    摘要: The present invention relates to an all n-type transistor current mirror for mirroring an input current to an output current. The current mirror comprises an input n-type transistor (T4, QO, T1) interposed between a positive supply plane (VCC) and an input node (104, 202, 310) with its collector being connected to the positive supply plane (VCC) and its emitter being connected to the input node (104, 202, 310). An output n-type transistor (T3, Q1, T2) is interposed between the positive supply plane (VCC) and an output node (106, 204, 314) with its collector being connected to the positive supply plane (VCC) and its emitter being connected to the output node (106, 204, 314). A feedback circuit equals base-emitter voltages of the input (T4, QO, T1) and the output transistor (T3, Q1, T2) in order to mirror the emitter current of the input transistor (T4, QO, T1) to the emitter current of the output transistor (T3, Q1, T2). The all n-type transistor current mirror is highly advantageous by overcoming the shortcomings of technologies such as MOBI3, GaAs, and InP of being unable to provide p-type transistors.

    摘要: A signal processing arrangement comprises a series of latches (XDL, L1, L2) arranged as a clocked delay line (CDL) having a data input and a data output that are coupled to each other so as to form an inverting loop. An enable circuit (ACDL) allows or prevents a latch (L2) in the series of latches from changing state depending on whether, one clock cycle ago, the latch concerned received a given binary value or the inverse of that given binary 5 value, respectively, from the preceding latch (L1) in the series of latches. Such a circuit configuration allows a low-cost frequency division by an odd number with relatively small duty cycle errors.

    摘要: An optical disk system includes at least one photo detector connected with a variable gain amplifier, a slicer, and a generator which is in the feedback path between the slicer and amplifier. A differential time delay detector provides the output of the optical disk system. The generator is configured for controlling the amplifier non-linearly so that time constants of the control loop of the amplifier which depend upon the level of the input signals are compensated and the timing behavior of the control loop of the amplifier has a more continuous character. A capacitor forms part of an integrator for making the mean value of the output voltage signal of the slicer equal to zero.

    摘要: A gain-controllable stage (CLN, A1, A2 . . . , A7, ACC) comprises a reactive signal divider (CLN) followed by an amplifier arrangement (A1, A2 . . . , A7, ACC). The reactive signal divider (CLN) may be in the form of, for example, a capacitive ladder network. The gain-controllable stage (CLN, A1, A2 . . . , A7, ACC) has a gain factor that depends on a signal division factor that the reactive signal divider (CLN) provides. The reactive signal divider (CLN) forms part of a filter (LC). The signal division factor is adjusted on the basis of a frequency (F) to which the receiver is tuned and a signal-strength indication (RS).
