An integrated circuit device includes a driver circuit (100) having a pull-up network with a first pull-up transistor (108) coupled to a second pull-up transistor (110) at a first node (VP), and a pull-down network coupled to the pull-up network including a first pull-down transistor (112) coupled to a second pull-down transistor (114) at a second node (VN). A first bias switch (116) is coupled to the first node. A second bias switch (118) is coupled to the second node. A control circuit (104) is coupled to operate the first and second bias switches. The first bias switch is operated to reduce a voltage at the first node during a pull-down cycle of the driver circuit and the second bias switch is operated to reduce a voltage at the second node during a pull-up cycle of the driver circuit.

A radio receiver (100) has an IF (intermediate frequency) filter (200) for dynamically adjusting its intermediate frequency. The filter (200) includes a filter bank (301), power/amplitude estimator circuits (308, 310, 312), and weighting circuits (314, 316, 318). The filter bank (301) generates sub-bands, each sub-band having a predetermined frequency range. The power/amplitude estimators (308, 310, 312) provide an estimated power/amplitude in each sub-band. A filter control (320) uses the power/amplitude estimates to determine a percentage of each sub-band signal that is permitted to be coupled a summation circuit (319). The summation circuit (319) sums the weighted sub-band signals to provide a filtered output signal to a demodulator (212).

Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to receivers. One embodiment relates to a digital FM receiver having multiple sensors (e.g. antennas). In one embodiment, the digital receiver includes a baseband unit having a channel processing unit. In one embodiment, the channel processing unit is capable of calculating or estimating a phase difference between the incoming signals prior to combining them. One embodiment uses phase estimation method for diversity combining the signals while another embodiment utlizes a hybrid phase lock loop method. Also, some embodiments of the present invention provide for echo-cancelling after diversity combining. An alternate embodiment of the channel processing unit utilizes a space-time unit to diversity combine and provide echo cancelling for the incoming signals. Other embodiments of the present invention allow for the incoming signals from the multiple antennas to pass through the baseband unit uncombined, where the incoming signals may have different data formats.

A circuit has a first transistor having a first current electrode coupled to a first supply voltage terminal and a second current electrode coupled to a virtual supply voltage node. A second transistor has a first current electrode coupled to the first supply voltage terminal and a control electrode coupled to the virtual supply voltage node. A first load has an input and has an output coupled to a second current electrode of the second transistor. A third transistor has a control electrode coupled to the output of the first load. A second load has an input coupled to the first supply voltage terminal, and has an output that is coupled to both a control electrode of the first transistor and a first current electrode of the third transistor. The virtual supply voltage node provides an operating voltage to a circuit module that alternates between normal and drowsy operating modes.

Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to digital volume control in digital audio systems. One embodiment relates to a digital audio system having a digital audio processor and a digital volume control coupled to the digital audio processor. The digital volume control includes a feedback loop having an attenuator, and error determination unit, and a filter. The feedback loop determines the attenuation error and shifts the attenuation error beyond a predetermined digital audio range. The output of the digital volume control maintains a substantially constant SNR and THD with respect to the level attenuation over the predetermined digital audio range.
