Abstract:
Two semiconductor chips having complementary MOS circuits are interconnected by means of an output stage provided on the first chip and an input stage provided on the second chip. The connection is a high-speed connection despite the relatively high internal impedance of the MOS transistors. The output stage incorporates MOS transistors for transforming the signal level to a relatively low level, and the input stage incorporates MOS transistors interconnected as a pulsed trigger or amplifier for restoring the low signal to a relatively high level for connection to other MOS circuits.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating recursive filter circuits or analog storage circuits constructed according to the charge coupled device principle and relates to a circuit arrangement for implementing the method, in which method only each respective second stage of a CCD is occupied with a charge representing a sampling value of an analog signal and the respective stages lying between these stages concerned and left empty. Known circuits constructed according to the CCD principle conduct the signal from the output stage of a CCD chain to the input of the CCD loop via an amplifier to which the input signal is supplied at the same time. Thereby, the amplification must very precisely amount to one. An amplifier of the high stability required thereto which is arranged in common with the concerned CCD on a chip cannot be satisfactorily realized. By means of the invention, a method is specified in which the amplifier is replaced by means of modulation of a sampling value with a reference signal and by means of a charge amount corrected in accord with the result of the modulation.
Abstract:
A method for analyzing and displaying process states of a technical plant includes enabling simultaneous, coherent assessment and display of relevant process variables of the plant by evaluating relevant process variables with regard to one another through the use of a neural analysis on the basis of self-organizing maps, by making a topology-producing projection of data of the relevant process variables onto a neural map. The current process courses are plotted as trajectories on the map. Evaluation in the sense of a diagnosis can be carried out either visually or in an automated manner.
Abstract:
A static semiconductor storage element includes a flip-flop formed of a pair of complementary field effect transistors which are cross coupled without intersection to form a bistable circuit. One node of the flip-flop is connected to a terminal which is employed for both reading and writing functions. The flip-flop is set or reset by connection of an appropriate voltage to the node, and nondestructive read out is carried out by sensing the voltage level of the node.

Abstract:
A pair of bipolar transistors are formed in a semiconductor substrate with each transistor having at least one emitter, one base and at least one collector. At least the base is in the form of a doped zone in the substrate. The two base zones are electrically conductively connected to one another and the transistors are constructed or arranged in the substrate in such a manner that in each case free boundary faces of the two base zones lie opposite one another. The base connection is formed by an additionally doped zone in the interspace between the base zones, the doped zone having the same type of doping as the base zones.
Abstract:
An electronic control system for analog circuits has controllable analogue circuits which can be combined with one another by way of an electronic switching network. The digital states of the individual crosspoints of the switching network can be programmed by way of a common switching network. In addition, circuitry is provided for adjusting the operating parameters of the individual analogue circuits and the adjustment is accomplished through the values for the operating parameters being determined in a parameter memory according to a program. Finally, a synchronization of the functional sequence of the programs present in two memories is provided.
