    摘要: An output driver (100) for driving an external impedance load (160) comprising an output stage (110) and an impedance element (120). An input signal to the output stage (110) is controlled to provide an output signal that then drives the external impedance load (160).The output stage (110) comprises an input controller (112) that couples to a current generator (114) and a current replicator (116). A voltage reference source (150) determines a quiescent output current level of the current generator (114). The impedance element (120) comprises a current modulating resistor (230) that couples a two polarity voltage supply (130) to the output stage (110).Operations of the output driver (100) depends on the external load impedance (160). For a high external impedance load, the output driver (100) functions as a simple voltage follower. For a low external impedance load, the output driver (100) functions as a single-ended push-pull circuit and provides a low distortion output signal under low voltage supply conditions.

    摘要: An amplifier circuit wherein the output signal of an npn long-tailed transistor pair amplifier stage (1) is referenced to a first power supply point (5). In order to transfer this signal to the input of a second npn stage without using pnp transistors and without noise on the first supply point becoming superimposed on the signal, an intermediate stage (2) is provided. The intermediate stage comprises a current mirror (10) to the input and output of which are coupled the respective collectors of the pair transistors (3,4) via respective emitter followers (13,15) and respective resistors (14,16). The values of these resistors, the load resistors (6,7) of the pair transistors, and the current gains of the emitter followers and the current mirror are chosen such that any change in the potential on the output (17) of the intermediate stage (2) relative to a second power supply point (8), which would otherwise result from a change in the potential on the first supply point (5) relative to that on the second supply point, is compensated for by a change in the mirror output current, thus producing changes in the currents through two of the resistors (7,16).

    摘要: A speed control system for an a.c. electric motor (1) comprises a microcomputer (6) having an interrupt signal input (INT/TO) to which is coupled the outputs of a detector (10) for detecting zero-crossings of the a.c. supply voltage and a tachogenerator (11) driven by the motor. The microcomputer supplies firing pulses to a triac (2), connected in series with the motor, in response to an overflow of a clocked counter (CT). This counter is suitably preloaded at each zero-crossing. The counter is read each time a tachogenerator pulse occurs and the time which this reading indicates has elapsed since the immediately preceding zero-crossing is stored. A record is also kept in a register (ZCSLTA) of how many zero-crossings occur between each tachogenerator pulse and the next and from this, and the stored times relating to the relevant pulses, the period of the tachogenerator pulses and hence the actual speed of the motor is calculated. The preloading value for the counter is calculated from this and the required speed.

    摘要: A differential amplifier includes first and second matched field-effect transistors (FETs) (21,22) having their source electrodes connected together and to a current source (2), and their drain electrodes connected respectively to an input and an output of a current mirror circuit (3). The FETs (21,22) are depletion-mode FETs, and the current source comprises parallel-connected third and fourth depletion-mode FETs (25,26) matched to the first and second FETs (21,22). The current source (2) and current mirror (3) act to constrain the first and second FETs (21,22), to operate over a predetermined operating curve, for which they are optimally matched to one another. The differential amplifier may be constructed as an integrated circuit, and may form part of a circuit for sensing current in a power semiconductor device.

    摘要: A motor speed control circuit for use in a washing machine includes a timer which in normal operation accelerates the motor from a wash speed to a distribution speed before a fast acceleration to the spin dry speed. The control circuit includes speed measurement means for maintaining the motor at spin speed in the event of a power interruption during a spin cycle provided the drum speed remains above a given critical speed when the power returns. If not, a redistribution cycle takes place before the motor is accelerated to its spin speed.

    摘要: In order to sense the temperature of an integrated circuit chip, a semiconductor junction device (D1) integrated on the chip is used to generate a first signal (V.sub.1) having a known variation with temperature. A second signal (V.sub.2) is generated by passing a PTAT current (I.sub.2) through a resistor (R1) so that the second signal (V.sub.2) has a known variation with temperature which is opposite in sign to that of the first signal (V.sub.1). The two signals are compared (42) to generate an output signal (OT) which is dependent on whether the temperature of the chip is below or above a predetermined threshold temperature. The current (I.sub.1) through the junction device (D1) is also PTAT, which provides a more accurate definition of the threshold temperature in terms of integrated circuit parameters.
