    摘要: Low-side driver circuit (200) for data transmission applications includes external connection (202) for connecting and providing drive current to an external physical interface circuit. Sink transistor (210) forms an isolation from the physical interface circuit, and channels low-side drive current to external connection (202). Sink transistor (210) includes base (216), collector (208), and emitter (224). Emitter follower transistor (228) associates with sink transistor (210), and in conjunction with "A" input to the gate of transistor (228), sink transistor (210) controls the state of emitter follower transistor (228). Blocking transistor (206) associates with base (216) of sink transistor (210) to block the base of sink transistor (210) in the off state of sink transistor (210). Pull-down diodes (218) and (220) associate with base (216) of sink transistor (210) to pull down the voltage of the base when sink transistor (210) is in an off state.

Output transistor (16) for channeling high-side drive current to external connection (18). Output transistor (16) includes base (18), collector (14), and emitter (24). Control transistor (28) controls the on state of output transistor (16) to supply high-side drive current to external connection (18). At least one shorting transistor (30) shorts base (19) of output transistor (16) to emitter (24), when high-side voltage reaches a predetermined minimum voltage level.

    摘要: This is a driver circuit 100 for use in an integrated circuit 10 for driving two complimentary signals on output terminals 104 and 106. A single device, such as a Schottky diode 170, prevents voltage breakdown resulting from an externally supplied voltage on either output terminal 104, 106. The single device, such as Schottky diode 170, provides voltage breakdown protection for an output transistor 150 and a complimentary output transistor 152.The single device can be made larger than if two devices were used so that a voltage drop across the device resulting from normal forward current conduction is minimized.

    摘要: A track-and-hold circuit is provided. This track-and-hold circuit is adapted to track an analog input signal and hold a sampled voltage of the analog input signal at a sampling instant for processing by other circuitry, in response to a track signal that alternates with a hold signal. Preferably, the track-and-hold circuit includes a bi-directional current source that sources and sinks current through a first output node and a second output node, a unity gain amplifier that is coupled to first and second output nodes of the bi-directional current source and that receives the analog input signal, a resistor coupled to an output of the unity gain amplifier, and a capacitor coupled between the resistor and ground. Of interest, however, is the bi-directional current source, which includes a differential input circuit that is adapted to receive the track signal and the hold signal and that is coupled to the first and second output nodes and an RC network that is coupled to the differential input circuit. The RC network receives the analog input signal and is scaled to change the location of a zero to reduce the signal-dependence of the sampling instant.

    摘要: Accelerometers have a number of wide-ranging uses, and it is desirable to both increase their accuracy while decreasing size. Here, millimeter or sub-millimeter wavelength accelerometers are provided which has the advantage of having the high accuracy of an optical accelerometer, while being compact. Additionally, because millimeter or sub-millimeter wavelength signals are employed, cumbersome and awkward on-chip optical devices and bulky optical mediums can be avoided.

    摘要: A track-and-hold or sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided. A difference between the disclosed S/H circuit and conventional S/H circuits is the use of a peaking circuit. This peaking circuit generally provides increased current to switching transistor when transitioning between track and hold which can increase the Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) as low frequencies, by as much as 15dB.
