    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for selecting, among input signals, those which are time-spaced from each other by more than a predetermined time interval. Clock pulses are continuously applied to a pulse counter, and a predetermined count signal is produced each time the counter reaches a predetermined count. The counter is reset upon occurrence of either an input signal or a predetermined count signal. The order of occurrence of the input signals and of the predetermined count signals is memorized, and a validation signal is produced for each input signal which is directly preceded and followed by a predetermined count signal. Signals distorted by pile-up effect can thus be rejected.

    摘要: In order to detect the eminent reception of a valid bit serial message, a preamble constituting a string of predetermined number of clock pulses only is employed. Prior to detection of the preamble, each clock and data pulse from the raw data stream is applied to the increment input of a resettable counter. Each clock pulse is also used to trigger a monostable multivibrator which issues a pulse approximating three-fourths of a cell period. This pulse is ANDed with the next subsequent data period, and if a data "1" bit is detected, the satisfied condition is used to reset the counter. Thus, the counter can only reach a terminal count if a valid preamble is received. When the counter attains its terminal count, a latch flip-flop is set and a resultant "separation enable" signal issues to activate straightforward logic for separating the incoming clock and data pulses. Setting the latch also disables the preamble detection logic until an "end of data field" code is sensed whereupon the counter and latch are both reset to resume observation of the raw data stream for a preamble.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to improved detectors for use in digital charge coupled device (CCD) applications as, for example, in a multiplexing system, for recreating full logic voltage levels by detecting extremely small amounts of charge available in CCD bits. This is accomplished by means of a flip-flop circuit wherein opposite nodes of the flip-flop are precharged to a predetermined intermediate level between a logical 0 and a logical 1, one of the nodes being a reference node and the other node being coupled to a CCD storage device. During sampling of the bits being read out from the CCD storage device, the detecting node of the flip-flop will have its voltage altered, either upwardly or downwardly, from the charge on the CCD being read out. This will cause an imbalance in the flip-flop and cause the flip-flop to conduct on only one side thereof, this being determined by the charge detected. In this way, a very low level signal can be detected and amplified to a full logic voltage level for readout.

    摘要: A digital circuit determines the maximum frequency present in a first pulse train and indicates when a selected fraction of this maximum frequency is exceeded in subsequent pulse trains. The invention comprises a prescaler circuit for the purpose of reducing the frequency of the input pulse train to a level suitable for a digital period-measuring circuit; a digital period-measurement circuit that measures the period of the output of the prescaler and compares that measured value to a stored value; a frequency-multiplier circuit that produces the reference frequency used to measure the period in the period-measurement circuit; and a control circuit to operate the circuits in a first mode for storing a digital value representative of the maximum frequency present in the input pulse train, and in a second mode for comparing the frequency of subsequent pulse trains with the value stored in the first mode. The control circuit produces an output signal when the frequency of the subsequent pulse train exceeds a selected fraction of the maximum frequency present in the first pulse train.

    摘要: A low power detector circuit consists of the basic four MOS transistors of an MOS flip-flop and includes another pair of MOS transistors as well as voltage equalization circuitry. The added pair of transistors and the cross coupling of the gates of two of the other transistors results in a detector circuit which automatically limits power dissipation at least by the time the proper output signal levels are attained.

    摘要: Double transition recorded information, such as phase encoded or frequency encoded information, is detected by use of a digital tracking oscillator which is responsive to either the data or the clock transitions of the recorded information and which produces a string of pulses in response thereto having a frequency which changes dependent upon the frequency of occurrence of the information. Clock pulses, and accordingly, a window, are thus generated, bracketing the data substantially in accordance with predetermined criteria, thereby enabling effective detection of the data included in the information. The digital tracking oscillator is adaptive to different propagation delays and drifts which may be introduced by the various circuit elements and thus needs no further adjustment therefor and may accordingly be manufactured on a single integrated circuit chip. The oscillator is also adaptive to changes in the frequency of the reading of the recorded information. This adaptive technique thus improves upon the effective detection of the data included in the information.
