    摘要: Analog-signal integrators are described that have a transfer function containing a composite parameter that is the product of two parameters each of which is separately changeable, via application of digital programming signals. In a continuous analog-signal integrator the integrating capacitor is a programmable capacitor array, preceded in the feed back branch with a programmable voltage divider. In a discrete-time analog-signal integrator the integrating resistor is a switched-capacitor resistor including a programmable capacitor array that is preceded in the input circuit branch by a programmable voltage divider.

    摘要: A notch filter circuit includes first and second operational amplifiers, each having a capacitor connected from the amplifier output to the input. A third capacitor is connected between the second-amplifier input and the filter circuit input. A first switched-capacitor resistor is connected between the filter circuit input and the first-amplifier input. A second switched-capacitor resistor is connected between the first amplifier output and the second amplifier input. The second-amplifier output is connected to the filter circuit output. A third switched-capacitor resistor is connected between said filter circuit output and said first amplifier input; First and second programmable capacitor arrays are connected respectively in parallel with the third switched-capacitor resistor and in parallel with the first switched-capacitor resistor, so that a change only in the capacitance of the second capacitor array causes a corresponding change in the filter notch depth and a change only in the capacitance of the first capacitor array causes a corresponding change in the filter notch width. The first and second capacitor arrays each have a group of digital programming terminals that may be connected together for making fixed the ratio of the capacitance values of the two arrays. A digitally programmable voltage divider circuit connected in series with the second programmable capacitor array permits the independent programing of notch depth, i.e. without affecting notch width.

    摘要: A programmable PD servo compensator has the transfer function of the combination of a standard PD compensator in tandem with a second order low pass filter. The programmable PD servo compensator consists simply of a biquad filter having a single complex zero and a pair of conjugate complex poles. This servo compensator is comprised of two tandem connected operational amplifiers, each with a capacitor connected output to input across it. The tandem connection is effected by one switched-capacitor resistor between the output of the first amplifier to the input of the second. Another switched-capacitor resistor is connected between the PD compensator input and the input of the first amplifier. Yet another switched capacitor is connected between the PD compensator output and the input of the first amplifier. Additionally, a poles Q-programming circuit branch includes a digitally-programmable capacitor array, and a zero programming circuit branch includes another digitally-programmable capacitor array connected in the filter for determining the S-plane position of the zero and determining the relative gains of the proportional and derivative components of the PD compensator output signal. This is therefore an analog-signal handling servo compensator with digital programmability and having high speed, stability and versatility.

    摘要: A digitally programmable integrated-circuit analog-signal servo co-processor has digital programming contact pads to which an external microprocessor may be connected, has analog-signal input pads and analog-signal output pads, and includes a plurality of programmable analog-signal-manipulating circuits (ASMC's). Each of the ASMC's has input and output terminals connected to an input programmable-switch matrix so that one or a combination of the ASMC blocks may be connected between the analog-signal input and output contact pads of the integrated circuit. Certain ASMC blocks have microprocessor programmable transfer functions, e.g. ASMC integrator, notch filter, low pass filter, PD compensator and voltage divider. Key ones of those ASMC blocks are discrete-time circuits including switched-capacitor resistors and have transfer functions wherein the parameters are ratios of capacitances and the switching rate frequency to provide accurate and stable performance. This versatile system of digitally programmable circuit configurations and digitally programmable analog (ASMC) transfer functions provides a hybrid analog and digital servo co-processor having high speed, versatility and stability and a low power consumption.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for converting a DC voltage to a lower DC voltage, provides for conducting current from an input terminal, through an inductor to charge a capacitor connected to the inductor at an output terminal and to provide a varying range of load current from the output terminal, alternately switching the input terminal between a supply voltage and a ground potential to produce a desired voltage at the output terminal that is lower than the supply voltage, while providing the varying range of load current, and disconnecting the input terminal from both the supply voltage and the ground potential to reduce an increase in voltage at the output terminal caused by a substantial reduction in the load current, while current through the inductor adjusts in response to the reduced load current.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for performing multiple correlated double sampling (CDS) operations on an imaging pixel, and in some cases on an array of imaging pixels, during a single integration cycle of the pixel(s). The multiple CDS operations may produce multiple CDS values, which may be processed in combination to produce a resulting value substantially free of various types of noise. The CDS operations may be performed using a CDS circuit including a single-ended charge amplifier having an input capacitor. The charge amplifier may also include a variable capacitance providing a variable gain. The variable capacitance may be provided by a feedback capacitor.
