    摘要: To suppress oscillation modes, in particular, higher-order oscillation modes, in a ring oscillator comprising delay elements forming the oscillator ring and being linked by nodes in the ring, and further comprising a gate element located in the oscillator ring which is activated by a control signal to open and close the gate element, the control signal is derived from at least one of the levels of the oscillator signal at the nodes. The control signal is such that the normal oscillation mode, that is, the fundamental oscillation and/or another desired higher-order oscillation, is not affected by the gate. However, unwanted oscillation modes (e.g., the higher oscillation modes) are effectively suppressed in the case of the fundamental oscillation representing the normal oscillation mode.

    摘要: In integrators which integrate the analog photocurrent of a photodiode (PD), the amplification-bandwidth product is relatively small on account of the parallel parasitic capacitance (Cp) of the photodiode (PD). However, in a design with a switched capacitor (C1), the bandwidth and at the same time the DC amplification must be large, so as to assure the integrator function even at low frequencies. So as to fulfill both of these mutually contradictory requirements for large bandwidth and high DC amplification, a reference voltage (V1) is present at a voltage divider that includes a resistor (R2) and a circuit section (R1) connected in series thereto, as well as at the photodiode (PD). The connection point of the voltage divider is connected to the inverting input of the transconductance amplifier (V). In a preferred embodiment, the circuit section (R1) is realized as a switched capacitor (C1), and the resistance (R2) is realized as an MOS transistor (T1). As an integrated switching circuit, the invention is especially suited for sigma-delta-analog converters.

    摘要: A function generator includes a switching stage for forming a defined signal waveform. The switching stage includes switching transistors that are turned on in a predetermined sequence of undelayed and delayed clock signals, with an output node summing the output currents of the switching transistors. The function generator also includes a delay device that generates the undelayed and delayed clock signals from an applied clock signal. The delays of the delayed clock signals define predetermined instants within at least one period of the applied clock signal. The switching edge is divided into different time ranges whose respective edge steepnesses are adjustable independently of each other. By point-mirroring the signal waveform about a medium value of the signal edge, frequencies at twice, four times, six times, etc. the frequency of the fundamental signal frequency are reduced. Due to the sinusoidal shape of the switching edges, electromagnetic emissions are reduced because of the reduced amplitude of the harmonics. The electromagnetic emission reduction applies both to pure clock signals and to other digital signals, including control, data, or supply lines.

    摘要: A semiconductor component on a semiconductor chip comprises at least one sensor element for measuring a physical quantity and an evaluator. The semiconductor component can be switched between a first and a second operating mode. In the first operating mode, the sensor element is sensitive to the physical quantity to be measured and a measurement signal output of the sensor element is connected to an input connection of the evaluator. In the second operating mode, the sensor element is not sensitive to the physical quantity to be measured and/or the signal path between the measurement signal output and the input connection is interrupted. A test signal source for generating a test signal simulating the measurement signal of the sensor element is arranged on the semiconductor chip. In the second operating mode, the test signal source is connected or capable of being connected to the input connection of the evaluator.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and device for transmitting data between at least two transmitters and a receiver which are connected to a bus. A synchronization signal is applied to the bus and a number of data volume counters corresponding to the number of transmitters reduced by one is set to a predefined initial value. A first transmitter transmits in the form of data elements a predefined data volume allocated to the transmitter over the bus to the receiver. The data volume values of the other transmitters are selected so that only one transmitter at any given time simultaneously transmits on the bus.
