摘要： A translator-translator logic (TTL) to emitter coupled logic or current mode logic (ECL/CML) input buffer and translator circuit provides temperature compensated input and threshold signal voltage levels to a translator circuit ECL gate for improved operation of the translator circuit. A threshold clamp circuit is coupled between an on-chip band-gap bias generator and the base node of the reference transistor element of the translator circuit ECL gate. The threshold clamp circuit maintains a substantially fixed temperature compensated reference voltage or threshold voltage level at the base node of the reference transistor element, referenced to the temperature compensated current source voltage level V.sub.cs from the bias generator. An input clamp circuit also references the logic high signal voltage level V.sub.TH at the base node of the ECL gate input transistor element to V.sub.CS.

摘要： An ECL/CML to TTL translator circuit couples the output of an ECL/CML gate to the input of a TTL gate. The ECL/CML gate operates with reference to a first power rail higher reference voltage level with transistor elements operating in the non-saturation operating region. The TTL gate operates with reference to a second power rail lower reference voltage level with transistor elements operating in the saturation threshold operating region. The translator circuit includes a reference voltage level shifting constant current non-switching current mirror circuit coupled to the output of the ECL/CML gate for shifting the reference voltage level of the ECL/CML gate output from the higher reference voltage level to the lower reference voltage level. An operating region translating emitter follower output buffer circuit is coupled to receive the voltage level shifted output signal and drive the input of the TTL gate. The circuit functions of reference voltage level shifting and of operating region translating are thereby separated. Base drive to the phase splitter transistor element is limited by a base drive limiting anti-saturation clamp circuit. More generally, an overdrive and anti-saturation clamp control circuit provides high speed switching of a phase splitter transistor element, pulldown transistor element, or other TTL switching transistor element for generalized application in TTL internal and output gates and buffers. The overdrive and clamp control circuit provides a "programmable" base-collector clamp voltage for operation of TTL switching transistor elements in "soft" saturation, in threshold saturation, or entirely out of saturation for operation of linear TTL circuits.

摘要： A non-inverting TTL buffer circuit provides an input for receiving data signals at high and low potential levels and an output for transmitting data signals in phase with the input. The base node of an emitter follower transistor element is coupled to a collector node of the input transistor circuit in an inverting coupling. The emitter node is coupled to a base node of the phase splitter transistor element for sourcing base driven current to the phase splitter transistor element in response to data signals at the input. The emitter follower provides transient "overdrive" for fast turn on of the phase splitter. A first clamp circuit between the base node of the emitter follower transistor element and the low potential power rail clamps the base node at a low potential level when the emitter follower transistor element is relatively non-conducting and establishes the input threshold voltage level. A second clamp circuit coupled to the base node of the emitter follower transistor element clamps the base node at a high potential level for limiting base drive current to the phase splitter transistor element from the emitter follower transistor element. The second clamp circuit limits saturation of the phase splitter transistor element and improves switching speed. The second clamp circuit is preferably coupled between the base node of the emitter follower transistor element and a collector node of the phase splitter transistor element and includes a "programmable" resistor voltage drop component for limiting operation of the phase splitter transistor element to the desired operating region.

摘要： A TTL inverter buffer circuit is provided with a switched current that produces hysteresis in the threshold values. The current is switched on by a control circuit when the input logic is low and off when the logic is high. The control circuit receives its sense from the logic state so that when the input logic is low a high threshold is created and when the input logic is high a low threshold is created. The difference is the circuit hysteresis voltage which is dependent upon the switched current and a resistor.

摘要： A frequency synthesizer device with a fast off-to-lock time to enable intermittent operation and achieve power savings through automatic control of its On/Off sequence.A relatively fast off-to-lock time is achieved by controlling the sequence of how various components of the synthesizer are reactivated. The voltage controlled oscillator is reactivated, at first operating at its previous operating frequency prior to being deactivated. The phase frequency detector is inhibited while its input signals, a reference signal and a feedback signal, are activated. In a channel hopping communication scheme, the phase frequency detector coarsely tunes the synthesizer to its previous operating frequency, and then jumps to its new operating frequency. Another aspect of the invention provides improved channel locking by guaranteeing that the phase of the feedback signal in a phase lock loop initially lags the phase of the reference frequency signal at the phase frequency detector.

摘要： Dual phase splitter transistor elements, an output phase splitter transistor element and a secondary phase splitter transistor element, are coupled in current mirror configuration in a TTL output buffer circuit. The output phase splitter transistor element is coupled to the pullup and pulldown transistor elements for controlling the respective conducting states of the pullup and pulldown transistor elements. The collector of the secondary phase splitter transistor element is coupled in a supplemental circuit which can have a variable load without direct connection to the pullup transistor element and output. A low impedance current sourcing active transistor element is coupled in emitter follower configuration at the collector node of the secondary phase splitter transistor element for supplying mirroring current through the emitter of the secondary phase splitter transistor element to reduce current hogging at the dual phase splitter transistor elements. The current sourcing transistor element is coupled in parallel with the supplemental circuit thereby providing a variable current which varies inversely with the collector current supplied by the supplemental circuit. The invention is applied in a JK flip flop circuit as the output buffer circuits with the collector of the secondary phase splitter transistor element coupled to the cross feedback circuit. The cross feedback transistor element in the cross feedback circuit is therefore isolated from the pullup transistor element and output avoiding feedback transistor breakdown when the output is at high potential. The current sourcing transistor element prevents current hogging between the dual phase splitter transistor elements.
