    摘要: A clock signal preamplifier comprises complementary pairs of differentially coupled transistors, with an output signal coupled to an inverter further comprising a totem-pole arrangement of complementary MOSFET transistors. The input signal to the preamplifier is typically sinusoidal, and the output signal is rectangular. Preferably, the differentially coupled transistors are bipolar, and a pair of diode clamper circuits with bipolar transistors is preferably coupled to the complementary pairs of differentially coupled transistors. A reference voltage source is coupled to the control terminals of the clamper transistors. A reference voltage source, which preferably comprises a totem-pole arrangement of complementary MOSFET transistors with its output node is coupled to its input node, provides a reference voltage for the diode clamper circuits. Preferably, MOSFET transistors of the reference voltage source and MOSFET transistors of like kind of the inverter are configured to have substantially identical threshold voltages.

    摘要: A reference voltage circuit having an open-loop buffer driven by a matching buffer included within a closed-loop, generates a stable differential or single-ended voltage while minimizing signal-dependent short-term and long-term drift. The open-loop buffer may be a replica of the closed-loop buffer, reducing the effect of a signal coupled on the voltage reference lines. The reference voltage circuit may be adapted for a switched capacitor ADC.

The grounding circuit includes a first grounding transistor coupled with the switching transistor and a second grounding transistor. The first grounding transistor has connection loci permitting electrical coupling with the gate, the source, the drain and the bulk portion of the first grounding transistor. The source connection locus and the bulk connection locus are coupled in common. The second grounding transistor couples the first grounding transistor with the ground locus in response to the clock.

    摘要: A track-and-hold circuit is provided. This track-and-hold circuit is adapted to track an analog input signal and hold a sampled voltage of the analog input signal at a sampling instant for processing by other circuitry, in response to a track signal that alternates with a hold signal. Preferably, the track-and-hold circuit includes a bi-directional current source that sources and sinks current through a first output node and a second output node, a unity gain amplifier that is coupled to first and second output nodes of the bi-directional current source and that receives the analog input signal, a resistor coupled to an output of the unity gain amplifier, and a capacitor coupled between the resistor and ground. Of interest, however, is the bi-directional current source, which includes a differential input circuit that is adapted to receive the track signal and the hold signal and that is coupled to the first and second output nodes and an RC network that is coupled to the differential input circuit. The RC network receives the analog input signal and is scaled to change the location of a zero to reduce the signal-dependence of the sampling instant.

    摘要: Accelerometers have a number of wide-ranging uses, and it is desirable to both increase their accuracy while decreasing size. Here, millimeter or sub-millimeter wavelength accelerometers are provided which has the advantage of having the high accuracy of an optical accelerometer, while being compact. Additionally, because millimeter or sub-millimeter wavelength signals are employed, cumbersome and awkward on-chip optical devices and bulky optical mediums can be avoided.
