    摘要: A JFET pair having unequal pinchoff voltages is operated in saturation with equal source-drain current to channel width-to-length ratios to provide a reference voltage output. Positive or negative voltage references can be implemented using either n-channel or p-channel JFETs. The pinchoff voltage difference results from the channel for one JFET having a heavier doping level than that of the other JFET.

    摘要: A three state logic input recognizes three logic levels: an intermediate level in addition to the conventional "high" and "low" levels employed by binary logic systems. The three state device may be used in purely ternary logic systems or in "hybrid" systems which combine binary and ternary logic. In a preferred embodiment, the new three state logic device comprises a "passive driver" which is connected to produce one of three predetermined logic levels in corresponding to impedance paths from its input terminal through an external circuit to a positive or negative voltage supply. In hybrid ternary/binary applications, the new three state input device includes a decoder that is connected to decode the three predetermined logic levels provided by the passive driver into binary logic for use by associated binary logic devices. In a digital to analog converter application, the three state input device is employed to recognize both a binary logic and a control signal at one input pin to the DAC.

    摘要: A CMOS output drive circuit has two field effect transistors (FETs) implemented with a CMOS process and characterized by parasitic bipolar transistors. The back-gates of the two transistors are tied together, such as by forming the devices in a common well, and the back-gate of the second FET is also connected to prevent its associated parasitic bipolar transistor from conducting. Quiescent loads are applied to the two FETs so that their voltages are comparable during low output loading, resulting in a drive circuit with high input impedance and high output voltage swing. The output terminal is taken from the first FET, the voltage of which becomes unbalanced from the second FET at relatively high output loads, turning on the parasitic bipolar transistor for the first FET. This gives the drive circuit a desirably high input impedance and low output impedance for heavy output loads. The circuit thus sacrifices low output impedance for high input impedance and voltage swing during light output loading when output impedance is not very important, and sacrifices high voltage swing for high input impedance and low output impedance at heavy loads at which the impedance levels are more important than voltage swing.

    摘要: An output circuit amplifier has first and second stage amplifying transistors with an impedance circuit connected between the base of the first stage transistor and the collector-emitter circuit of the second stage transistor to draw current from the first stage transistor base, thereby keeping both transistors out of saturation. The impedance circuit establishes a voltage drop between the two transistors such that large output voltage swings are enabled at an output terminal connected to the second stage transistor. The collector-emitter circuit of the first stage transistor is connected directly to a positive voltage bus to avoid further saturation problems.

    摘要: An integrated current mirror circuit in which a compensation transistor is added in each stage of the mirror to compensate for the base-substrate leakage currents of the other transistors in the mirror circuit and to keep the circuit operative even at high temperatures and low current levels. Each compensation transistor is matched with the other transistors in its stage and has its collector-emitter circuit connected between a voltage source terminal and the common base connection of the other transistors. The base of each compensation transistor is unconnected to the remainder of the circuit but exhibits a base-substrate leakage current which is employed in the compensation scheme.

    摘要: A dynamically variable spectral matrix surround system decodes two-channel stereo into multi-channel surround. In one embodiment, the true stereo signal is present in left and right front and left and right surround channel outputs. When a dominant center channel signal appears, the system subtracts center channel audio from the critical voice band only. The higher frequency portion of the spectrum will remain true stereo at all times. In another embodiment, the front center signal bandwidth is determined. A dynamically variable portion of the audio spectrum is inverted and added to the opposite channel, thereby dynamically subtracting the bandwidth of the front center signal from the left front, left surround, right front and right surround channels but leaving the portion of the audio spectrum that does not contain front center information unaltered. The input is divided into two frequency bands. The low frequency portion remains true stereo at all times because only high frequencies are processed by cancellation steering. By dynamically varying the cancellation bandwidth in the left and right output channels, the typical audible dominance of the difference signals is greatly reduced. When the input contains a dominant left or right signal, the center front and surround channels are steered down in level so as to produce the output only in the front channels. When a dominant surround signal is present in the input, the front channels are steered down in level. Therefore, allows the system produces an output only in the channel where the originally encoded signal was intended.

    摘要: A power-on reset circuit employs all-CMOS circuitry to initiate a reset signal when the circuit's power supply voltage is low, and terminate the signal in response to the supply voltage exceeding a reference voltage by at least the greater of the threshold voltages of PFET and NFET transistors employed in the circuit. A diode-connected bipolar transistor is implemented with an FET-compatible circuit structure to establish the reference voltage, which compensates for the possibility of fabrication tolerances.
