    摘要: A circuit comprises a cascode core circuit and a current adjustor circuit. The cascode core circuit has an output node and a current path (ID). The current adjustor circuit is configured to change a current on the current path in response to a change in a voltage at the output node. The cascode core circuit comprises a first transistor, a second transistor, and a third transistor. A first terminal of the first transistor is coupled to a second terminal of the second transistor and to a third terminal of the third transistor. A first terminal of the second transistor is configured as the output node. A first terminal of the third transistor is coupled to a third terminal of the second transistor. The current path is through the first terminal of the third transistor.

    摘要: A control system with a serial interface is provided. The control system includes a programmable database, a first driver, at least one second driver, and a controller. A data is written into the programmable database through a programming method. The first driver is coupled to the programmable database via the serial interface. The at least one second driver is coupled with the first driver. The controller is coupled with the serial interface and accordingly coupled to the programmable database and the first driver via the serial interface. The controller captures the data from the programmable database through the serial interface and adjusts parameters of the first driver and the at least one second driver according to the data.

    摘要: An RC filter is calibrated to a desired cutoff frequency by initializing the filter with a cutoff frequency. An input signal is filtered by the RC filter to provide a filter output signal having phase and frequency values. The cutoff frequency of the RC filter is adjusted based on the phase and frequency values of the filter output signal if the phase and frequency values do not satisfy a predetermined condition. The filtering and adjusting are repeated until the phase and frequency values of the filter output signal satisfy the predetermined condition. A calibration apparatus has a frequency generator, a resistor-capacitor (RC) filter, a phase comparator, a frequency detector, and a state machine. The phase comparator, frequency detector, and state machine are configured to calibrate the RC filter to a cutoff frequency specified by the reference signal based on a filter output signal of the RC filter.
