    摘要: A duty correction circuit is formed using at least one delay circuit, which is constituted of a first inverter including three transistors of different conduction types and a second inverter including three other transistors of different conduction types and which delays and adjusts an input clock signal at the leading-edge/trailing-edge timing so as to convert it into an output clock signal based on a first or second bias voltage produced by a bias circuit detecting the duty ratio of the output clock signal. The duty correction circuit decreases the high-level period of the output clock signal having a high duty ratio based on the first bias voltage. Alternatively, the duty correction circuit increases the high-level period of the output clock signal having a low duty ratio based on the second bias voltage.

    摘要: A DLL circuit includes a delay line (CDL) (10) that delays a clock signal at a relatively coarse adjustment pitch, a delay line (FDL) (20) that delays the clock signal at a relatively fine adjustment pitch, and phase detecting circuits and counter control circuits that control delay amounts of the delay lines (10, 20). The counter control circuits control the delay line (10) by a linear search method, and control the delay line (20) by a binary search method. As a result, even when the number of bits of the count signal for adjusting the delay line (20) is increased, a delay amount can be determined at a high speed.

    摘要: A duty detection circuit includes discharge transistors, charge transistors, detection lines, and a comparator circuit that detects a potential difference of these detection lines, and also includes a gate circuit that controls the discharge transistors and the charge transistors in response to the internal clock signal of an even cycle. As a result, the detection lines are charged and discharged in response to the internal clock signal of the even cycle. Consequently, the duty detection circuit can be applied to a multi-phase DLL circuit, and a potential difference appearing in the detection line can be sufficiently secured.

    摘要: Disclosed is a timing control circuit that receives a first clock having a period T1, a group of second clocks of L different phases spaced apart from each other at substantially equal intervals and selection signals m, n supplied thereto and generates a fine timing signal delayed from the rising edge of the first clock signal by a delay td of approximately td=m·T1+n·(T2/L). The timing control circuit includes a coarse delay circuit and a fine delay circuit. The coarse delay circuit includes a counter for counting a rising edge of the first clock signal after an activate signal is activated and generates a coarse timing signal whose amount of delay from the first clock signal is approximately m·T1. The fine delay circuit comprises L-number of multiphase clock control delay circuits disposed in parallel, delays by n·T2/L the timing of sampling of the coarse timing signal by respective clocks of the group of L-phase second clocks, and takes the OR among the resulting delayed pulses to thereby produce the fine timing signal.

    摘要: In an image forming apparatus of the present invention, an idle roller once stops rotating when a front edge of a sheet conveyed reaches the idle roller. The idle roller restarts rotating at such a timing that a front edge of a toner image on a photoreceptor and a front edge of an image writing position on the sheet are aligned with each other. Then, even if a rear edge of the sheet is still in the idle roller, the idle roller stops rotating when the front edge of the sheet is sandwiched between a transfer roller and the photoreceptor. By carrying out such operations, it is possible to avoid by a very simple way an occurrence of a slip phenomenon that is a phenomenon of slipping of the sheet with respect to the photoreceptor while suppressing a reduction in image quality as much as possible. In addition, it is also possible to surely secure a blank space formed at a rear edge portion of the sheet.

    摘要: A DLL circuit includes a coarse delay adjustment circuit and a fine delay adjustment circuit, which further includes a first fine delay circuit and a second fine delay circuit serving as an interpolation circuit. The coarse delay adjustment circuit delays a reference clock signal by a plurality of delay stages so as to provide the first fine delay circuit with two phase signals having the phase difference of two delay stages, which are then converted into two delay signals having the phase difference of one delay stage. The delay signals are subjected to interpolation, thus producing an output clock signal. Due to a reduction of the phase difference in the first fine delay circuit, it is possible to reduce the minimum operation cycle of the interpolation circuit and to thereby increase the maximum operation frequency of the DLL circuit.

    摘要: A paper feeder comprises an acquiring device, a driving roller, driven rollers, a driven roller supporter, a driver, and a controller. The acquiring device acquires thickness information on a sheet of paper. The driving roller rotates by being supplied with torque. The driven rollers rotate with the driving roller when in compressive contact with the driving roller. The driven roller supporter so supports the driven rollers that each of them can rotate under a different rotational load. The driver changes the position of the driven roller supporter relative to the driving roller. The controller selects one of the driven rollers on the basis of the thickness information and so activates the driver as to bring the selected roller into compressive contact with the driving roller.
