    摘要: A low-EMI switched circuit comprises two or more switches, wherein impedance transitions of the switches are overlapped and the overlap is varied using variable switch timing based on an output power level of the switched circuit. The variable timing results in a variable impedance overlap between the switches. In one example, when one switch turns off (begins a low to high impedance transition) and a second switch turns on (begins a high to low impedance transition), a greater timing delay in beginning the second switch's transition results in a higher switch impedance overlap than a shorter delay does. If the variable timing is based on output power of the switched circuit, the variable delay can operate to reduce fly-back voltages at high power output levels and reduce shoot-through current at lower power levels, reducing EMI and quiescent current of the switched circuit.

    摘要: A voltage controlled oscillator (600) includes a voltage to current portion (400) that is inversely proportional to the semiconductor processing in order to compensate for variations both in the low-frequency and high-frequency portions of the VCO gain response. To compensate for low-frequency variations, a portion of the control current (ICTL), non-compensated control current ICTLNC (436), is subtracted from a reference current IREF (408) and the result, a low-frequency compensating control current, ICTLLF (438), is added to the non-compensated control current ICTLNC (436). To compensate for high frequency variations, a number of differential transistor pairs (410-416) are provided that have tail currents that are inversely proportional to the processing. One input (426) to all the differential pairs is connected to the VCO's control voltage while the other inputs (418-424) are connected to successively increasing voltages in the control voltage range. One output, ICTLHF (440), of all the differential pairs is summed with the non-compensated control current ICTLNC (436) while the other output of each differential pair is connected to the power supply. By adjusting the amount of non-compensated control current ICTLNC (436) provided to transistor M1 using the low frequency gain compensation circuit 402 and high frequency gain compensation circuit 404, VCO (400) provides for a process-insensitive, substantially constant gain VCO.
