    摘要: A fault state detector for a ring counter is formed from unit current sources each switched under the control of a different one of the outputs of the ring counter. The currents switched in that manner are passed through a unit resistance to generate a voltage signal proportional to the number of asserted outputs from the ring counter. The voltage signal is compared to boundary reference values for valid states of the ring counter outputs and, if the voltage signal is not between the boundary reference values, a fault state is indicated.

    摘要: A divide-by-N clock frequency divider producing N non-overlapping clocks each with precise 1/N duty ratio is implemented by a counter, a token generator and N-bit shift register. Every N clock cycles, a pulse is generated as a token from a logical combination of signals from the counter. The pulse is passed along a shift register having balanced load capacitances under control of the clock edge, ensuring a precise 1/N duty ratio that is unaffected by load capacitances from the fault state detection and/or reset circuitry. In this manner, a higher operating frequency may be achieved with low power consumption.

    摘要: A system and a method are disclosed for providing a constant swing high-gain complementary differential limiting amplifier. High gain for the differential amplifier is created by providing a current to the driving transistors that is a combination of any of (a) constant current, (b) transconductance based current, and (c) temperature compensated based current. A constant differential output swing is created by providing a varying differential current to the output load resistors of the differential amplifier that tracks process and temperature variations within the output load resistors.

    摘要: Concepts for conveniently arranging devices for the transduction of signals to and from voltage and current domains to infrared radiation domains is described. Specifically, optoelectronic components and methods of making the same are described. In one aspect, the optoelectronic component includes a base substrate having a pair of angled (or substantially perpendicular) faces with electrical traces extending therebetween. A semiconductor chip assembly is mounted on the first face of the base substrate and a photonic device is mounted on the second face. Both the semiconductor chip assembly and the photonic device are electrically connected to traces on the base substrate. The semiconductor chip assembly is generally arranged to be electrically connected to external devices. The photonic devices are generally arranged to optically communicate with one or more optical fibers. The described structure may be used with a wide variety of photonic devices. In some embodiments the base substrate is formed from a ceramic material having the electrical traces formed thereon. In other implementations the substrate includes a backing block having a flexible printed circuit substrate adhered thereto.

    摘要: An integrated circuit comprises a pin coupled to receive signals from outside the integrated circuit and an input network. The input network equalizes incoming signals by attenuating lower frequency input signals more than higher frequency input signals received at the pin. The input network is configured to generate a DC bias voltage at an output of the input network in response to an AC coupled input signal or a DC coupled input signal received at the pin with a wide common-mode range.
