    摘要: An amplifier of controllable gain which is d.c. coupled throughout and capable of wide band operation is described. It employs a first and a second differential amplifier for producing the principal voltage gain of the amplifier. The differential amplifiers are interspersed with paired buffer amplifiers in emitter follower configuration, and a d.c. feedback path is provided to correct for any d.c. offset. Control of the gain of the first differential amplifier is implemented by an impedance connected in series with the base leads of the transistors and control of the collector emitter voltage to provide ''''forward'''' gain control operation. Control of the gain of the second differential amplifier is implemented by control of the emitter currents and by insertion in the emitter leads of a nonlinear impedance comprising a diode and a shunt resistance. The amplifier is of high gain and wide bandwidth and is suitable for amplification at intermediate frequencies (44 megahertz) of a television signal. The gain control range equals the forward gain of the amplifier. The circuit is adapted for integrated circuit fabrication.

    摘要: An amplifier of controllable gain which is d.c. coupled throughout and capable of wide band operation is described. It employs a cascode differential amplifier first stage and a differential amplifier second stage for producing the principal voltage gain of the amplifier. Control of the gain of the cascode differential amplifier is achieved by the application of gain control potentials to the bases of the cascoded upper rank transistors. Gain reduction is successively produced by saturation of the lower rank transistors, the degenerative effects of two impedances connected in series with the base leads of the lower rank transistors, and finally by cut-off of the upper rank transistors. The resultant gain control characteristic has a steep initial, gradual central and a steep final slope. The total range of gain control is in excess of the forward gain of the amplifier. The amplifier is of high gain and wide bandwidth and is suitable for amplification at intermediate frequencies (44 megahertz) of a television signal. The circuit is adapted for integrated circuit fabrication.

    摘要: The transistor switching network comprises a power transistor, used to deliver power from a DC source to a load, which is switched at a rate at which stored charge in the transistor potentially increases the internal power dissipation. A current transformer is provided comprising a small saturable core whose primary carries collector current and whose secondary couples the induced voltage to the base. The core of the current transformer creates an initial and a terminal transient which steepens the switching characteristic and reduces the power dissipation in the transients. The invention has applicaton to regulators and to DC to DC converters.

    摘要: A receiver for the reception of black and white or color television signals is disclosed which employs synchronous signal detection. Employing a highly linear synchronous detector of appropriately large bandwidth permits all portions of the signal to be detected at the original levels in the same detector without mutual interference. The detected portions are then separated at base band after detection by simplified filters. A single wide band lumped filter passing the whole channel at an intermediate frequency may be employed for interchannel separation prior to detection. The design is intended for either discrete or monolithic solid state fabrication, the latter form permitting highly desirable realizations of critical circuits at low cost.

    摘要: An automatic gain control system incorporating a novel amplifier of controllable gain is described. The amplifier is d.c. coupled throughout and capable of wideband operation. It employs a cascoded differential transistor amplifier for producing the principal voltage gain supplemented by input and output emitter followers. Gain control is achieved by the application of gain control potentials to the bases of the upper rank transistors. Gain reduction is produced first in the upper rank by the controlled degeneration produced by a pair of nonlinear impedances in series with the emitter leads of the upper rank transistors, and sequentially in the lower rank transistors by the controlled degeneration produced by two pairs of nonlinear impedances coupled in a degenerative feedback path about the lower rank transistors and in the input circuit to a pair of input emitter followers. In addition, the amplifier produces an indication of gain control action which, when the amplifier is used as an intermediate frequency amplifier of a television system, permits one to derive a second gain control signal, which after thresholding may be used for further gain reduction in the tuner. The amplifier is adapted for integrated circuit fabrication.

    摘要: A color television demodulator is disclosed for processing the NTSC color signal. The video signal is converted to base band and two color difference components are derived in two four-quadrant multipliers during video. During burst, which precedes each line of video information, two control signals are derived in a time multiplexed fashion from the same pair of four-quadrant multipliers. The demodulated color difference components are recombined with the luminance to provide the R, G, B signals for display. The demodulated burst is used to derive a phase control voltage for synchronizing the local oscillator used in the demodulation process. The demodulated burst is also used for deriving a color amplitude control voltage for stabilizing the color intensity. The demodulator circuitry is designed for integrated circuit fabrication with a minimum ''''pin'''' count and a minimum of outboarded components. The multiplex color television demodulator of the present invention, which is the invention of H. W. Abbott, R. J. McFadyen and W. Peil, is related to the prior invention of H. W. Abbott and J. J. Zampini, and embodied in a patent application similarly entitled, assigned to the Assignee of the present application and filed concurrently.

    摘要: A voltage controlled oscillator is described particularly suited for APC and AFC applications and having a wide phase shift control range. The oscillator is adapted for IC fabrication with a minimum ''''pin'''' count and a minimum of outboarded components. The active portion of the circuit takes the form of a modified four-quadrant multiplier, with an external high Q resonant circuit being coupled in a feedback path between a load common to two upper rank transistors and the input to one lower rank transistor. The D.C. control voltage is applied as an interbase potential to the upper rank transistors to control the current in the right and left branches of the multiplier, and a phase shift network is inserted in one branch to restrict the phase difference between the two branches to less than 180*, or typically 135*. Controlled parasitic delays introduce additional delay in the active circuit approximately equal to one half this phase difference. These provisions insure a regenerative condition and prevent pulling of the resonant circuit in either the direction of excessive phase advance or phase delay. The phase shift range exceeds 90*, typically equalling the phase difference between the current in the two branches.

    摘要: A voltage controlled A.C. amplifier is described particularly suited for automatic gain control applications and in particular to automatic color control in a color television receiver. The amplifier is adapted for IC fabrication, with D.C. coupling throughout, having a minimum pin count, and a minimum of outboarded components. While the A.C. signal gain of the amplifier is controllable by voltage adjustment, the D.C. gain is substantially unity. The amplifier takes the form of a modified four-quadrant multiplier with two upper rank differentially connected transistor pairs whose emitters are driven by a lower rank differentially connected transistor pair, the latter preferably flanked by a pair of emitter followers. The input signal is normally applied to the base of one flanking emitter follower through a high pass coupling network. The gain control function is achieved by selective regenerative or degenerative feedback controlled by the interbase potential applied to the upper rank transistor pair. The feedback is applied to the lower rank transistors through a feedback network which is balanced for D.C. but which has a differential affect for A.C. and in particular a low pass coupling characteristic to the lower rank transistor to which the input signal is coupled.
