摘要:
A discrete time filter achieves gain by sampling a signal using capacitors arranged in a one configuration and then changing the capacitors to a series configuration to develop a filter output voltage. In at least one embodiment, a variable gain filter is achieved by varying the number of capacitors that are active in the filter.

Disclosed is a system and method for controlling a resonance frequency of a Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) device. The system includes at least one switching capacitor coupled to the FBAR device and a modulator. The at least one switching capacitor includes at least one capacitor and a switch configuration disposed in series with the FBAR device and the at least one capacitor, which is switch configuration capable of opening and closing connection of the at least one capacitor with the FBAR device. The modulator is coupled to the switch configuration, which generates a switching condition signal based on the manufacturing variation in the FBAR device and the environmental effects on the FBAR device. The switch configuration performs opening and closing of the connection of the at least one capacitor and the FBAR device based on the switching condition signal.

A hardened latch capable of providing protection against single event upsets (SEUs) is disclosed. The hardened latch includes a first latch and a second latch that mirrors a subset of gates of the first latch. The second latch is inserted in the feedback path of the keeper circuit of the first latch and is cross-coupled with the gates of the keeper circuit of the first latch. The latch is hardened against single event upsets and an arbitrary number of successive SEUs attacking a single node, provided that the time between successive SEUs is larger than the recovery time of the latch. An alternate embodiment of the hardened latch includes a split buffer output. This embodiment is capable of reducing the propagation of erroneous transients. Another alternate embodiment of the hardened latch includes a Miller C buffer output. This embodiment is capable of reducing the propagation of erroneous transients below the level achievable in a hardened latch employing a split buffer output.

Analog circuits for providing one or more waveform parameters, e.g., the DC offset or average, of an analog input signal. Separate biasing is not necessarily required. Some embodiments comprise field-effect-transistors (FETs) configured in various diode-connected configurations that take advantage of leakage currents through the FETs so that long resistors or large capacitors are not necessarily required. One embodiment comprises two diode-connected FETs to provide an unbiased DC offset voltage of an analog input signal.
