摘要:
A circuit's performance may vary based on various factors such as, for example, process, voltage, and/or temperature. In one embodiment, a circuit includes an input terminal which receives an input signal, a delay selection section which delays the input signal by a delay amount selected by a performance variation indicator, an impedance selection section which outputs the delayed input signal as a compensated delayed signal, where the impedance selection section uses a driver impedance amount selected by the performance variation indicator, and an output terminal which outputs the compensated delayed signal. The circuit may also include a ring oscillator, a frequency counter which provides a count value which indicates a number of rising edges of an output of the ring oscillator which occur during a period of a reference frequency, and a decoder which uses the count value to output the performance variation indicator.

An input voltage circuit comprises an input transistor having a control electrode for receiving a variable input voltage, a voltage detection transistor having a current electrode coupled to a current electrode of the input transistor forming a first node, and a current source coupled to a second current electrode of the voltage detection transistor forming a second node. The input voltage circuit further comprises a variable voltage drop transistor having a first current electrode coupled to the first node, a control electrode coupled to the second node and a second current electrode coupled to an output node, wherein the voltage detection transistor detects a variation in the variable input voltage and provides a signal to the variable voltage drop transistor. The variable voltage drop transistor generates a voltage drop proportional to the variation in the variable input voltage to ensure a substantially constant output at the output node.

A signal sampling circuit and method uses a compensating capacitor (30) connected between a ground terminal and an output of an operational amplifier (12) to permit noise error to be applied to both electrodes of a separate output sampling capacitor (18). The noise error component is generated from high frequency noise coupled to the sampling capacitor via a semiconductor substrate. Compensation occurs during a sampling phase and an output operational amplifier (14) is used to filter any high frequency noise during a hold phase.

Two storage capacitors connected in parallel with a constant current source in a charging mode and connected in series in a second mode to increase output voltage. A comparator senses the amplitude of the output voltage and controls the current supplied to the capacitors in the charging mode to increase or decrease the output voltage to coincide with a predetermined amplitude.

This invention relates to a bias current control circuit which drives a power MOS transistor. Since the power MOS transistor has a large capacitance which is formed between a gate and a channel, it is needed to provide a circuit which is able to sufficiently supply a drive current to the gate. Such a circuit increases a consumption current because the circuit has to always flow the current to drive the gate. This invention provides a circuit which cut the consumption current in the circuit when the transistor is not driven, and increases a consumption current in the circuit in order to keep a gate current when the transistor is driven.

摘要:
A current boost module receives a signal from the input and the output of a buffer to determine whether the buffer is transitioning between logic states. When the buffer is transitioning, a boost current is provided to a load connected to the buffer output to supplement the current from buffer output, thereby facilitating transition of a signal at the load. The current boost module can shut down the boost current before the signal at the load completes its transition from one logic state to the other.
