    摘要： A method and system for monitoring and compensating the performance of an operational circuit is provided. The system includes one or more integrated circuit chips and a controller. Each integrated circuit chip includes one or more operational circuits, each operational circuit having at least one controllable circuit parameter. Each integrated circuit chip also includes a process monitor module at least partially constructed thereon. The controller is coupled to each process monitor module and to each operational circuit. The controller includes logic for evaluating the performance of an operational circuit based on data obtained from process monitor module and operational circuit related data stored in a memory. Based on the evaluation, the controller determines whether any deviations from desired or optimal performance of the circuit exist. If deviations exist, the controller generates a control signal to initiate adjustments to the operational circuit to compensate for the deviations.

    摘要： The present invention is an integrated set-top box. In one embodiment, the up-stream path and the down-stream path are integrated on a common semiconductor substrate. The down-stream path can include a TV tuner and a digital receiver portion that is integrated on the common semiconductor substrate with a power amplifier of the up-stream path. In another embodiment, the TV tuner is implemented on a first semiconductor substrate and the digital receiver portion and the power amplifier are configured on a second semiconductor substrate. However, the two substrates are mounted on a common carrier so that the set-top box appears to be a single chip configuration to the user.

    摘要： The present invention provides systems and methods for asymmetrically varying gain in a low noise amplifier. The amplifier includes a first stage amplifier, a plurality of second stage amplifiers coupled to the first stage amplifier, a comparator coupled to one of the second stage amplifiers, and a controller coupled to the comparator, the first stage amplifier, and the plurality of second stage amplifiers. The controller is configured to produce one or more gain control signals to change the gain of one of the first stage amplifier or the plurality of second stage amplifiers at a plurality of asymmetric rates so as to cause the power of the output signal to move toward one of the threshold values of the comparator. The rate of change of the gain is based on conditions including the gain of the first stage amplifier, gain of a second stage amplifier, and the sampled power level.

    摘要： Systems and methods for demodulating a plurality of contiguous channels contained within a bandlimited portion of a radio-frequency (RF) input signal are provided. In an embodiment, the bandlimited portion of the RF input signal is down-converted to baseband. After down-conversion, the bandlimited portion overlaps at baseband with a mirror image of the bandlimited portion. The plurality of contiguous channels within the down-converted signal similarly overlap at baseband and subsequently occupy a bandwidth substantially equal to half that required before down-converting. Image rejection is performed in the digital domain to recover each of the plurality of overlapping channels.

    摘要： A varactor folding technique reduces noise in controllable electronic oscillators through the use of a series of varactors having relatively small capacitance. A folding circuit provides control signals to the varactors in a sequential manner to provide a relatively smooth change in the total capacitance of the oscillator. Consequently, effective control of the oscillator is achieved with accompanying reductions in oscillator noise such as flicker noise.
