    摘要: A separate filter circuit is inserted between the D/A converter and the summing junction in the feedback path of a conventional sigma delta modulator. This additional filter allows control of the quantization noise transfer function profile independently of the forward signal transfer function. By proper tailoring of the transfer functions a third or higher order modulator can be constructed without instability developing.

This additional filter allows control of the quantization noise transfer function profile independently of the forward signal transfer function. By proper tailoring of the transfer functions a third or higher order modulator can be constructed without instability developing. The modulator can also be constructed as a completely digital circuit and used as a noise shaping circuit in a digital digital-to-analog converter.

    摘要: Gain linearity problems caused by impact ionization in a active MOS device are avoided by connecting an MOS shield device in series with the active MOS device so that the overall supply voltage is split across two devices, keeping both devices in a region of operation well below where impact ionization becomes a significant problem. The gate of the MOS shield device is maintained at a voltage proportional to its drain voltage, thereby keeping the device in the saturation mode and avoiding an abrupt mode change associated with prior art shield circuits.

    摘要: A voltage comparator (10) includes two sampled input networks connected inarallel between an input reference voltage (Vref) and the inverting input (16) of an integrator (12,14), the other input (18) of which is grounded. The first input network has a first input capacitor (C1) which is through-switched at a first sampling frequency (F1). The second input network has a second input capacitor which is diagonally-switched at a second sampling frequency (F2), thus providing an output voltage to the integrator (12,14) which is of opposite polarity to that of the first network. For a given ratio between the capacitors (C1,C2), the output (15) of the integrator is determined by the relationship between the sampling frequencies (F1,F2), thus providing a comparator capability. Also disclosed is a frequency lock loop (34) in which the output (Vcontrol) of a frequency comparator (38) is filtered of the switching frequencies and utilized as the control voltage for a voltage controlled oscillator (42). The output of the oscillator is then coupled to a switching pulse generator (44) which provides the switching pulses (F2,F2N) to the second input network of the comparator (38).

    摘要: A CMOS circuit (10) for preventing overvoltage between two supply nodes (12,14) makes use of vertical NPN bipolar transistors (80,84) for their current-carrying capability. Zener diodes (16,18,20,22) and a resistor (24) generate a sensing voltage which is amplified by a vertical bipolar transistor (28) and coupled to one input of a comparator (40) which has the other input at a bias voltage node (52) of a voltage divider (54,56,58,60). The comparator output (50) is coupled to the input of a transimpedance transistor (72) which drives the input current of a current mirror (66,74). The output (78) of the current mirror turns on the current-carrying transistors (80,84). Positive feedback for latching is provided by connecting the common gates of the current mirror transistors to the gate of a feedback transistor (86) which has its current path connected between the one supply node and the base (26) of the first bipolar transistor. The vertical bipolar transistors (28,80,84) of the circuit include guard rings (37) of heavily doped material about the emitter (32) and base (34) regions at the surface and tied to the collector voltage.

    摘要: Two input stages (10,12) are interconnected so that their input common mode voltage ranges to one side of signal ground are combined to provide a common mode voltage range substantially equal to the supply voltage. One stage has N-channel differential input transistors (N1,N2), while the other stage has P-channel differential input transistors (P3,P4). The input current branches of the stages are interconnected by current mirror transistors (N6,N7) so that signal current is shared. The output (22) is taken from one branch of the N-type stage (10) and coupled to an output stage (24) with frequency compensation (C,R).
