcomputer and while delivering the power to the loads with an improved efficiency.
