The tunable active inductor includes a first transistor having a source connected to a power supply voltage and a gate connected to first bias voltage; a second transistor having a drain connected to a drain of the first transistor and a gate connected to a second bias voltage; a third transistor having a drain connected to a source of the second transistor and a source connected to a ground voltage; a fourth transistor having a drain connected to a gate of the third transistor, a source connected to the ground voltage and a gate connected to a third bias voltage; a fifth transistor having a source connected to the drain of the fourth transistor and a drain connected to the power supply voltage.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes spaced apart twisted bit line pairs, a respective one of which includes a spaced apart twisted area. A conductive line overlaps the respective twisted areas of the spaced apart twisted line pairs. The conductive line can extend parallel to the memory device word lines, and can provide a power supply ground and/or signal line.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for coarse-sensing modules that are operative for providing initial determinations of spectrum occupancy. The coarse-sensing modules may include a wavelet waveform generator providing a plurality of wavelet pulses, and a multiplier that combines the wavelet pulses with an input signal to form a correlation signal. The coarse sensing modules may further include an integrator that receives the generated correlation signal from the multiplier, where the integrator determines correlation values from integrating the correlation signal, and a spectrum recognition module in communication with the integrator that determines an available spectrum segment based at least in part on the correlation values. In addition, the spectrum recognition module may determine an available spectrum segment by utilizing information from a spectrum usage database, where the spectrum usage database includes information associated with one or more known signal types.
Abstract:
A light emitting package is disclosed that can generate a white light while controlling Red, Green and Blue light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) simultaneously. In the light emitting package, a plurality of LEDs are connected in series to one another. The plurality of LEDs are responsive to one driving voltage. Currents flowing through the plurality of LEDs are controlled by a current adjuster. Consequently, the plurality of LEDs are driven by the currents different from one another in amount.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an ultra wide band signal generator. The ultra wide band signal generator generates a signal of a required frequency using a harmonic signal having a frequency range of a ultra wide band (UWB). The ultra wide band signal generator includes an active inductor for generating harmonic signals having power strengths substantially equal to each other within a non-linear operation range, the tunable active inductor capable of tuning a value thereof, an oscillator for amplifying and outputting the harmonic signals generated from the active inductor by frequency-transiting the harmonic signals into high frequency bands, and a filter for selectively outputting one of the harmonic signals output from the oscillator.
Abstract:
In the present invention, a semiconductor device includes a first insulation layer formed on a semiconductor substrate, an elevating pad formed on the first insulation layer, a second insulation layer covering the elevating pad, a plurality of fuses formed on the second insulation layer and over the elevating pad, a third insulation layer formed on the fuses, and an opening formed in a top portion of the third insulation layer and over the fuses. With this invention, the horizontal level of the fuses are elevated due to the existence of the elevating pad, which makes the distance between the fuse window and fuses be closer than that of the conventional and that reduces the step difference. Thus, a laser beam can reliably blow out all of the fuses reliably.
