    摘要: Bidirectional differential point to point simultaneous high speed signalling is provided between integrated circuits with highly effective echo canceling. Each integrated circuit comprises a transmitter for transmitting a first signal to another integrated circuit and a receiver for receiving a second signal from the other integrated circuit. The transmitter has an output buffer; a receiver has a receiver buffer and is co-located on the same integrated circuit; and a differential buffer is coupled between the input of the transmitter buffer and the output of the receiver buffer. To increase the quality of receiving the second signal, a third signal adjusted in phase and amplitude is coupled at the output of the receive buffer, so that the echoing of the first signal is canceled. Preferably, the rise time of the third signal is also adjusted.

    摘要: An improvement in the security of a logic system by minimizing observable features such as the power supply or electromagnetic radiation, so called, “side-channel attacks”. Specifically, the present invention comprises a technique and methods for reducing the ability of an intruder to monitor the relationship between currents in the system and the data in the system through the use of a randomized clock wherein the clock eye diagram is closed and without significant reduction in maximum operating speed compared to the reduction in maximum operating frequency that occurs when using conventional means of additive jitter. A system where the clock eye diagram is completely closed is provably more secure than systems where the clock eye diagram is partially open.

    摘要: A switch mode power supply comprises: a transformer (T1). A switch (Q4) alternately opens and closes a current path through a primary winding (L1) of the transformer in response to a pulse switching signal. An oscillator (110) generates the switching signal and synchronises the switching signal to a synchronisation signal (HSYNC') from an external source. A pulse width modulator (140) varies the pulse width of the switching signal in dependence upon a feedback signal indicative of a load on the power supply. A current limiter (150) turns off the switch to close the current path in response to current in the primary winding exceeding a threshold. Compensation means (160) is provided for varying the threshold in dependence upon the frequency of the synchronisation signal.

    摘要: Automated test equipment (ATE) used to test semiconductor components during the manufacturing process. The ATE generates and measures signals at test points of a device under test. The ATE includes a signal formatter with an SR latch having set an reset inputs each connected through or coupled to a number of signal channels. Each signal channel may receive a long pulse from a timing generator and generate a short pulse. Each signal channel has a current steering circuit that couples the short pulses to the set or reset ports of the latch. Because the outputs of each current steering circuit have a high impedance when not sending a pulse, multiplexing circuitry and/or circuitry to logically OR the outputs of separate signal channels are unnecessary. The hardware eliminated by this design simplifies and improves the ATE. Additionally, the latch can be set and reset in quick succession with good timing resolution.

    摘要: The input digital signal is applied to a transition detector which causes an up/down counter to increment or decrement each time a transition is detected. The output of the counter is utilized to address a read only memory (ROM) which, in turn, generates binary words representing first and second integers. These binary words are used to control a programmable divider to generate an output having a frequency which moves between two values corresponding to the digital input. The rate at which the frequency changes between the two values is controlled by the ROM contents. In the implementation, the frequency changes with a raised cosine shape.

    摘要: A decoder decodes and accurately scales so-called "tribit" servo signals after the receipt of only one tribit pattern without the use of A.G.C. by storing the peak values of the position indicating pulses the capacitors in first and second peak-and-hold circuits and thereafter discharging both capacitors with the same time constant, activating a sample-and-hold circuit to hold the value of the output of a difference amplifier at the instant when the output of a summing amplifier falls below a predetermined value.
