    摘要: A timed bistable circuit is described which includes two inverters each having its input connected to the output of the other, an output of the circuit via a “buffer” and an input of the circuit via a controlled electronic switch. The supply terminals of the inverters are connected to the supply terminals of the circuit via another two controlled switches. A clock generator provides timing signals to control both the input switches to open or close and to control the supply switches to close or open when the input switches are open or closed respectively. To obtain a latch usable in a comparator at a high comparison frequency the offset referred to the input is reduced and made independent of the frequency by arranging two further electronic switches between the supply terminals of the inverters and the supply terminals which are controlled by a timing signal in such a way as to close with a predetermined delay with respect to the closure of the input switches and to open when input switches open.

    摘要: A voltage-controlled oscillator, with high noise rejection of the supply voltage, includes a plurality of delay cells in an odd number N.gtoreq.3, which are connected to form a first ring oscillator and powered by the difference between a supply voltage Vcc and a variable regulating voltage VR. The VCO comprises at least one second ring oscillator formed by a plurality of delay cells in an odd number M.gtoreq.3, at least one of which is also a delay cell of the first oscillator and at least two of which do not belong to the first oscillator. At least one of these two cells is powered by a constant voltage (Vcc), in such a manner that the two oscillators operate at the same frequency and the interaction between the two oscillators introduces a high-frequency negative feedback which has the effect of effectively reducing the noise of the supply voltage Vcc.

    摘要: A method of improving the signal/noise ratio of a sigma-delta modulator during the re-establishment of its stability that includes: defining a bit sequence corresponding to a state of instability of the modulator, monitoring the flow of bits output by the modulator to check whether it contains the instability bit sequence, and resetting the modulator to zero if the instability bit sequence is detected at the output. To ensure a high signal/noise ratio of the modulator even during the detection and re-establishment of stability, the method also includes: delaying the flow of bits output by the modulator at least for the time required to detect the instability bit sequence and modifying the output bit sequence during the delay period by replacing it with a predetermined bit sequence.
