A multi-sample multi-channel digital decimator filter producing a Finite Impulse filtering Response (FIR) from 128 digital filter coefficients for 4 independent channels with a decimation ratio of 32, i.e. each from 1,024 kHz 1-bit inputs to 32 kHz multibit outputs, splits cyclically the coefficient values in 16 groups of 8, according to the coefficient positions, into 4 Read Only Memory modules (0, 1, 2, 3). The Read Only Memory modules are coupled to the 4 multipliers (MULT 0, 1, 2, 3), wherein the coefficient value is multiplied by that of the input bit, through a multiplexer (MUXI) being able to cycle through 4 distinct conditions. The 4 adder accumulators (ACC 0, 1, 2, 3) are coupled to the outputs of their respective channel multipliers. They each partially compute in parallel outputs words using one sixteenth of the coefficients and the multiplexer rotates these words, thereby enabling complete computation in 4 cycles. 4 registers (REG 00, 01, 02, 03) are associated to each adder so as to compute 4 staggered output words simultaneously for each channel. A preferred filtering response can reduce the size of the Read Only Memory modules.

A multiplex interpolator handles 4 series of multibit input words . . . , Si, Si+1, . . . applied in parallel at 32 kHz after conversion through an input series to parallel converter (SIPO) and produces 4 series of multibit output words at 256 kHz with the help of a parallel adder/subtractor (ADD) operated in multiplex to compute successively for each of the 4 series of input words, the output words 8Si, 7Si+Si+1, . . . , Si+7Si+1, 8Si+1, . . . , each addition of Si+1-Si being also computed by the adder/subtractor in two steps, first by subtracting (c1) Si from the accumulated (IVC) value and second, by adding (d1) Si+1 to the newly accumulated value, the adder/subtractor being initialized after each pair of steps prior to processing data pertaining to another of the 4 input words in a cyclic manner.

A data, synchronization device adapted to re-synchronize a multi-level digital signal (IN; OUT) with an output or local clock signal (CLKO). In case of a binary signal, the device includes two counter systems (CA1-CC1, MAJ1, SEL1; CA0-CC0, MAJ0, SEL0) each associated with a logical level of the signal and counting the number of successive 1's or 0's respectively. These counter systems produce a count number including the number of counted bits and their level. The device further includes a decoder (DEC) generating in synchronism with the local clock signal (CLKO) a number of bits which is a function of the count numbers. These generated bits constitute the requested output signal (OUT). The data synchronization device further includes delay module (DEL) for deriving from an input clock signal (CLKI) received with the input signal (IN), three intermediate clock signals (OA-OC) shifted in phase with respect to each other and each controlling one of a set of three counters (CA1-CC1; CA0-CC0) included in each of the counter systems. The latter also each include a majority voting module (MAJ1; MAJ0) reading the numbers of bits counted by the three counters of the corresponding set, comparing these numbers and selecting the subset of at least two counters having counted a same number of bits. The number of bits counted by the majority of the set counters is assumed to be correct and is therefore transferred to the decoder (DEC).
摘要:
Based on the insight that the voltage-to-current ratio or gain of a capacitor (Z) at a particular reference frequency is the product of its capacitance value with said reference frequency, a tuning system is disclosed which tunes the center frequency of an analog bandpass filter by tuning the characteristic integrator frequency (fc) of an OTA-C integrator by making the transconductance of the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) thereof equal to the aforementioned gain at that characteristic frequency. Therefore, the tuning system includes a first tuning path in which the OTA, (or a replica thereof) is included and a second tuning path including another amplifier (B-OTA) "degenerated" by the capacitor (Z) so as to produce the required gain. The gains of both these tuning paths are then equalized by matching means (MM) generating a frequency tuning signal (VTF) which is applied to both OTA and OTA-C.
摘要:
A tunable quadrature phase shifter including two branches each constituted by the cascade connection of a filter, an amplifier and a summing circuit, and two cross-connections constituted by amplifiers interconnecting the filter of one branch to the summing circuit of the opposite branch. An accurate 90 degrees phase shift between the two output signals is obtained by controlling the tail currents of the four amplifiers. The phase shifter used in mobile telecommunication transceivers may be easily and accurately tuned because the signals used in the summing circuits all have a similar amplitude. It is further adapted to operate with only a 3 Volt battery supply as used in wireless phones. The bandwidth of the amplifiers is increased by using double differential pair amplifiers which behave as cascode arrangements.

A differential pair arrangement is disclosed which includes between the poles of a DC supply source the series connection of two parallel first branches and a common second branch. Each first branch includes the series connection of a first impedance Q2, Q3, RL/ Q2', Q3', RL', a main path of a transistor Q1/ Q1'and a second impedance RE/RE', the control electrodes of transistors Q1/ Q1' constituting respective input terminals IN1/ IN2 of the arrangement. The second branch includes a first current source (CCS). The arrangement further includes two third branches between the DC supply source poles, each consisting of the series connection of a second current source ICS/ICS', a respective transistor main path and a resistive impedance means R11, S11, R12, S12/ R11', S11', R12', S12'. These third branches result in an increased DC current through the corresponding transistor, thereby increasing the linearity of the arrangement, whilst the DC current through the first and second impedances does not increase, thereby not increasing the needed supply voltage nor the offset voltage of the arrangement.
摘要:
The invention concerns an analog to digital converter (ADC1, ADC2) for converting an analog input voltage (Vin) into a digital output voltage (Dout) in at least two stages, (B1, B2, B3, B1', B2', B3'). The reference voltage (Vref) or part thereof driving a stage is applied to that stage via switching means so that the voltage applied to the latter means is determined when the switching means is set, i.e. the latter voltage is not dependent of the setting of the switching means. Two implementations of the converter are described, one (ADC1) which produces the digital signal (Dout) before another analog voltage (Vin) can be processed, and another (ADC2) which allows another analog voltage (Vin) to be processed by a stage after the output of that stage is produced.

The modulator proper comprises the cascade connection of an amplifier (T11, T21, CS11, T12, T22, CS12) and a first switching circuit (R11, T31, T51, R12, T32, T52), while the generator comprises the cascade connection of the same amplifier and a second switching circuit (R21, T61, T42, R22, T62, T41) having a correction output (P11, P12) coupled to a feedback input (P21, P22) of the amplifier via a feedback circuit (T71, R31, CS21, T72, R32, CS22). The amplifier and the switching circuits are controlled by a modulating signal and a carrier signal respectively and the first and second switching circuits provide a modulated output signal and a correction signal substantially equal to the envelope of the modulated output signal and used to decrease the modulator distortion.
摘要:
An amplifier includes two differential amplifiers which are connected to an output stage comprising two field effect transistors of opposite conductivity typed directly coupled in series between opposite poles of a DC voltage source. The junction between the two output transistors constitutes the output of the amplifier. A negative feedback loop connects the amplifier's output to the inputs of the differential amplifiers. A correction arrangement is provided to prevent excessive current consumption and cross-over distortion. Preferably, the correction arrangement uses a pair of current mirror circuits to generate respective measuring currents proportional to the current in each of the output transistors. Each such measuring current is compared with a reference current. Any difference between the measuring current and the reference current causes a change in the voltage on the control electrode of the other output transistor, which in turn results in a change in the output voltage and thus a change in the negative feedback applied to both differential amplifiers.
