    摘要: A phase locked loop (PLL) is provided having a filter with a programmable wide and narrow bandwith. When PLL circuit operation is initiated or when the operational frequency of the PLL is changed by a substantial amount, a phase detector functions to force the filter in a wide bandwith mode to allow fast circuit operation in the transient mode. After the PLL output has settled close to a predetermined frequency, the number of times the output frequency varies above and below the predetermined frequency before reaching a locked state is detected and counted. After the output frequency has varied above and below the predetermined frequency a predetermined number of times, the filter is automatically switched to a low bandwith mode to allow the PLL to operate in a stable manner.

    摘要: A circuit, for incorporation into an electrical system, for providing a clock signal frequency to other circuitry such as a microprocessor and/or co-processor circuitry. The clock signal frequency varies its speed depending on the available voltage and current from a host power source. The circuit maximizes clock frequency by lowering the available voltage and increasing the available supply current. The circuit can therefore provide a higher clock speed and more current for switching transistors.

    摘要: A battery-backed ancillary power-management chip, in combination with a battery-backed microprocessor or microcontroller, permits a low-power system to achieve a zero-power standby mode with full nonvolatility. The ancillary chip contains transmission gates which can cut off the connection between two other chips if one of them is turned off. This avoids problems of power leakage, substrate pumping, etc., when two chips which are connected together can be independently powered up or powered down.Also provided is a portable data module, which includes a microprocessor and a large LCD display. The disclosed inventions permit the user to operate the display without powering up the microprocessor (to preserve a complex display, e.g. when the user has provided no inputs for a certain length of time), or to operate the microprocessor without the display (e.g. for data transfer or reduction operations).

    摘要: A microcomputer having predetermined clock pulse frequency requirements receives pulses from a multiplying type frequency synthesizer which utilizes a reference frequency less than the largest of the predetermined requirements. The synthesizer is responsive to program instructions to generate clock pulse frequencies sufficient to satisfy the requirement for immediate execution of programmed tasks. As the requirements change, the synthesizer responds to provide only the frequency required. Thus, the power dissipated by the microcomputer system is minimized.

    摘要: A Random Access Memory having a fast Clear operation includes a cell array (10) which has a plurality of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. Each of the rows is selected by word lines (12) and the data is output on column lines (14). Each of the word lines (12) is selected by a row decode circuit (20) or a Clear signal through OR gates (22). The Clear signal selects all of the word lines (12) such that each row in the cell array (10) is selected. The bit line associated with each column are pulled to ground through an N-channel transistor (36) and a bit line bar pulled high through a P-channel transistor (38). In addition, the V.sub.CC supply to the array (10) is decoupled from the memory cells by a P-channel transistor (40).

    摘要: In system capable of self turn-off, a circuit arrangement for providing a controlled turn-off includes a detecting circuit for detecting actuation of a turn-off switch, thereby providing a turn-off authorization signal. A turn-off protection circuit is coupled to the detecting circuit and a controller is coupled to the turn-off protect circuit and the detecting circuit. The controller disables the turn-off protect circuit when the turn-off authorization is received and present. The controller generates a turn-off signal for powering the system down after the turn-off protect circuit has been disabled.

    摘要: A method for allowing the user of a data processor having a power-down instruction to selectively disable the power-down instruction. In the preferred circuit, the user stores a special code in a control register indicating that the power-down instruction is to be disabled. Upon a power-down instruction being subsequently executed, the processor is precluded by the code from turning off the oscillator which provides the system clocks. The method and circuit allows the code to be stored in the control register once and only once between system resets.
