    摘要: A signal processing integrated circuit has having a chopper stabilized, multistage, feedforward amplifier and a delta sigma analog to digital converter. Filtering of the output of the output from the analog to digital converter comprises a sinc5 filter and a sinc3 filter. The sinc3 filter may be bypassed. A rough buffer permits quick charging of a sample and hold capacitor during part of the charge cycle and slower but more accurate charging during the remainder of the charge cycle.

    摘要: In a signal processing integrated circuit having an analog to digital converter and a digital filter having a plurality of taps separated in time, when starting a conversion after a reset or a change of input channel, the filter will have an incomplete set of input data as the delayed inputs to an output calculation are all zero from the reset operation. After reset, during the time that data are filling up the filter pipeline, the calculation of an output value will give a result that holds information about the input, but does not present the data with the same scaling and frequency content as the fully settled filter. The integrated circuit selectively provides two modes, on that provides only fully settled data from the filter or and another that provides all data from the filter, including unsettled data. Knowledge about the filter coefficients can be utilized by a user or user process to extract information about the input from the unsettled data.

    摘要: A decimation filter implements selective decimation ratios by arranging a plurality of sinc filters in different pipeline arrangements to produce the desired ratio. Power savings area achieved by implementing the sinc filters as FIR sinc filters and by implementing multiplications using look up tables. One approach uses a fixed first stage filter and one or more second stage sinc filters selected from the group comprising two 4th order, 5 tap sinc filters, a 4th order, 9 tap sinc filter; a 5th order, 6 tap sinc filter and a 6th order 7 tap sinc filter. The sinc filter is particularly useful applications in the field of data acquisition and particularly in the area of seismic sensing.

    摘要: A multiply add carry (MAC) circuit correctly determines the value of a carry bit when an operation X*Y+Z is undertaken, where X, Y and Z are real numbers and where an accumulator and rounding are utilized. The circuit (1) determines if the product X*Y is negative, (2) determines if the value in the accumulator is negative, (3) determines if a round bit propagates all the way to the most significant bit (MSB) position, (4) determines if the result X*Y+Accumulator+round is negative; and (5) determines a correct carry bit based on the other determinations.

    摘要: A network arrangement uses a poll select control protocol and a loop back arrangement at each node for equalizing transmission delay from each node to a central station. Delays at each node can be adjusted to start timing in response to a broadcast signal indicating an amount of delay to be applied from the start of a synchronization interval to the beginning of transmission of data collected at the nodes. The arrangement is particularly useful in the field of data acquisition and particularly in the area of seismic sensing.

    摘要: A power on reset circuit, preferably for an integrated circuit, detects application of voltage, starts a phase locked loop one application of voltage is detected but inhibits all clock used for digital logic operations until voltage stability is achieved. If a switched converter is used, the duty cycle of the switched converter is held at unity for a period of time before it is set to that needed to achieve the desired chip operating voltage. Clocks controlling other circuits can be released in stages after the duty cycle of the switched converter is set to its operating voltage level.
