    摘要: Disclosed is a system and method for generating a data sequence from a two frequency coherent phase signal. The system comprises an integrated magnetic read channel that includes a magnetic reader circuit configured to generate an analog two frequency coherent phase (F2F) signal from a magnetic strip, the analog F2F signal having a number of alternating positive and negative peaks having a respective positive and negative transitions therebetween. The output of the magnetic reader circuit is applied to an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the analog F2F signal into a digital F2F signal. Thereafter, the digital F2F signal is applied to a peak detector configured to identify the alternating negative and positive peaks. The magnetic read channel also includes a transition calculator configured to determine a transition time between each of the consecutively positioned alternating positive and negative peaks, and a frequency locked loop configured to determine a transition type for each of the transition times. Finally, the output of the frequency locked loop is applied to a data separator configured to determine a data value from the transition types.

    摘要: An apparatus for sensing three-dimensional relative movement includes a movable motion sensor including a first and a second two-dimensional array of photo detectors. At least one lens directs far-field images onto the first and the second arrays of photo detectors. The sensor is configured to generate digital representations of the far-field images and to generate three-dimensional relative movement data based on the digital representations of the far-field images. The movement data is indicative of motion of the sensor in three dimensions.

    摘要: A time delay system and method utilize an accurate clock signal with a known frequency to calibrate an inaccurate clock signal that will be used to generate a desired time delay. In the case that the frequency of the inaccurate clock signal is lower than the frequency of the accurate clock signal, the number of cycles of the accurate clock signal that occur during a predetermined portion of the inaccurate clock signal is used to calibrate the inaccurate clock signal. Alternately, if the frequency of the inaccurate clock signal is higher than the frequency of the accurate clock signal, the number of cycles of the inaccurate clock signal that occur during a predetermined portion of the accurate clock signal is used in the calibration. The calibrated inaccurate clock signal is then utilized to generate an accurate time delay.

    摘要: A fully-integrated CMOS peak detector stores the peak amplitude of an input signal using an on-chip storage capacitor. The fully-integrated CMOS peak detector includes a delay buffer, a transfer gate and a comparator. A discharge controller is used to step-down the peak amplitude stored on the on-chip storage capacitor some predetermined amount. The discharge controller includes a switched capacitor circuit which is placed in series with the storage capacitor such that the two capacitors act as a capacitive voltage divider to produce a predictable fraction of the acquired peak amplitude. Multiple peaks can be determined and/or stored by using multiple fully-integrated CMOS peak detectors in conjunction with a single comparator. A multiplexer is used in this configuration to control the multiple peak detectors.
