    摘要: A calibration circuit for calibrating an adjustable capacitance of a circuit having a time constant depending on the adjustable capacitance, the calibration circuit generating a calibration signal for calibrating the capacitance and including a calibration loop, suitable to carry out a calibration cycle in several sequential steps. The calibration circuit includes a controllable capacitance for receiving a control signal and including an array of switched capacitors selectively activated by the control signal to connect to a first common node that conducts a voltage value depending on the total capacitance value of the activated capacitors; an assessment unit for comparing this voltage value with a reference voltage to output a logic signal that can transition between first and second logic levels; a control and timing unit to receive the logic signal and change the control signal to carry out a subsequent calibration step that is provided at the end of the integration interval during a comparison interval of a preset duration, which allows a transition of the logic signal to occur prior to the beginning of the consecutive calibration step.

    摘要: A voltage multiplier includes a first charge transfer capacitor designed to take and transfer electrical charges from the input terminal to the output terminal, a second capacitor for charge storage connected between the output terminal and ground and an output voltage stabilization circuit. The output voltage stabilization circuit includes an integrator designed to generate a continuous voltage corresponding to the difference between a reference voltage and the output voltage of the voltage multiplier. The continuous voltage is applied to one terminal of said charge transfer capacitor so that the potential at the other terminal of the capacitor changes proportionally to the output voltage of the voltage multiplier.

    摘要: The circuit includes a filter to which an analog signal is applied, a quantizer driven by the filter, a sampler at a desired frequency driven by the quantizer and a PCM encoder driven by the sampler. The quantizer generates a quantize signal according to the received analog signal and further generates a difference signal according to the difference between a quantized signal and the analog signal. A feedback circuit feeds back the difference signal from the quantizer to a stage of the filter so that the overall transfer function from the input of the feedback circuit to the output of the filter is equivalent to a low pass filtering.

    摘要: A cell library for the design of integrated circuits, for example using CMOS technology, includes cells which define circuit modules in rectangular areas having an identical side. Two traces are provided which extend at right-angles to the identical side and which define strips for connection to the supply, at least one of which is in contact with the source regions of MOS transistors of a CMOS pair. In order to permit the design of integrated circuits in which the analog parts are insensitive to the noise induced in the substrate by the digital parts and in which it is possible to reduce the current absorption of the digital parts in stand-by mode, the cell library also provides a group of cells in which there is provided at least one additional trace which defines an additional strip for connection to the outside and which is in contact with the body regions of the MOS transistors of the CMOS pair.
