A multiplier includes an input stage to receive input signals to provide currents at a plurality of source nodes. An output stage includes a plurality of transistors groups, each of the transistor groups has a plurality of binary weighted transistor pairs. A select unit selects the binary weighted transistor pairs based on binary code signals so that each transistor pair passes a current from one of the source nodes to either a reference node or a summing node.

摘要:
A system and method for encoding and receiving data is provided. The data is encoded as a pulse amplitude modulated signal such that the amplitude signals do not transition from the highest signal level to the lowest signal level and do not transition from the lowest signal level to the highest signal level. The encoding and decoding is performed in some embodiments via a lookup table, and in further embodiments is designed to minimize the step between sequential pulse amplitude modulated symbols.
摘要:
A current summing FIR filter can be implemented with multiple differential input stages and variable tail currents. The variable tail currents can be used to appropriately weight the present and previous digital input signals. The weighted outputs of the differential transistor pairs can be summed to provide a filtered output signal. The tail currents can be advantageously varied with variable current sources or by adjustment of the relative widths of the differential transistor pairs. In other embodiments, additional differential pairs can be added to adjust for systematic offset voltages caused by process-induced variations in the structure of circuit devices or to induce a desired offset.

A device includes a bus, a first transmitter connected to the bus and configured to transmit a first signal over the bus in a first frequency band, a second transmitter connected to the bus and configured to transmit a second signal over the bus in a second frequency band at the same time that the first transmitter is transmitting the first signal, a first receiver connected to the bus and configured to receive the first signal transmitted over the bus in the first frequency band, and a second receiver connected to the bus and configured to receive the second signal transmitted over the bus in the second frequency band. The first frequency band and the second frequency band occupy different portions of the frequency spectrum.

A circuit samples a voltage on a simultaneous bi-directional bus, and subtracts an outbound voltage to determine an inbound voltage. Sampling capacitors are variable to adjust for matching time constants. A mechanism is provided to sample error voltages over clock phase variations and sampling capacitor values.
