    Abstract: Binary indications are converted to an analog representation with significant reduction in ringing at the transitions between successive binary indications and in the period during each binary indication. The binary indications are disposed in a row-and-column matrix to provide a thermometer code. Each stage of the converter includes a decoder and latch arranged so the decoder inputs settle before the latch is set by the clock pulses. The stages are implemented in complementary CMOS. Complementary transistors are biased so one transistor of the pair is driven to the rail while the other transistor of the pair floats. A dummy CMOS transistor is used to balance the number of transistors in the decoder paths.

    Abstract: A low noise charge pump for use in a PLL-based frequency synthesizer. The charge pump includes a timing controller and a plurality of charge-pump circuits. The timing controller receives a reference signal to generate a plurality of enable signals having non-overlapping phases, where the frequency of each enable signal is equal to that of the reference signal divided by the number of the enable signals. The charge-pump circuits are coupled in parallel and operate in a time-interleaved manner according to the enable signals. In response to a first and second control signal, the charge-pump circuits are able to generate respective output currents which are multiplexed together to form a charge-pump current.

    Abstract: An external aquarium filter comprises a flow resistive, porous member disposed between a partition wall and the filter housing. Responsive to stopping the pump, water in the intake chamber begins to reversely flow out of the intake chamber into the aquarium tank through the intake tube due to siphoning, water in the filtering chamber flows back to the intake chamber through the porous member, the reverse flow is faster than water flowing into the intake chamber such that the siphoning breaks when the water level of the intake chamber drops below that of the filtering chamber, the water in the filtering chamber continues to flow back to the intake chamber through the porous member until both the filtering chamber and the intake chamber have the same water level, and sufficient priming water is thus stored in the intake chamber for a future restarting of the filter.

    Abstract: Provided is a circuit to perform single-ended to differential conversion while providing common-mode voltage control. The circuit includes a converter to convert a single-ended signal to a differential signal and a stabilizing circuit adapted to receive the differential signal. The stabilizing circuit includes a sensor configured to sense a common-mode voltage level of the differential signal and a comparator having an output port coupled to the converter. The comparator is configured to compare the differential signal common-mode voltage level with a reference signal common-mode voltage level and produce an adjusting signal based upon the comparison. The adjusting signal is applied to the converter via the output port and is operative to adjust a subsequent common-mode voltage level of the differential signal.
