摘要:
An analog delay circuit which includes an analog memory circuit wherein a plurality of memory cells each including a memory capacitor and a selection switch for the memory capacitor are arranged in a matrix includes row switches provided for the individual columns for individually being driven by row selection signals. A same clock signal from a clock generation circuit is supplied commonly to an X direction scanning circuit and a Y direction scanning circuit. The number of stages of registers of the X direction scanning circuit and the number of stages of registers of the Y direction scanning circuit are set so that they have no common divisor other than 1 Consequently, when the memory cells are to be selectively scanned, a same selection condition can be provided to all of the memory cells without relying upon the positions of the memory cells, and the parasitic capacitance connected to a signal write/read terminal is reduced.

A noise reduction circuit has a main signal path and an auxiliary signal path having the characteristics of a high-pass filter with a controllable cut-off frequency, a control circuit varies the cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter as a function of the auxiliary signal path output. The auxiliary signal path current is derived as a current source output so that the summing of the main signal and auxiliary signal can be accomplished by a single operational amplifier, without requiring a buffer amplifier as in known noise reduction circuits. The auxiliary signal path includes a voltage-to-current converter having differential inputs and differential outputs, with a PN junction pair and at least first and second common emitter transistor pairs connected to the differential outputs. The output current of the first common emitter transistor pair is fed back to a differential input terminal of the voltage-to-current converter, and the auxiliary signal path output is derived from the second emitter common transistor pair.

A gain control circuit particularly suitable for compressing or expanding the dynamic range of an audio signal, and thereby reducing noise produced during recording and playback comprises an input circuit receiving an input signal, first and second differential amplifiers each supplied from the input circuit with a signal derived from the input signal, with the amplifying elements of each being complementary to the amplifying elements of the other, a first pair of transistors having their emitters coupled to the output of the first differential amplifier and a second pair of transistors having their emitters coupled to the output of the second differential amplifier. The transistors of each pair are of the same conductivity type as the amplifying elements of the associated differential amplifier. The collectors of the transistors of each pair are jointed respectively to the collectors of the corresponding transistors of the other pair. Control voltage input terminals are respectively connected to one transistor of each pair and an opposite transistor of the other pair. A feedback signal is applied from the joined collectors of the one transistors to the input circuit, and an output current is applied from the joined collectors of the other transistors to an output stage which can include a load resistor or a current-to-voltage converter circuit. This arrangement prevents variation in total static current when gain is varied, thereby achieving a superior signal-to-noise characteristic.

A switching circuit having a current source connected to first, second and third lines in order to supply first and second current signals whose total amount remains constant to the first and second current lines, respectively. The current source further supplies a constant bias I.sub.B to the third line. First and second diode pairs are respectively connected in parallel in opposite directions between the first and third signal current lines, and between the second and third signal lines, respectively. First and second transistors are connected to the three signal current lines, respectively, with the base voltages of these transistors kept constant at the same voltage level. Accordingly, current passing through the first and second diode pairs change flow direction in accordance with the incremental variations of current flowing in the first and second lines. As a result, the output voltages at the collectors of the first and second transistors represent any of the three prescribed states in accordance with the extent of the incremental current variation in the first and second lines.

A sine wave multiplication circuit multiplies an analog input signal by n (n is an integer equal to or greater than 2) weighting coefficients each having a unique value. The polarity of the analog input signal multiplied by one of the n weighting coefficients is changed over. Further, changeover among the n weighting coefficients and of the polarity is performed after every sampling period equal to ½k (k is an integer, and 2k is equal to or greater than 6 but equal to or smaller than 4n) of one period of the sine wave signal by which the analog input signal is multiplied. As a result, a staircase waveform having 2n positive and negative stairs is generated while unnecessary harmonic wave components in the proximity of the sine wave signal by which the analog input signal is multiplied can be reduced.
