Abstract:
A circuit for restoring bits transmitted by an asynchronous signal includes a first comparator for comparing the level of the asynchronous signal with a first threshold adjusted as a function of the output of the first comparator during synchronization bursts of the asynchronous signal, and at least a second comparator for comparing the level of the asynchronous signal with a second threshold correlated to the first threshold.
Abstract:
A circuit is provided for clock recovery. The circuit includes a reference extraction unit for extracting from a datastream time references defining a reference time base, and a digital Phase Locked Loop including a first programmable counter in the guise of a digitally controlled oscillator for overseeing an output time base, a second programmable counter in the guise of a loop divider for overseeing a loop time base, and a dedicated processor capable of executing a program including a first software module in the guise of a phase comparator for comparing values of the loop and reference time bases and generating a loop error, and a second software module in the guise of a loop filter for producing an adaptation value of an increment value of the first programmable counter from the loop error. Also provided are a user terminal and a method for clock recovery.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for converting a television image format including two memories for storing image lines, alternatively switched in the read and write mode, and a control circuit issuing to these memories a first write frequency and a second read frequency, the control circuit including programmable means for generating said frequencies controlled by a horizontal synchronization signal, the read frequency being programmed to follow a predefined variation law having a period corresponding to the duration of one scanning line.
