    摘要: An electronic vernier realizes programmable gain steps with first and second impedance ladders, a plurality of activatable coupling networks and a switch network. The ladders receive and progressively process the differential input signal into a plurality of progressive differential signals. In an embodiment, the coupling networks each generate a respective one of a plurality of progressive differential output signals in response to a respective one of the progressive differential signals and the switch network activates any selected one of the coupling networks. Thus, any selected vernier step is obtained by activating the respective coupling network. The verniers can be integrated into various systems, e.g., programmable amplifiers.

    摘要: A pulse shaping system for a pulse width modulation system includes: a ramp generator for generating a ramp signal having a ramp portion and a rest portion; a latch signal generator providing a latch signal coincident with the ramp portion; an indicator circuit for indicating desired pulse width; a pulse edge modulator responsive to the ramp portion and to the indicator circuit for providing a pulse width modulated pulse having at least one of its edges modulated; and including one or both of a fill circuit and a blanking circuit. In response to an indication from the indicator circuit of a desired maximum pulse width, the fill circuit causes the latch signal and the pulse generated by the pulse edge modulator to be combined for producing a maximum width pulse at the full width of the latch signal and the ramp portion. In response to an indication from the indicator circuit of a desired zero pulse width, the blanking circuit causes inhibiting of the pulse generated by the pulse edge modulator during the period of the latch signal and the ramp portion, for producing a zero width pulse during the full period of the latch signal and coincident ramp portion.
