    摘要: A microcontroller unit includes a processor for generating a first control signal to start a comatose mode of operation for the microcontroller unit. Control logic responsive to the first control signal generates an enable signal at a first level and the control logic is further responsive to a second control signal for generating the enable signal at a second level. A voltage regulator generates regulated voltage from an input voltage. The voltage regulator shuts down to provide a zero volt regulated voltage responsive to the enable signal at the first level and powers up to provide a regulated voltage at an operating level responsive to the enable signal at the second level.

    摘要: A data clock pin SCLK may be used to receive an SCLK signal as well as sleep and reset signals. During normal operation, the SCLK input pin may receive the SCLK signal, a square wave type clock signal. However, the SCLK signal may also be coupled to a one-shot within the device. When signal SCLK is held high for a predetermined period of time, the one-shot is triggered and a SLEEP signal is generated. The device reacts to this SLEEP signal by entering a sleep mode. Similarly, if the SCLK signal is held low for a predetermined period of time, the one-shot may output a low level RESET signal. This RESET signal resets the device into an initial condition state. Other modes of operation, such as test modes and the like may be entered into by holding the SCLK signal high or low in conjunction with a predetermined logic level on another pin (e.g., VREF).

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and apparatus to define and sustain such a physical level by connecting the output through a transmission gate to an input pin. For a certain state of the output, one level of an input may be fed through to the output to generate an output voltage level. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a chip select signal {overscore (CS)} is used to define a low level logic signal. An control logic selectively switches a high level logic signal voltage (e.g., V+supply voltage) or the low level logic signal voltage ({overscore (CS)}) to produce an output digital logic signal. In a further embodiment of the present invention, separate logic level signals INH and INL may be selectively switched by control logic to generate an output logic level signal independent of supply voltages V+ and V−.

    摘要: Phase compensation in a dual-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is accomplished by holding conversion results in programmable length registers for controllable time periods. A dual-channel ADC includes first and second delta-sigma modulators and a digital filter, subject to multiple sampling rates for optimizing coarse and fine adjustments of delay. An energy calculation is performed in a sampled data domain, which is implemented using digital multiplication techniques in a delay compensation scheme performed in the digital domain. The digital data subject to filter processing, is delayed by predetermined amounts. The dual-channel ADC is provided with a programmable channel delay mechanism. A differential delay equal to &Dgr;I-&Dgr;V is calibrated and compensated subject to an acceptable time delay for production of a correct energy value. The ADC according to the present invention further oversamples received analog signal at clock rates much higher than the output rate of the ADC, and delays are generated in the downstream filters connected to the ADC's.

    摘要: Delay correction in a dual-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is accomplished by insertion of coarse and fine delay correction registers prior to and after a frequency reduction element in a voltage channel. A dual-channel ADC includes first and second delta-sigma modulators and a digital filter, subject to multiple sampling rates for optimizing coarse and fine adjustments of delay. An energy calculation is performed in a sampled data domain, which is implemented using digital multiplication techniques in a delay compensation scheme performed in the digital domain. The digital data subject to filter processing is delayed by predetermined amounts. The dual-channel ADC is provided with a programmable channel delay adjustment in the voltage channel thereof. A delay differential equal to &Dgr;I−&Dgr;V is calibrated and compensated subject to an acceptable time delay for production of a correct energy value. The ADC according to the present invention further oversamples received analog signal at clock rates much higher than the output rate of the ADC, and delays are generated in the downstream filters connected to the ADCs.

    摘要: A memory power controller comprises a clock generation circuitry for generating a first clock signal and a second clock signal responsive to a source clock and a determination that the source clock has a period greater than a predetermined value. The first clock is generated responsive to a determination that the source clock has a period greater than the predetermined value and the second clock is generated responsive to the determination that the source clock has a period less than the predetermined value. Memory time-out circuitry generates a memory enable/disable signal to control operation of an associated memory responsive to the clock signal and the determination that the source clock has a period greater than the predetermined value. The memory time-out circuitry further synchronizes the memory enable/disable signal with the source clock.
