In accordance with the USB specifications, an accuracy of 0.25% is required for the data transmission rate. To generate a clock signal that allows this accuracy, the invention uses a clock generator unit that does not require a crystal. The clock generator unit includes an internal clock generator, a pulse counter that is connected to the internal clock generator, a pulse number memory, and a pulse filter. The pulse counter counts the number of internally generated clock pulses between two pulses of the synchronization signal, which are transmitted in accordance with the USB specification. The difference between the ascertained pulse number and a nominal pulse number is evaluated and is used for controlling the pulse-suppressing pulse filter. This results in a stabilized clock signal.

A circuit arrangement having a voltage regulator, which is designed to generate a regulated operating voltage, and a voltage monitoring unit, which is designed to monitor the regulated operating voltage for deviations from desired values. The voltage monitoring unit has a first detector, which is designed to cause an alarm signal to be generated when the first detector detects that the regulated operating voltage is outside a first voltage interval, and a second detector, which is designed to cause an initiator to initiate countermeasures which influence the regulated operating voltage when the second detector detects that the regulated operating voltage is outside a second voltage interval, which is inside the first voltage interval.

A voltage monitoring arrangement including a number of comparison devices, which corresponds to a prescribed number of voltage ranges, compares the value of an input voltage with a reference voltage and outputs a prescribed signal if the input voltage is within one of the prescribed voltage ranges. The voltage monitoring arrangement has a latch circuit which, when a latch signal is applied, establishes which voltage range the input voltage is currently in when the latch signal is applied, resulting in the arrangement having automatic voltage range reduction. The voltage monitoring arrangement has a monitoring unit which outputs a predetermined signal if the input voltage is outside the voltage range which exists when the latch signal is applied.
摘要:
The circuit contains a series regulator with an FET. A capacitor and a further FET, which is provided as a transfer gate and is driven by the POR signal, are connected in series between the source terminal, to which the external supply voltage is applied, and the gate connection. When the external voltage is applied, the FET opens, with the transfer gate switched on, corresponding to the charging of the capacitor which now takes place. Because this charging process takes a certain amount of time, overshoots in the internal voltage are prevented.
