    摘要: A peak detector circuit that responds rapidly to power transients, and yet is able to avoid interpreting data fluctuations as power transients by generating dual peak signals from an amplifier's differential output signal, where the dual peak signals have data ripple components that tend to cancel one another. The system and methods permit the peak detectors to be much more responsive to power transients by expanding their bandwidth (shortening the time constants) to the point that low frequency data components affect the individual peak detector signals, but the effects are cancelled out when the individual components are added together. The peak detector described herein may be used in an AGC system to provide ripple-free gain control signals, while rapidly following any power transients in transmitted signals.

    摘要: A variable gain amplifier and offset cancellation loop circuit and methods for tracking and correcting DC offset errors that may vary in accordance with the gain of the variable gain amplifier. The circuit is designed to provide tracking of rapid changes in the offset error while maintaining a desired overall frequency response of the combined variable gain amplifier and offset loop. The offset loop cancellation circuit has a wide enough bandwidth to allow the offset cancellation loop to track rapid changes in offset errors that result from rapid changes to the amplifier's gain setting. A control circuit is provided to prevent the large offset cancellation loop bandwidth from having a detrimental effect on the amplifier's overall bandwidth when the amplifier is set to high levels of forward gain by adjusting the offset cancellation loop gain as the forward gain of the amplifier is altered.

    摘要: An electronic amplifier circuit that provides improved gain control linearity characteristics resulting from having a controllable field effect transistor (FET) acting as a degeneration resistance (degeneration resistance FET) and a controllable load resistance FET. The overall gain function of the amplifier exhibits improved linearity in part due to the presence of the load FET, which tends to cancel the nonlinear behavior emanating from the degeneration FET. The circuit also includes a control circuit for generating non-linear control signals that are responsive to process characteristics of the FETs, such that the degeneration resistance FET and load resistance FETs may be controlled more consistently and independently from process variations.

    摘要: A phase detector apparatus and method used for clock recovery from a data signal is provided. The phase detector provides phase correction signals to a clock signal generator, where the phase correction signals are only generated if a predetermined data sample pattern is observed. In particular, the predetermined data sample pattern is preferably a transition from one to zero. Thus, transitions from zero to one will not provide a valid phase update output signal, even though a transition has occurred. In other embodiments the predetermined data sample pattern is preferably a one to zero transition preceded by an additional logic one sample.

    摘要: A noise tolerant voltage controlled oscillator is described. The voltage controlled oscillator include a varactor element as part of an LC tank circuit. The varactor element is biased by a bias signal and a bias-dependent control signal. The bias-dependent control signal tunes the LC tank circuit. Because the control signal is bias-dependent, noise and other deleterious influences do not cause the varactor element to deviate in capacitance. Instead, the bias-dependent control signal is a tuning signal that is centered around the bias signal, which allows the varactor element to provide a constant capacitance in the event of a varying bias signal.
