    摘要: A technique includes using a pass device of a linear regulator to provide an output signal for the linear regulator in response to a signal that is received at a control terminal of the pass device. The control terminal is coupled to a node, and the node is associated with a bias current. The technique includes using a feedback path to communicate a feedback current with the node to regulate the output signal. The use of the feedback path includes regulating a magnitude of the feedback current to be within a range of magnitudes, which include a magnitude that exceeds a magnitude of the bias current.

    摘要: A data converter (10) includes an analog input element (12), an operational amplifier (14), a first reference input element (18), a second reference input element (22), and a control element (34). The analog input element (12) operably couples the analog signal to a first input (13) of the operational amplifier (14). The first and second reference input elements (18 & 22) respectively couple a first signal (16) and a second signal (22) to a first input of the operational amplifier (14). The control element (34) generates the control signal based on an output of the operational amplifier (14) to force the first input node (13) to be equivalent to the second input node (15) of the operational amplifier (14). The data converter (10) also includes an analog-to-digital converter (26) that allows the circuit to perform a sigma-delta conversion.

    摘要: A frequency synthesizer circuit (10). Circuit (10) has a counter (12), a latch/decoder (14), a divider (16), and an optional wave shaper (18) which synthesize an output clock signal X. Counter (12) counts a number of clock signal N periods that occur within one clock signal M period and this count is stored as a count value. The count value is latched and/or decoded by the latch/decoder (14) to produce a divisor which is output from the latch/decoder (14) to the divider (16). The divider (16) divides a clock signal N frequency by the divisor to provide a spiked waveform to the wave shaper (18). The wave shaper (18) alters a frequency and/or a duty cycle of the spiked waveform to produce the clock signal X. Clock signal X has a substantially constant frequency regardless of the clock signal N frequency or operational variation in the system clock N frequency.
