    摘要: The present invention provides compensation for circuits. In one embodiment, a compensation circuit has a first terminal coupled to an output terminal of the circuit and a second terminal coupled to feed back the output voltage to an internal node. A damping circuit may also be coupled to the output terminal. The damping circuit adds a pole and a zero to the transfer function of the circuit. In one embodiment, the damping circuit modifies the effect of the output impedance of a load on the transfer function to increase the phase margin of the circuit such that the circuit remains stable over an increased range of output capacitor values.

    摘要: In a circuit to convert a first logic signal having a first range to a second logic signal having a second range, a first metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor selectively couples an output node to a first reference voltage when the output node is to be in a first state. A second MOS transistor has a source coupled to the output node and a gate coupled to a bias voltage. A current source circuit selectively biases the second MOS transistor to act as part of a source-follower circuit when the output node is to be in a second state. Additionally, a memory circuit has an input coupled to the output node, and an output. The memory circuit is configured to temporarily store a Boolean value of the output node when the output node transitions from the first state to the second state. Further, a discharging circuit is coupled to the output node and a second reference voltage. The discharging circuit is configured to temporarily provide a discharging path between the output node and the second reference voltage when the output node is transitioning from the first state to the second state. The discharging circuit has a first input coupled to the output of the memory circuit and a second input coupled to a control signal. The control signal indicates that the output node is to transition from the first state to the second state.

    摘要: A method and a circuit for correcting asymmetry in a response signal generated by a magneto-resistive head. The magneto-resistive head generates a response signal to transmit digital information read from a magnetic media storage device. The asymmetry is corrected in a negative feedback manner by squaring an output signal, modulating the squared output signal, and subtracting the modulated squared output signal from the response signal to generate the output signal. The circuit employs a differential amplifier as an input stage and a Gilbert multiplier circuit to square the output signal.

    摘要: In a circuit to convert a voltage range of a control signal, a first switch selectively couples, based on the control signal, an output node to a first reference voltage when the output node is to be in a first state. A second switch selectively establishes, based on the control signal, a second reference voltage when the output node is to be in a second state, the second state being a logical complement of the first state. A feedback control loop is coupled to the output node to maintain the second reference voltage in response to voltage fluctuation at the output node. The feedback control loop includes a current mirror and a transistor coupled to the current mirror. The transistor is controlled by feedback from the output node to modify a biasing current established by the current mirror to thereby counteract the voltage fluctuation.
