    摘要: A driver circuit (100) is utilized to drive a high current load (116) in an electronic device powered by a battery (118) having a terminal voltage which varies in relation to a level of energy being consumed. The driver circuit (100) includes a differential amplifier (110) which is responsive to a predetermined reference voltage and to the terminal voltage for generating a drive control signal which proportionally reduces a current supplied to the high current load (114) when the terminal voltage is substantially equal to and lower than the predetermined reference voltage. A slope control element (112) is coupled to the differential amplifier (110) to control a rate at which the drive control signal reduces proportionally the current supplied to the high current load (116). A load control element (114), coupled to the differential amplifier (100), provides the supply of current to the high current load (116).

The DC offset compensation circuit (100) comprises a differential integrator (120) and a summing network (130). The circuit device (110) is one of several types of devices, such as a DC coupled amplifier. The differential input (112) of the circuit device (110) is suitable for coupling to a differential input source (140) and the differential output (114) of the circuit device is suitable for connection to a load (150). The differential integrator (120) features a transconductance amplifier (18) at least one other amplifier (13), and a capacitor element (16) having a capacitance of C1.

    摘要: A data limiter for a radio pager is described in which an analog input signal including a data signal is compared in a comparator with a threshold voltage which is adjusted by means of a feedback network. The network consists of transconductance amplifiers having predetermined input offset voltages related to the amplitude of the analog signal which monitor the departure of the analog signal from a reference voltage to provide output currents which are integrated by an integrator and applied as the threshold voltage to the comparator and as the reference voltage to the transconductance amplifiers.

    摘要: A differential transconductance amplifier consisting of a bipolar differential amplifier (110) and an active load circuit (120) for the bipolar differential amplifier (110). The transconductance amplifier is suitable for driving a load (130). The active load circuit (120) comprises a bipolar differential amplifier (140), a metal-oxide-silicon (MOS) amplifier (150), and a resistor R1. The active load circuit (120) generates active load currents IAL1 and IAL2. The output of the transconductance amplifier are the differential output currents I1 and I2 which are supplied to the load (130). Differential output currents I1 and I2 are the sum of the currents into the nodes between the bipolar amplifier circuit (110) and the active load circuit (120). The gain of the transconductance amplifier is controlled by a current source that biases the differential amplifier (110).

    摘要: A configuration of two transistors and two capacitors provides a current mode second-order active filter for IC implementation with low-pass, bandpass and high-pass capabilities. The filter frequency is tunable over a wide range, independently of filter Q and gain, by varying a DC bias current. The filter can provide one-port impedance functions, and two-port voltage, current and impedance transfer functions. With the addition of a second biasing current source, the filter Q can be controlled by adjusting the ratio of the two biasing current sources. Enhanced dynamic range and large-signal performance can be achieved by the addition of linear resistors, with trade-offs in tunable frequency range and frequency linearity.

    摘要: A peak and valley measuring circuit (40) featuring a single digital-to-analog converter (DAC) (100), a peak counter (110), a valley counter (120), and a comparator (130). The peak and valley measuring circuit (40) uses the peak counter (110) when detecting peaks of the recovered audio signal and the valley counter (120) when detecting valleys of the recovered audio signal. The DAC (100) is used in conjunction with one of the counters (110) or (120) depending on whether peaks or valleys are being detected, and is preferably a current-mode DAC.

    摘要: A combined radio pager/analog timepiece that may be worn on the wrist of the user is described. The device includes a stepping motor to periodically advance the second hand of the watch portion. The voltage pulse device signals to the timepiece are effectively inhibited during those intervals when the paging receiver is activated. Receiver activation occurs so as to monitor its communication channel or actually process an intended message if its unique address has been received and detected. These inhibited, i.e. delayed, voltage device pulses are later applied to the stepping motor on an accelerated basis to bring the timepiece to current time status.
