A clock generator circuit for clock controlled electronic devices, which causes minimal electromagnetic interference in adjacent electronic equipment. The clock generator circuit includes a clock source for generating a basic clock signal having a predetermined frequency. The basic clock signal defines a reference clock signal having a period T. A phase modulator coupled to the clock source for producing a system clock signal by delaying the basic clock signal. A signal source coupled to the phase modulator, which controls the phase modulator so that the system clock signal is delayed with respect to the reference clock signal by a time period less than half of the period T of the reference clock signal.

Spurious-emission-reducing terminal configuration for an integrated circuit, particularly a monolithic integrated circuit, operable within an unshielded board network, the integrated circuit being divided into a first subcircuit, which has essentially radio-frequency current components, and a second subcircuit, which has essentially low-frequency current components, the separation also extending to the internal supply lines and supply contact pads. The second subcircuit includes driver circuits which are connected to I/O lines on the board network. On the grounded side, the first and second supply current paths are interconnected within the integrated circuit by a low-resistance and low-inductance connection to establish a ground point.

An offset-voltage-balancing operation amplifier for difference signals includes an auxiliary and a main amplifier, each having a difference input and an auto-zero input. To provide offset balancing, the auto-zero inputs are connected to the potentials of two integrated storage capacitors. The difference input of the auxiliary amplifier can be short-circuited via first and second switching means, and the two storage capacitors are connected to the output of the auxiliary amplifier via third and fourth switching means. The sensitivity of the auto-zero inputs is less than the sensitivity of the difference inputs.
摘要:
In a pulse-density D/A or A/D converter, improved averaging of a pulse-density-modulated (PDM) signal in the presence of a jittering clock signal is achieved by applying the PDM signal to the serial input of an n-stage shift register whose parallel output serves to control n state signals. The shift register is driven by the clock signal. The n state signals are combined into a sum signal which feeds a low-pass filter. In preferred embodiments, the n state signals are weighted and/or isolated from the respective previous state and the following state by means of gate circuits.

To a prior art CMOS full-adder stage having sixteen transistors, a static inverter is added which consists of a P-type transistor and an N-type transistor, and the series combination (sc) of P- and N-type transistors is wired symmetrically. This increases the processing frequency, because the carry-signal path is no longer loaded by the four transistors contributing to the summation.

A delay line digital memory is organized into n signal branches (z.sub.1 . . . z.sub.n), each with m cells which form a serial data or signal flow path. Each cell is comprised of a transfer transistor t with a subsequently following level restorer, regenerator, or buffer circuit p which, however, is omitted in the last cell. Furthermore, n clock signals (s.sub.l . . . s.sub.n) are provided whose frequency (or repetition rate) equals one n-th of the data rate of the digital input signals, and whose effective pulses follow each other in temporal serial succession within one period of the data rate. Clocking (or activation) by clock signals (s.sub.1 . . . s.sub.n) is chosen so that in the first signal branch (z.sub.1) the first transistor is fed with the last clock signal (s.sub.n); in the second signal branch, the first transistor is fed with the next to last clock signal (s.sub.n-1); in the next to last signal branch (z.sub.n-1), the first transistor is fed with the second clock signal (s.sub.2); and in the 1st signal branch (z.sub.n) the first transistor is fed with the first clock signal (s.sub.1) at its gate. The remaining transistors of each signal branch are then fed in the sense of a descending clock-signal numbering order. Both the inputs and outputs of the signal branches are assembled or led together to either the signal input (s.sub.e) or the signal output (s.sub.a). This arrangement results in a considerable saving of space in the case of a monolithic integration compared to the cases in which shift registers or dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) are employed. The effective length of the storage time can be reduced in increments corresponding to the magnitude of the period of the data rate of the input signal.
