    摘要: A single-chip transceiver integrated circuit (100) has multiple on-chip circuits that implement receiver functions, transmitter functions, and audio processing functions. The IC (100) has interfaces (220, 240, 252, 270, 260, 245, 288, 290) which are situated among the on-chip circuits, and which couple one on-chip circuit to another. At least some of these on-chip interfaces (220, 240, 245, 252, 270) are configurable to couple an off-chip processing circuit to substitute for a corresponding on-chip circuit. In the preferred embodiment, the single-chip transceiver IC (100) supports radio configurations having off-chip versions of corresponding on-chip circuits for performing receiver front-end functions, synthesizer functions, reference oscillator functions, and audio processing functions.

    摘要: An audio amplifier clipping avoidance apparatus (140) identifies signal segments of an audio signal that can have an amplitude peak greater than a particular amplifier clip avoidance threshold (530). A scaling factor is determined for each signal segment based on the particular threshold (540). Signal segments are scaled with corresponding scaling factors to produce a modified audio signal having no signal segments with an amplitude peak greater than the particular threshold (560).

    摘要: A method and arrangement for electronically bandswitching a radio (100) is described which includes at least a receiver (110, 111), a PLL (120), and a fully synchronized, programmable counter as a frequency divider (140) that is coupled between the receiver and the PLL. This fully synchronized divider (140) provides an output signal (143) at a lower frequency with minimal harmonic energy and improves the sideband noise performance as the divisor increases. When the radio also includes a transmitter (104), stepped attenuators (128, 132) are also included for adjusting the modulation of the PLL (120) when in the transmit mode.The PLL includes at least a reference signal generator (121, 122), a phase detector (124), and a voltage controlled oscillator (127) having an output (129) coupled, via a feedback path, to a second input (131) of the phase detector (124). The fully synchronized, programmable frequency divider includes at least a counter, a data loader, a half-period detector, and a synchronizer which are configured and arranged to provide an output signal (143) having a duty cycle, nearly equal to 50%, which is independent of a divisor and which simplifies the filtering requirements thereafter, thereby providing electronic bandswitching for the radio while exhibiting fast-locking and low-noise characteristics.

    摘要: A wide frequency range current-controlled oscillator (CCO) provides a digital output signal that is frequency controllable by an input control current. The CCO includes a differential voltage comparator coupled to a timing capacitor for controlling charging and discharging currents applied to the timing capacitor. The charging and discharging currents are dependent on the input control current. The magnitude of the discharging current may be varied to control the duty cycle of the digital output signal.

    摘要: A conveyor construction including a frame having a pair of side rails with each side rail having a longitudinal T-shaped slot. A plurality of cross members are connected between the side rails and support a bed plate. An endless belt rides on the bed plate and is trained over an adjustable spindle assembly which is located at an end of the conveyor. The spindle assembly includes a spindle journalled between a pair of side members that are mounted for sliding movement in the T-slots of the respective side rails. A ratchet and pinion mechanism interconnects the conveyor frame with the spindle assembly and acts to move the spindle assembly longitudinally of the frame to tension the belt. A belt tracking mechanism is associated with each side of the spindle assembly and includes a cam member which is engaged with the respective side member of the spindle assembly. Individual rotation of the cam members serve to properly track the belt on the bed plate. To attach components to the conveyor frame, spring loaded nuts are slidably mounted in the T-slots of the side rails and the components are attached to the spring loaded nuts.

    摘要: A conveyor construction includes a frame, a drive section stationarily mounted to the frame, and a tensioning section mounted for longitudinal movement relative to the frame. The drive and tensioning sections each include a spindle, and a belt is engaged with the spindles. The frame defines an upper support surface disposed below the upper run of the belt, and mating engagement structure is provided on the belt and the upper support surface for preventing lateral movement of the belt relative to the upper support surface. The drive and tensioning sections include spaced side members, each of which defines an inwardly opening cavity for receiving a bearing assembly for rotatably supporting the spindle. The bearing-receiving cavity faces the spindle, and each side member defines outer wall structure which engages and supports the belt outwardly of the spindle. The belt overlies the outer wall structure of each side member and the adjacent belt-engaging portion of the spindle, so as to seal the inwardly facing opening and prevent ingress of moisture or other contaminants into the bearing-receiving cavity. A drive and locking arrangement for imparting movement to the tensioning section and for selectively locking the tensioning section in position includes a pair of pinion carriers or retainer blocks mounted one to each side of the frame, with a drive pinion being rotatably supported by the retainer blocks. Each side member includes integrally formed gear teeth engageable with opposite ends of the drive pinion, and a drive pinion actuator is engaged with one side of the frame for imparting rotation to the drive pinion to extend and retract the tensioning section. A locking arrangement is interconnected with the opposite end of the drive pinion, and functions to selectively frictionally engage the drive pinion with one of the retainer blocks to prevent rotation of the drive pinion and to thereby maintain the tensioning section in a desired position relative to the frame.

    摘要: A buffer is described which includes two gain stages which may be constructed of MOS devices, the first stage having a low noise characteristic and the second stage having a high current drive capability. The second stage is switched in circuit only when high current drive is needed so that the buffer otherwise exhibits the low noise characteristics of the first stage. A feedback network is also switched in circuit in a manner that maintains the buffer's loop gain substantially constant, whether or not the high current drive stage is in circuit.

    摘要: A low frequency oscillator of the astable type having good frequency stability, fast starting, good immunity to DC loading, and suitable for fabrication in integrated circuit form. First and second switching transistors of the astable multivibrator are cross-coupled by a coupling capacitor and a frequency determining crystal. Base drive to the respective switching transistors and charging current to the capacitor and crystal are provided by a pair of differential amplifiers which are referenced to a forward biased diode. The differential amplifiers are also connected to respective collector terminals of the switching transistors. The capacitor is of small value suitable for containment within an integrated circuit with the oscillator circuit. The differential amplifiers substantially increase the impedance levels in the oscillator and shift base drive to the switching transistors to minimize the effects of DC loading at the output terminals of the oscillator.
