    摘要: A memory power controller comprises a clock generation circuitry for generating a first clock signal and a second clock signal responsive to a source clock and a determination that the source clock has a period greater than a predetermined value. The first clock is generated responsive to a determination that the source clock has a period greater than the predetermined value and the second clock is generated responsive to the determination that the source clock has a period less than the predetermined value. Memory time-out circuitry generates a memory enable/disable signal to control operation of an associated memory responsive to the clock signal and the determination that the source clock has a period greater than the predetermined value. The memory time-out circuitry further synchronizes the memory enable/disable signal with the source clock.

    摘要: A microcontroller unit includes a processor for generating a first control signal to start a comatose mode of operation for the microcontroller unit. Control logic responsive to the first control signal generates an enable signal at a first level and the control logic is further responsive to a second control signal for generating the enable signal at a second level. A voltage regulator generates regulated voltage from an input voltage. The voltage regulator shuts down to provide a zero volt regulated voltage responsive to the enable signal at the first level and powers up to provide a regulated voltage at an operating level responsive to the enable signal at the second level.

    摘要: A delay system includes a first filter configured for receiving a selected input signal and a first mechanism for activating the first filter to produce a delayed output signal which is a function of a selected input signal. The delay system further includes a second filter configured for receiving a signal from said first filter to apply an additional delay to the signal received by said first filter, and a second mechanism for activating the second filter to produce a delayed signal which is a function of a signal received from the first filter. The delay system further comprises a divider system for tracking times from a clock reference. The delay system implements a method of delaying a received signal by sampling a selected signal with a predetermined clock signal and producing the selected signal at a time delayed to the extent of a comparison of a reduced frequency clock with a predetermined value. The method further includes further delaying production of the selected signal with a second comparison utilizing a second predetermined value of a further reduced frequency clock.

    摘要: A reduced power FIR filter may be utilized as the digital decimation filter for a delta sigma ADC. The FIR filter utilizes a serial bit stream which is part of the control path of the filter. Thus, operations of the circuitry which comprises the filter may be controlled depending upon the data presented at the output of the delta sigma modulator. In particular, filter operations may be enabled only for a given digital state, for example, a digital 1 state. Thus, the filter operations may be enabled only for typically half of the bits from the serial bit stream and the power usage of the digital filter is significantly reduced.

    摘要: In at least one embodiment of the invention, a method for dividing a first signal having a first frequency by a divide ratio to generate a lower frequency signal includes generating a first plurality of signals having a common frequency, a first pulse width, and different phases. The first plurality of signals is based, at least in part, on at least one signal having a second pulse width. The first pulse width is selected from a plurality of pulse widths based, at least in part, on the divide ratio. The method includes sequentially selecting individual pulses of the first plurality of signals as an output signal of a select circuit to generate an output signal having a frequency lower than the first frequency.

    摘要: A data clock pin SCLK may be used to receive an SCLK signal as well as sleep and reset signals. During normal operation, the SCLK input pin may receive the SCLK signal, a square wave type clock signal. However, the SCLK signal may also be coupled to a one-shot within the device. When signal SCLK is held high for a predetermined period of time, the one-shot is triggered and a SLEEP signal is generated. The device reacts to this SLEEP signal by entering a sleep mode. Similarly, if the SCLK signal is held low for a predetermined period of time, the one-shot may output a low level RESET signal. This RESET signal resets the device into an initial condition state. Other modes of operation, such as test modes and the like may be entered into by holding the SCLK signal high or low in conjunction with a predetermined logic level on another pin (e.g., VREF).

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and apparatus to define and sustain such a physical level by connecting the output through a transmission gate to an input pin. For a certain state of the output, one level of an input may be fed through to the output to generate an output voltage level. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a chip select signal {overscore (CS)} is used to define a low level logic signal. An control logic selectively switches a high level logic signal voltage (e.g., V+supply voltage) or the low level logic signal voltage ({overscore (CS)}) to produce an output digital logic signal. In a further embodiment of the present invention, separate logic level signals INH and INL may be selectively switched by control logic to generate an output logic level signal independent of supply voltages V+ and V−.
