    摘要: A method for real-time computation of point-by-point apodization coefficients used for beam-forming includes storing apodization coefficients of receiving focus points in memory, and computing at least one of an included angle between a vector from a transducer element to a receiving point and a normal vector of the transducer element, and a trigonometric function value of the included angle. The method also includes addressing the memory storing the apodization coefficients according to the quantized included angle or trigonometric function value, and reading the apodization coefficients. In one embodiment, the method may include computing in advance apodization coefficients of a receiving focus point as the starting point for the subsequent interpolation operation and another receiving focus point as the ending point, and deriving, for each receiving channel, apodization coefficients of the points situated between these two receiving focus points through an interpolation operation.

    摘要: A method of improving the operation of a synchronous rectifier circuit which includes a switching transistor and synchronous transistor, by providing an operatively effective value of inductance in the current path of the synchronous transistor; which is shared by the control terminal circuit path of the transistor and by selecting a synchronous transistor having a low resistance to a control signal provided at the control terminal, as well as improved synchronous rectifier circuits designed according to the method. When the transistors are MOSFETs, the inductance provided is preferably a purely parasitic common source inductance in the range of about 2 nH to about 3 nH. The synchronous transistor exhibits a low value of gate resistance to facilitate fast energy exchange between the common source inductance and the gate-source capacitance.

    摘要: Digital to analog converters having a hybrid two-stage structure. The first stage is a differential segmented current DAC controlled by the MSBs (most significant bits) of input data. The second stage is a resistor string DAC controlled by the LSBs (least significant bits) of the input data to interpolate between the differential outputs of the first stage. The resistor string is directly connected to the current DAC without the need of buffer amplifiers. Instead, a replica circuit is used to prevent the second-stage resistor string from loading the first stage current DAC. Compensation techniques are described.

    摘要: An improved MR sensor has a ferromagnetic free layer whose magnetization is stabilized by an in-stack three layers combination, which including an auxiliary ferromagnetic layer proximate the ferromagnetic free layer, a non-magnetic spacer layer disposed between the ferromagnetic free layer and the auxiliary ferromagnetic layer, and a pinning layer adjacent to the auxiliary ferromagnetic layer. The pinning layer is directly exchange-coupled to the auxiliary ferromagnetic layer such that the magnetization of the auxiliary ferromagnetic layer is pinned. The non-magnetic spacer layer is made of a material, such as Ru, which induces an anti-ferromagnetic exchange coupling between the ferromagnetic free layer and the auxiliary ferromagnetic layer. The magnetization of the ferromagnetic free layer is stabilized in a single-domain state by the combination of the anti-ferromagnetic exchange-coupling and magnetostatic coupling between the ferromagnetic free layer and the auxiliary ferromagnetic layer.
