    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a waveform generator that includes a first pair of capacitors, a second pair of capacitors, an op amp and control logic. The op amp has inputs and provides a differential triangular waveform at its outputs as an output signal. The control logic includes capacitor control logic, ramp control logic, reset control logic and charge control logic. The capacitor control logic connects a current pair of the first and second capacitors to the inputs of the op amp. The ramp control logic provides ramp currents to the current pair. The reset control logic resets capacitors of a next pair to selected voltage(s), such as zero. The charge control logic charges the next pair of capacitors, typically after the next pair of capacitors has been driven to the selected voltage(s).

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a level shifter circuit having switchable current mirrors that can be selectively activated and deactivated in a complementary manner to translate differential input signals between logic sides (e.g., to translate a differential input signal received at a low-side to a high-side). A latch is connected to outputs of the switchable current mirrors. The latch is configured to receive a translated output signal from an activated current mirror and drive the other output signal to a complementary value. The latch is also configured to provide the translated output signal to a switching element that deactivates (e.g., turns off) the activated switchable current mirror. Storage of the output signals allows for the current mirrors to remain deactivated until a new input signal is provided to the level shifter circuit, thereby allowing for a reduction in the static power consumption of the level shifter.

    摘要: Digital-to-analogue converter for converting a digital input signal into an analogue output signal includes a resistor string with switchable taps, a decoder circuit for connecting or disconnecting the taps in a manner dependent on the digital input signal, and a voltage divider. The voltage divider is operable to generate a divider voltage that divides a voltage difference that occurs between two connectable taps. The analogue output voltage is dependent on the divider voltage generated by the voltage divider.
