    摘要: The disclosed systems and methods of low offset switched capacitor comparator reduce settling errors. The system operates in two major phases. During a first phase, the input voltage is sampled on the input capacitors and a differential amplifier is configured in a unity gain configuration to sample the amplifier offset. During the second phase, the input voltage difference is amplified at the output of the comparator. The amplifier transient sampling error is reduced by shorting the outputs of the differential amplifier for a shorting period at the start of the second phase. A clocked comparator at the output of the differential amplifier provides a fast comparison using internal positive feedback. The differential amplifier should have developed sufficient differential output voltage to overcome the offset of the clocked comparator.

    摘要: A battery detect circuit (32) is provided that is operable to dispose a sense resistor (50) in series with the battery to determine whether the charge is being provided to the battery or being extracted from the battery. The voltage across the sensor resistor (50) is sensed by a voltage/frequency converter (52). The voltage/frequency converter (52) is a differential structure comprised of two integrator structures (102) and (104) that are operable to utilize a switched capacitor configuration to drive comparators on the output thereof. Each of the integrator structures (102) and (104) has associated therewith passive elements and active elements. The integrators (102) and (104) have associated therewith integration capacitors (147) and (149). Additionally, there are two operational amplifiers (143) and (145) that provide the active components of each of the integrators (102) and (104). The various switched capacitor circuits (161) and (163) associated with the amplifiers (143) and (145) are provided to provide the integration operation. Both the amplifiers (143) and (145) and their associated switched capacitor circuits (161) and (163) are dynamically balanced such that they are switched between integrator (102) and integrator (104) on a periodic basis. This therefore allows the errors between the active and passive elements to be switched between the two integrators (102) and (104) such that no accumulative error occurs.

    摘要: A battery charging system is provided which is comprised of a battery pack (30) and a charging system (20). The battery pack (30) includes a battery (10) and a battery capacity detect circuit (32). The battery capacity detect circuit (32) having a memory is interfaced with the charging system (20) through a communication link to output a CHG-Bar signal. The battery capacity detect circuit (32) is operable to perform numerous monitoring operations on the battery by detecting the charge input to the battery and detecting charge taken away from the battery in a discharge operation. This operation is performed independent of the charging operation by the charging system (20). However, the charging operation of the charger (22) can be affected with the CHG-Bar signal.

    摘要: A battery charge/discharge monitor circuit (10) is operable to be disposed in a battery pack (12) which can be connected to a battery (13). The monitor circuit (10) is operable to be connected to an external CPU (24) or similar system through a single wire communication port (22) for transferring information back and forth. There is also provided an external signal on a line (30) for indicating charge or discharge activity in the monitor circuit (10). The monitor circuit (10) is operable to collect information regarding the amount of charge input to the battery and the length of time that the charge is input to the battery and also the amount of charge that is removed from the battery and the length of time that the charge is removed. This information is stored in a memory block (62) for later access by the external CPU (24). This system also provides offset information to provide some type of compensation for non-linearities of the part. This offset is determined during a calibration operation which operates over a long period of time during a period of inactivity. Regulation circuitry is operable to provide internal regulation to the circuitry with an external JFET (20).

    摘要: A narrow and deep aperture is chemically etched in or through a body of, for example, cadmium mercury telluride or other infrared sensitive material. The etchant is constrained and etches faster adjacent to side walls of a mask on the body. Those side walls are sufficiently close to each other than the faster etching areas overlap. Apertures or slots having a width of about 7 um may be etched in this manner through a thickness of about 5 um via windows having a width of about 3 um in a photo resist of a thickness between 4 and 5 um.
