    摘要: A digital tuning system (250) for changing a cutoff frequency of an analog filter (132) includes digital synthesizers (292 and 294) for producing a two-tone calibration signal (196) applied to an input of the filter after a quality factor of the filter is increased. The filter includes at least one R/C circuit with two resistors (304 and 306) for changing the quality factor and arrays (308 and 310) of capacitors for changing the cutoff frequency. The amplitude of the magnitude responses (409 and 411) of the filter to each tone (405 and 407) is measured by a two discrete Fourier transform single-frequency bin power detection circuits (253 and 254) while the filter is sequenced through a plurality of capacitance settings. An optimal capacitance for the R/C circuit is selected by comparing, to a pre-selected value, a difference between the responses of the filter to each tone, for each capacitance setting.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog converter adapted for use as a feedback converter in a continuous time sigma delta analog-to-digital converter. The digital-to-analog converter has a discrete time digital signal input accepting digital signal samples that are synchronized with an assertion of a first data clock signal and a discrete time clock generator that generates an output pulse in response to receiving an assertion of the first data clock. The output pulse is asserted for a fixed duration that is independent of a jitter of the first data clock. The digital-to-analog converter also includes a continuous time analog output that produces, during assertion of the output pulse, a continuous time analog output signal having a magnitude corresponding to the digital signal samples.

    摘要: An adaptive analog-to-digital converter (ADC) system (100) includes an automatic gain control (AGC) controller (101) for receiving both in-band and out-of-band signals from a radio frequency (RF) receiver and producing an AGC control signal therefrom. A digital signal processor (DSP) (103) is then used for interpreting the AGC control signal and providing an adjustment signal to an ADC (105). The ADC (105) uses the adjustment signal to dynamically control efficiency of the ADC system 100 by adjusting bit resolution, reference capacitance and bias based upon the RF signal received and desired protocol requirements presented to the AGC controller (101).

    摘要: An integrated circuit package (202) includes a voltage regulator (208) and a power-out pin (236) for coupling to a load circuit (210) via a connection (234) external to the integrated circuit package and for coupling to an output (230) of the voltage regulator via a connection (224, 228, 226 and 231) internal to the integrated circuit package. The internal connection has a series resistance that causes a voltage drop due to a load current. The voltage regulator compensates for the voltage drop in the internal connection using a current feedback circuit, in which the current fed back is proportional to the voltage drop caused by the series resistance of the internal connection.

    摘要: A voltage regulator circuit (100) for coupling to a power supply voltage (BPLUS) generates and regulates an output voltage (VREG). The voltage regulator circuit (100) includes a gain control element (148) for controlling the loop gain of the voltage regulator circuit (100) in response to the output current. Under heavy load conditions, the gain control element (148) functions to reduce (716) the output voltage (VREG) and thus the output current of the voltage regulator circuit (100) to avoid an overload that would pull the power supply voltage (BPLUS) below a predetermined level.

    摘要: A low-voltage IF amplifier (112) provides automatic gain control (AGC) of a source amplifier (104) supplying an IF input signal to the IF amplifier (112). The IF amplifier (112) includes cascaded amplifier stages (202) that include an amplifier element (344) having an input (122) for receiving a stage input signal, and an output (124) for generating an amplified stage output signal in response.

The IF amplifier (112) also includes a current summer (206) for summing the gain control currents generated by the RSSDs (346) to produce a total gain control current, and a gain control element (204) that controls the gain of the source amplifier (104) in response to the total gain control current, such that signal levels within the source amplifier (104) are maintained within a linear operating range.
