摘要:
A balanced mixer circuit (300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800) in a baseband receiver (202) includes an oscillator circuit (212), a mixer (214 and 215), a digital-to-analog converter (258 and 259) and a digital signal processor (250). The mixer includes CMOS devices (301, 302, 303 and 304). In response to differential outputs from the mixer, the digital signal processor controls the digital-to-analog converter to output bias voltages for the gate of at least one of the CMOS devices of the mixer to compensate for imbalance in the differential output of the mixer that may be caused by mismatch among two or more CMOS devices of the mixer or caused by other reasons, in order to increase second order intercept point of the mixer.

A receiver (300) comprises an antenna input (301), a filter (302), a voltage-to-current converter (303), a down frequency conversion mixer (304), and a current-to-voltage converter (305). The antenna input operably couples to an antenna. The filter has a filter input that operably couples to the antenna input and can further have a filter output. The voltage-to-current converter has an input that is operably coupled to the filter output and can further have a voltage-to-current converter output. The down frequency conversion mixer has a mixer input that is operably coupled to the voltage-to-current converter output and can further have a mixer output. And the current-to-voltage converter has an input that is operably coupled to the mixer output and can further have a current-to-voltage converter output. By one approach, this current-to-voltage converter comprises an amplifier having a current gain of substantially unity or less.

A fast and efficient median search method and filter searches a dynamically changing time-ordered list of data samples for a data sample representing the arithmetic median of the list. Embodiments include a method to reduce the number of memory access operations to 2N and a method to reduce the number of memory access operations to N, where N is the number of data samples searched. The described approach includes providing a circular list of N data samples including an incoming data sample replacing an outgoing data sample, and a median data sample. Then, updating the median data sample dependent on magnitudes of the incoming data sample, the median data sample, and the outgoing data sample.

A communication device including a plurality of frequency synthesizers (24, 28, 30). At least one of the frequency synthesizers (24) is driven with a reference frequency from a crystal oscillator (58). The at least one frequency synthesizer (24) includes a phase locked loop with a fractional-N divider (48) which is programmed by a control circuit (64) to vary as a function of temperature compensation, frequency compensation, and a frequency multiplication factor. The output (46) of the at least one frequency synthesizer (24) is used to provide a compensated reference frequency input for the remaining frequency synthesizers (28, 30). The radio provides all the frequency synthesizers (24, 28, 30) with temperature and frequency compensation using a reference frequency from a crystal oscillator (58) and only one high resolution frequency compensating synthesizer (24).

A low current CMOS translator arrangement is disclosed that utilizes a low current inverting stage, having a peak current requirement, fed by a constant current source at a supply node that also has a capacitor coupled to it. This low current inverter is useful for a number of applications, including generating a sinusoidal signal when it is coupled to a crystal. When one or more are cascaded and coupled to a square wave input signal, the arrangement becomes a low current translator that level-shifts, or translates, the input signal having a first voltage range to a translated square wave output signal having a second voltage range. In another embodiment called a low current squaring translator, a squaring stage is coupled between the low current inverter and a low current translator that includes one or more inverting stages. This arrangement is able to achieve an output signal that maintains a precise duty cycle with low noise at a very low current.
摘要:
A differential input circuit for a switched capacitor CMOS voltage comparator is provided which minimizes offset voltages by configuring the load devices to utilize a single switched capacitor biasing network initialized from internally-generated bias voltages, while configuring the initialization switches for the differential input devices to also utilize internally-generated bias voltages such that the offset voltages are stored on the input capacitors. The power supply rejection performance of the voltage comparator is also optimized by connecting parallel load devices of opposite switching topology such that the same input impedance is seen at both load terminals.
摘要:
A unique interface adapter is coupled to a microprocessor by a three-wire self-clocking serial data bus for accommodating a twenty-key keyboard and an eight-digit display. The interface adapter includes circuitry for recovering a clock signal and a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data signal from the data signal transmitted on two forward signal lines of the serial data bus. The NRZ data signal is shifted into a receiving register, where address circuitry decodes the address portion of the data signal to provide a chip select signal and control circuitry decodes the control portion of the data signal to provide a register select signal, read/write signal and bus sense signal. The register select signal determines whether a control register or display register is to be loaded in response to the read/write signal with the data portion of the data signal. The control register signals activate four status indicating LED's, apply power to the display, select between a ten or sixteen digit display, enable an audio tone generator and reset a status bit flip-flop. The display register receives two BCD digits which are stored in a display memory. The keys of the keyboard are scanned at the same time digits read-out from the display memory are being applied to the display. The signals identifying the row and column of activated keys are provided in a return signal line of the serial data bus.
