An off-chip receiver circuit for interfacing an integrated circuit of a 2.5 Volt CMOS technology to a 3.3 Volt LVTTL bus. The off-chip receiver includes protection circuitry for preventing overstressing of the gate oxide caused by undershoot/overshoot peaks of -1 volt to 6 volts on the input.
摘要:
A CMOS off-chip driver circuit and a method of operating the circuit are provided. The circuit has two pull-down transistors and two pull-up transistors, each pull-up transistor has a gate. A voltage source provides voltage at a logic-high output voltage of approximately 3.3 volts. An output terminal is provided. Initially, a logic-low output voltage is applied to the gate of each of the two pull-up transistors. A condition is detected in which the voltage of the output terminal is greater than a predetermined threshold voltage. The predetermined threshold voltage is between approximately 2.5 volts and approximately 3.3 volts. The voltage applied to the gate of each of the pull-up transistors is raised to an intermediate level that is greater than the logic-low output voltage and less than the logic-high output voltage while the condition is detected. The intermediate level may be approximately 1.5 volts. A clamping mechanism is provided for sinking current from the output terminal to the voltage source, when the voltage of the output terminal is greater than the logic-high output voltage. The clamping mechanism sources current to the output terminal from a ground conductor that provides the logic-low output voltage to the pull-down transistor, when the voltage of the output terminal is less than the logic-low output voltage.

摘要:
An impedance matching system and a network for impedance matching at a driver circuit output for high frequency input-output devices. The impedance matching network comprises an adjustable-length transmission line having a length adjusted in proportion to the magnitude of transients on the driver circuit output and an input impedance, which is purely reactive, and is a function of its length. The purpose of the adjustable-length transmission line is to reduce transient voltages by providing a matching impedance for the reactive component of the impedance of the receiver circuit to the driver circuit. In the preferred embodiment, the impedance matching network comprises two parallel conductive lines formed on the system card, shorted by a movable stub, and connected in parallel to the driver circuit. Optionally, the impedance matching network further comprises a control circuit which detects overshoots and undershoots on the driver circuit output and provides a control current proportional to the magnitude of overshoots and undershoots to an electromagnetic adjustment mechanism which provides a linear adjustment to the moveable stub proportional to the control current.

Sunvisors provided with vanity mirrors usually have the mirror, with or without illumination, fixed to the upper surface of the visor when in the stowed position, and to avoid undesirable reflections a cover is sometimes provided. Also, various switches are provided to control energization of the lighting means when present. The invention simplifies this kind of visor by arranging that the mirror is carried by a hinge (7b) near the lower margins of the visor to open out therefrom downwardly from a stowed position facing into a recess (11) in the upper surface of the visor. The lower edge of the visor may be relieved as at (12) to maximize the hingeing angle of the mirror so as to achieve compactness while satisfying visor safety requirements. The wire frame (7) of the visor may be joggled inwards at (7a) and (8a) to provide hinge pins and electrical connections (7b) and (8b) for the visor.

A topology for arranging a plurality of transistors between a signal source and an off-chip receiver, using a single power supply voltage. A pass through NFET has a gate controlled by a network comprised of two transistors arrayed between the power supply voltage and the drain of the NFET, which limits overshoots to the power supply voltage and reduces undershoots. Further reduction of undershoots is accomplished by an additional network of transistors, optimally including a PFET in series with the pass through NFET.

The present invention provides for x-ray imaging and ultrasound imaging of a body region of interest in a spatially correlatable manner. The resultant x-ray and ultrasound images may be combinatively employed to provide three-dimensional information regarding a location of interest within the body, and is particularly apt for use in the analysis/biopsy of potential lesions and suspicious masses in a female breast. The invention provides for direct body contact by an ultrasound imaging head, as well as targeted ultrasound imaging of a selected portion of the region from which x-ray images are obtained. A user interface system facilitates various procedures including ultrasound guided needle biopsy procedures.
