    摘要: A voltage to current converter includes three field effect transistors (FETs), the sources of which are electrically connected to define a common source node, and a feedback network. First and second voltage inputs are connected to the gates of the first and second FETs, respectively. First and second current outputs are connected to the drains of the first and second FETs, respectively. The feedback network is connected between the drain of the third FET and the common source node. The feedback network controls and extends linearity by varying the voltage between the common source node and ground in response to changes in the voltage inputs in order to maintain a constant current through the third FET. The floating common source node quickly adjusts and thereby keeps a linear relationship between the input voltages and the output currents. Thus, the feedback network can dynamically bias the converter by permitting the common source node to float with respect to ground.

    摘要: A band-gap reference voltage is developed by a phase-clocked band-gap circuit including a single PN junction through which first and second constant currents are alternately directed. A current proportional to absolute temperature is selectively added to one of the first and second constant currents to curvature-compensate the developed band-gap reference voltage. The band-gap circuit is calibrated at any desired temperature by interrupting the curvature compensation current and trimming the one constant current to bring the un-compensated band-gap reference voltage into correspondence with a nominal band-gap voltage functionally related to the calibration temperature and circuit component values.

    摘要: A motion sensor in the form of an angular rate sensor and a method of making a sensor are provided and includes a support substrate and a silicon sensing ring supported by the substrate and having a flexive resonance. Drive electrodes apply electrostatic force on the ring to cause the ring to resonate. Sensing electrodes sense a change in capacitance indicative of vibration modes of resonance of the ring so as to sense motion. A plurality of silicon support rings connect the substrate to the ring. The support rings are located at an angle to substantially match a modulus of elasticity of the silicon, such as about 22.5 degrees and 67.5 degrees, with respect to the crystalline orientation of the silicon.

    摘要: An extruded capacitive sensor assembly includes multiple sense conductors of unequal length disposed in an upper section of a non-conductive jacket, and a ground conductor disposed in a lower section of the jacket adjacent a panel or carrier to which the strip is affixed. A sensor strip with three sense conductors is formed by extruding a non-conductive jacket having first and second sense conductors in the upper section of the jacket, and severing the first sense conductor to create three unequal length sense conductor segments. Electrical termination to the sense and ground conductors can be made at the point where the first sense conductor is severed, or at the end of the sensor strip. In cases where only two sense conductor segments are needed, the third sense conductor segment is removed or simply un-used.

    摘要: A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit includes a control signal generator, a digital phase detector, logic gates, a charge pump (charge/discharge circuit), a transmission gate, a loop filter, a lead-lag filter and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). Outputs of the digital phase detector are coupled through the logic gates to inputs of the charge pump. An output of the charge pump is coupled to the capacitor and to a first input/output of the transmission gate. A second input/output of the transmission gate is coupled to an input of the loop filter whose output is coupled to an input of the VCO whose output is coupled to a first input of the digital phase detector. A second input of the digital phase detector is coupled to a source of a reference frequency signal. The control signal generator generates non-overlapping complementary control signals with one of same connected to the logic gates and the other connected to the transmission gate. Accordingly, the electrical path from the digital phase detector to the charge pump through the logic gates is closed and the electrical path from the capacitor to the loop filter is open or vice versa. The loop filter includes an operational amplifier with AC feedback which is controlled by the same signal which controls the logic gates. The PLL circuit is typically formed on a single integrated circuit silicon chip using CMOS technology.

    摘要: An integrated circuit FM detector which compensates for variations in semiconductor manufacturing process and temperature employs a pair of serially connected switched capacitor-operational amplifier combinations. The first combination is a frequency to voltage converter which uses a switched capacitor input circuit which is clocked at the frequency of the input signal, an operational amplifier and a feedback resistor. The second combination is a compensation circuit which uses an input resistor, a feedback switched capacitor circuit and an operational amplifier. The feedback switched capacitor circuit is clocked at a fixed rate. Reversal of the roles of the resistor and the switched capacitor in the first and second combinations compensates for both temperature and manufacturing process variations. The electrical separation of the input and feedback switched capacitor circuits helps to insure against the generation of unwanted noise in the form of beat frequencies which could be generated if the switched capacitor circuits were used as the input and feedback circuits of a single operational amplifier.

    摘要: A switched capacitance detection circuit is responsive to changes in the fringing capacitance of a capacitive proximity sensor having at least one capacitive sensor element. In cases where the sensor has a single sensor element, the switching frequency of the detection circuit is controlled to maintain measurement accuracy in the presence of sensor moisture while minimizing power consumption and electromagnetic radiation. In cases where the sensor has multiple sensor elements, the capacitance values for each sensor element are differenced, absolute-valued and summed to form an output in which common-mode effects due to sensor moisture, temperature and sensor aging are canceled out.
