    Abstract: An input stage for a video receiver includes a variable gain amplifier, an analog-to-digital converter for sampling a video signal and a digital processing unit for processing digital samples of the video signal. An analog regulating circuit sets an input potential at an input of the variable gain amplifier. A differential architecture is used for the variable gain amplifier and the digital analog converter. A conversion circuit between an input coupling capacitor and the variable gain amplifier allows generating the video signal on two channels in antiphase, which are centered on the common mode voltage. Such differential architecture allows reducing the amplitude of analog signals, which is particularly advantageous in the case of a low voltage supply delivering a few volts. In addition, linearity of the video signal processing is enhanced.

    Abstract: A programmable control interface is for circuits using complex commands. The programmable interface includes a memory for storing sampled commands and a sequencing circuit. The sequencing circuit is programmable. Thus, a processor downloads into the programmable interface a sequencing specific to the sequence of commands. Once the programmable interface has been programmed, the processor launches the start of the sequence and the programmable interface manages and controls in a standalone manner the inputs/outputs with the slave circuit. The management and control of the slave circuit is independent of any interrupt specific to the system. The programmable interface uses a software-type upgrade to interface with new slave circuits that may appear on the market.
