    摘要: A 12-bit sub-ranging A/D converter which operates through four successive sub-ranging cycles with an 8:1 gain change between the cycles. The residue signal for each cycle is directed to a four-bit flash converter the output of which sets the latches for corresponding bit-current-sources of a DAC. The flash converter input circuit comprises identical residue and reference amplifiers driving symmetrical residue and reference networks for controlling the flash converter comparators. The DAC output for each cycle is compared with the analog input signal to produce a corresponding new residue signal. There are 15 bit-current-sources, three for the first cycle, and four for each of the last three cycles. The MSB of each group of four bit-current sources is an overlap bit having the same current weighting as the LSB of the preceding group. Setting of the overlap bit makes it possible to develop a correct output for the DAC for each of the 2nd through 4th cycles without altering bits already determined in previous cycles. The converter provides an optional 5th cycle making possible a 14-bit output or an increased yield of 12-bit converters.

    摘要: A dissipative-type muffler for attenuating the high velocity discharge of a high pressure-high temperature safety valve. A path of flow constituting four stages of controlled turbulence suppressed diffusion is formed internally of the muffler extending from an intake into a plenum chamber then distributed past a plurality of parallel arranged radial diffuser flanges and an acoustical liner before exiting to atmosphere at relatively low velocity and low noise level. Laminar flow to small scale turbulence is obtained in the first stage by a jet impingement directional reversal in a controlled spacing discharge from an intake pipe within the plenum chamber. In the second stage, small scale discharge turbulence of high frequency is achieved by laminar flow induced via radial diffusion through controlled gap spacings between the diffuser flanges. Buffer plate impingement of the second stage discharge is then effected in the third stage after which high frequency noise attenuation by means of an acoustical composition is obtained in the fourth stage before exiting to atmosphere.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for jitter and load insensitive charge transfer are disclosed. A quantity of charge is transferred to or from a load during a transfer interval, wherein the charge transferred is significantly insensitive to load characteristics and variations in the transfer interval. A succession of identical or different quantities of charge may be transferred to or from the load during successive transfer intervals. The charge transfer circuit may be employed in mixed switched/continuous-time circuit configurations, and in particular may be used as a unipolar or bipolar one-bit digital-to-analog converter to provide quantized feedback in a sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter circuit configuration. The charge transfer circuit avoids problems of integrating amplifier nonlinearity and input signal distortion in such sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter circuits, and facilitates monolithic fabrication of sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters using standard integrated circuit fabrication techniques.

    摘要: A sample/hold amplifier comprising two transconductance stages with their inverting input terminals connected together. In sample mode, the input signal is connected to the non-inverting input of the first stage, and a hold capacitor is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second stage and driven by the amplifier output through a feedback circuit which forces the hold capacitor voltage to track the input signal. Upon switchover to hold mold, the roles of the two transconductance stages are interchanged: The non-inverting input terminal of the first stage is connected through a feedback circuit to the amplifier output, and the second stage receives as an input signal the voltage of the hold capacitor, which now is disconnected from the amplifier output. The net offset voltage developed on the hold capacitor is the difference between the respective offsets of the two transconductance stages. This net offset voltage is compensated for by an equal and opposite voltage in hold mode, due to the interchange of roles of the two transconductance stages.
