    摘要: An improved memory cell (300) for use in applications, such as micromirror arrays, in which little space is available and a slow read-back cycle is tolerated. The memory (300) comprises a first input/output node (314) connected to the input of a first inverter and to the output of a second inverter. The first inverter is comprised of two transistors (304, 306) and drives a signal to a second input/output node (316). The input of the second inverter is connected to the second input/output node (316). When used to drive a typical micromirror cell, the address electrode of the micromirror cell are electrically connected to the first input/output node (314) and the second input/output node (316).

    摘要: A micromirror array fabricated on a semiconductor substrate 708. The micromirrors in the micromirror array logically divided into an interior active region 704 which selectively modulates light striking the mirrors in the interior active region 704, and an exterior border region 702 for producing a dark border around the image produced by the interior active region 704. A gap between each mirror allows adjacent mirrors to rotate. The gap 712 between mirrors in the interior active region 704 of the array is larger than the gap 710 between at least some of the mirrors in the exterior border region 702. The smaller gap 710 in the exterior region 702 is enabled by restricting mirrors in the exterior region 702 to a single direction of rotation.

    摘要: A high-definition multimedia interface circuit uses a high-definition multimedia interface encoder to produce a plurality of channels of data. An output circuit, connected to the high-definition multimedia interface encoder, produces a plurality of channels of high frequency data from the data produced by the high-definition multimedia interface encoder. A multiplexer selects a channel for sampling, and a capacitive coupler capacitively couples the multiplexer to a sampling circuit. The sampling circuit produces sampled data corresponding to the high frequency data having a clock rate less than a clock rate of the high frequency data. A test circuit compares the sampled data with the data produced by the high-definition multimedia interface encoder.

    摘要: A system and method transmits data received at varying frequencies at a fixed data rate. The frequency dependent data and associated data clock signal are received and the frequency dependent data is converted to frequency independent data. A ratio of a number of data clock cycles to a number of reference clock cycles is determined and transmitted. The frequency independent data and header data are transmitted, at a fixed rate, to a receiver, the fixed rate being a frequency greater than the frequency of the associated data clock signal. The received the frequency independent data is converted to frequency dependent data based upon the received determined ratio. The communication channel may include an optical fiber and a tension member wherein control data is transmitted along the tension member and graphic data is transmitted along the optical fiber.

    摘要: A method of providing control signals for resetting mirror elements (10,20) of a digital micro-mirror device (DMD) having reset groups (FIG. 4), or for resetting moveable elements of other micro-mechanical devices that operate with similar principles. A bias voltage is applied to the mirrors and their landing sites, and an address voltage is applied under the mirrors. (FIG. 3). The address voltage is held at an intermediate level except during a reset period. During this reset period, the address voltage is increased. Also, during reset, the bias applied to mirrors to be reset is pulsed and offset, and the bias applied to mirrors not to be reset is increased. (FIGS. 5 and 6).

    摘要: A digital video interface receiver adjusts a transfer function of a phase-locked loop circuit having a programmable charge pump, a programmable phase-locked loop filter, or a programmable gain voltage controlled oscillator. The digital video interface receiver monitors and detects errors in a data stream associated with the phase-locked loop circuit. Moreover, the digital video interface receiver changes the transfer function of the phase-locked loop circuit, in response to the detected errors, by changing parameters associated with the programmable charge pump, the programmable phase-locked loop filter, or the programmable gain voltage controlled oscillator of the phase-locked loop circuit so as to change the transfer function of the phase-locked loop circuit.

    摘要: An auxiliary line driver (514) able to sense data driven on a signal path (502) by a primary line driver (512), and then drive the data on the signal path (502). The auxiliary driver (514) allows a small primary line driver (512) to drive a large load, or a large number of loads (504, 506) without consuming a large area in the region where the primary line driver (512) is fabricated. The auxiliary line driver is particularly useful for driving the memory array of a micromirror device, especially during a block clear operation in which a large number of memory cells (506) are written to simultaneously. When the auxiliary line driver (514) receives an enable signal (518), the auxiliary line driver drives the last input provided to the input of the auxiliary line driver (514).
