Systems and methods for transferring incoming single-ended burst signals of which at least one characteristic varies widely from burst to burst onto a pair of differential lines. The systems comprise an input for receiving an incoming burst signal, a signal adaptation block for adapting said widely varying characteristic and a single-ended-to-differential converter. In a first aspect a reset signal for resetting a settings determination block, which controls the signal adaptation block, is sent backwards over the differential lines, preferably using a common-mode signal. In a second aspect, a status freezing mechanism is employed for freezing the settings of the settings determination block after the end of the preamble of an incoming burst.

摘要:
The present invention is related to a circuit (1) for detecting activity in a burst-mode receiver. The circuit is arranged for receiving an input signal (2) comprising a preamble. The circuit comprises a differentiator (11) for detecting signal transitions in the input signal (2) whereby the preamble comprises information on operating said differentiator (11). In a preferred embodiment, the information is a time constant. The circuit further comprises an integrator (12) arranged for being fed with an output of the differentiator. The resulting signal is compared to a reference (16). If this reference is crossed, activity is detected. In an embodiment a front-end circuit is presented comprising next to a circuit for detecting activity, a reset circuit arranged for resetting the front-end circuit and a clock phase alignment circuit arranged for recovering the phase.

The present invention discloses an analogue-to-digital converter comprising at least two voltage comparator devices. Each of the voltage comparator devices comprises a differential structure of transistors and is arranged for being fed with a same input signal and for generating an own internal voltage reference by means of an imbalance in the differential structure, said two internal voltage references being different. Each voltage comparator is arranged for generating an output signal indicative of a bit position of a digital approximation of the input signal.
