摘要:
An apparatus for generating a pulse-like constant current with a variable pulse width for use in evaluating thermal characteristics of a laser diode. The apparatus comprises a first constant current (or voltage) circuit constituted by a high-speed amplifer, a second constant (or voltage) circuit constituted by a low-speed amplifier and connected in parallel with the first constant current circuit, a bias circuit for increasing higher the output voltage of the second constant current circuit than that of the first constant current circuit, a switching circuit for turning on and off the first and second constant current circuits in response to first and second timing signals, respectively, in such a manner that the first timing signal and the second timing signal are simultaneously turned on while the second timing signal is turned off only after the first timing signal has been turned off, and a regulator for changing the width of the output current pulse by varying the on/off durations of the first and second timing signals. For evaluating the thermal characteristics of the laser diode, the pulse-like constant current is applied for excitation and the pulse width of the current is varied to change the light emission characteristics of the diodes, which are measured and compared for making evaluation.
摘要:
A logic analyzer includes a plurality of data sampling channels which are operative in response to respective different clock signals independent of one another. Information of the sequence in time in which the sampled data are produced in the plurality of the sampling channels is stored in a memory for the purpose of display. To this end, each of the sampling channels is provided with a clock discriminating circuit having two inputs supplied with a common clock signal generated internally and a clock signal specific to the associated sampling channel. The outputs of all the clock discriminating circuits are stored in a memory whose contents thus indicate the sequence in time in which the data are sampled in the plurality of the sampling channels.

A logic analyzer including at least a sampling system for sampling input data with a sampling clock signal comprises a condition decision circuit having inputs supplied with the input data and an internal clock signal for producing a conditioning signal in dependence on the input data in synchronism with the internal clock signal, a clock detection circuit for deciding whether the sampling clock signal makes appearance within a predetermined period of the internal clock signal to produce a signal representative of the result of the decision, and a control circuit having inputs supplied with the conditioning signal and the signal representative of said result for producing a trigger signal corresponding to the conditioning signal in dependence on the signal representative of the result of decision.
