摘要: A low capacitance n-channel analog switch circuit, a p-channel analog switch circuit, and a full CMOS transmission gate (T-gate) circuit are described. Resistive decoupling can be used to isolate the switch or T-gate from AC grounds. A semiconductor region that is separated from a body region of a pass field-effect transistor (FET), such as by an insulator, can be coupled to or driven to a voltage similar to the input voltage or other desired bias voltage (e.g., an operational amplifier output) to help reduce parasitic capacitance of the switch or T-gate. The switch or T-gate can help provide improved frequency bandwidth or frequency response. The switch can be useful in a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) or programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (PGIA) or other circuit in which excessive switch capacitance could degrade circuit performance.

摘要: A variable-gain power amplifying technique includes generating, with a network of one or more reactive components included in an oscillator, a first oscillating signal, and outputting, via one or more taps included in the network of the reactive components, a second oscillating signal. The second oscillating signal has a magnitude that is proportional to and less than the first oscillating signal. The power amplifying technique further includes selecting one of the first and second oscillating signals to use for generating a power-amplified output signal, and amplifying the selected one of the first and second oscillating signals to generate the power-amplified output signal.

摘要: In some embodiments, a method for processing an audio signal in an audio processing apparatus is disclosed. The method includes receiving an audio signal and a parameter, the parameter indicating a location of an auditory event boundary. An audio portion between consecutive auditory event boundaries constitutes an auditory event. The method further includes applying a modification to the audio signal based in part on an occurrence of the auditory event. The parameter may be generated by monitoring a characteristic of the audio signal and identifying a change in the characteristic.

摘要: Techniques for controlling one or more audio amplifiers in or associated with a device coupled on a local area network are disclosed. An example playback device includes a processor, an amplifier, a network interface, and a memory. The memory includes a software module that, when executed by the processor, causes the playback device to: operate in a first power mode in which the amplifier consumes a first amount of power; while operating in the first power mode, determine that a defined time has passed since receiving, via the network interface, a specified type of data packet; and based on determining that the defined time has passed since receiving the specified type of data packet, transition from operating in the first power mode to operate in a second power mode in which the amplifier consumes a second amount of power, wherein the first amount of power is greater than the second amount of power.

摘要: A bandgap reference circuit including a clamp circuit is provided. The bandgap reference circuit performs the calibration only for one time in a normal mode to store a control code of a reference generator of the clamp circuit. In a suspend mode, the control code is used for controlling the reference generator to cause the clamp circuit to provide a desired source voltage, and a bandgap reference voltage source is shut down to reduce the power consumption.

摘要: In conventional optical receivers the dynamic range is obtained by using variable gain amplifiers (VGA) with a fixed trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) gain. To overcome the SNR problems inherent in conventional receivers an improved optical receiver comprises an automatic gain control loop for generating at least one gain control signal for controlling gain of both the VGA and the TIA. Ideally, both the resistance and the gain of the TIA are controlled by a gain control signal.
