摘要:
A circuit particularly useful in AGC systems, produces an output current which is proportional to the difference between a signal voltage and a reference voltage which is practically independent of temperature. By being a function of a ratio among actual values of integrated resistances and of a ratio among substantially temperature-stable voltages. The effects of temperature dependent value of integrated resistances and of temperature-dependent electrical characteristics of integrated semiconductor devices are compensated in order to produce the desired temperature-independent output current which may usefully be utilized for implementing an automatic gain control.

A circuit device for phasing an oscillator, which comprises a multivibrator having a transistor pair with the emitters coupled through a capacitor, comprises a normally open electronic switch controlled by a drive signal to close and inhibit the oscillator. This switch connects a voltage divider to the base of a transistor connected to one of the emitters to interrupt the loop positive feedback of the oscillator upon the voltage across the capacitor reaching a predetermined value.

An electronic comparator device with hysteresis, being of a type which comprises a differential cell having a signal input, an output, and a threshold input, further comprises a second differential cell having one input connected to said output and the other input connected to a controlling circuit portion which has an output connected to the threshold input to reduce the threshold voltage value stepwise on the first change-over of the output of the comparator.

The circuit structure comprises a series of storage units, a data bus, an address bus, a line for a reading/writing signal, a precharge logic suitable for precharging the address bus with a precharge address and a precharge sensor suitable for enabling the operation of address decoders of the storage units with a given delay with respect to the end of the precharge. The structure also comprises a flip-flop for controlling the address buses and the precharge logic as well as a delay circuit capable of producing a stop-writing signal with a delay calculated on the basis of the time necessary for the writing of a datum in a storage register of the storage units.

In a dynamic automatic loop for control of the overall gain of an input circuit of a superheterodyne receiver, the response time of the HF-AGC circuit of the TUNER, in response to the action of the TUNER DELAY circuit activated by the IF-AGC in the case of autonomously uncontrollable abrupt increases in the level of the antenna signal from the same HF-AGC of the TUNER, is markedly reduced using an additional TUNER DELAY PLUS circuit able to absorb for a determined interval of time, a discharge current from the storage capacitor the control voltage of the HF-AGC in addition to the discharge current absorbed by the existing TUNER DELAY circuit. The relevant intensity of this additional discharge current and its duration are optimized by way of suitable circuital arrangements in the design of said TUNER DELAY PLUS circuit. The response time is reduced without modifying the time constant of the HF-AGC, which cannot be freely reduced because of inter- and cross-modulation problems.

A control circuit for an oscillator comprising a multivibrator with transistors having their emitters connected in common and being supplied corresponding currents on respective legs, comprises a circuit structure adapted to produce on output terminals, on the one side, a current which is proportional to a reference current according to a predetermined parameter, and on the other side, a second current in turn correlated to the reference current as a function of said parameter, thereby to modify the oscillator duty cycle for a given operating frequency.

A method of demodulating multi-standard TV signals consists of providing a plurality of signals at a frequency which is a multiple of a reference frequency whose value is a common submultiple of the frequencies of the multi-standard signals. Thereafter, the signal to be demodulated is multiplied by one of said plural signals having a frequency which differs therefrom by a value equal to the reference frequency; by filtering the result of the multiplication, a signal is obtained at the reference frequency but corresponding in amplitude to the one to be demodulated.
