摘要： In order to correct the duty cycle of a given clock signal to produce a clock signal with a 50% duty cycle, a duty cycle correction circuit includes a delay unit for delaying a first clock signal to output a second clock signal and a clock-signal output unit. The clock-signal output unit includes two transistors which use the first and second clock signals as the inputs of respective gates and an inverter circuit for inverting a signal output from a common drain of the transistors to output a third clock signal. The delay unit delays the first clock signal so that the first clock signal falling appears at a timing at which the duty cycle thereof becomes 50%. The two transistors in the clock-signal output unit output, as the third clock signal, a ground voltage and a source voltage as the signal from the common drain in response to the rising of the first clock signal and the falling of the second clock signal, respectively.

摘要： A three-state phase detector, including two latches and one NAND gate, is provided with two additional latches. To detect a phase difference between first and second input clock signals R and V, the phase detector alternates among three states responsive to a rising edge of the input R or V signal. Each of the two additional latches and an associated latch in the phase detector together constitute one shift register. When the phase detector gets back to its neutral state, the NAND gate generates a reset signal, thereby resetting all of these four latches. Two isolated pulse generators are further provided. Each of the pulse generators makes the pulse width of a frequency difference pulse signal, output from associated one of the additional latches, constant and then outputs the pulse signal with the constant width.

摘要： Fixed pattern noise of an analog memory is reduced. Transfer paths of an address selection signal (SL) between an address generation unit (10) and respective storage elements (21) for storing an analog signal are constructed to have a substantially uniform electric characteristic in driving the storage elements (21) by the address selection signal (SL) to such an extent that the output signal of the analog memory is free from fixed pattern noise. A buffer unit (50) for temporarily storing and outputting the address selection signal is provided between the address generation unit (10) and the respective storage elements (21), and the buffer unit (50) is constructed to have an output characteristic substantially uniform between the storage elements (21). Also, lines between the buffer unit (50) and the storage elements (21) are constructed to have substantially the same electric characteristic. In this manner, charge feed through noise of the respective storage elements (21) are made substantially uniform, resulting in suppressing the fixed pattern noise.

摘要： The invention provides an analog FIFO memory from which a written analog signal can be accurately read by eliminating errors in the analog signal between the write operation and the read operation. Prior to the read operation for reading the analog signal from a memory cell through a memory bus, a reset operation for setting the memory bus at a predetermined potential is conducted so as to remove a charge stored in a parasitic capacitance of the memory bus. The input terminal of a read circuit is set at a predetermined potential, with a write circuit disconnected from the memory bus by using an input circuit and with the read circuit connected with the memory bus by using an output circuit. In this manner, the memory bus is set at the predetermined potential, and the charge stored in the parasitic capacitance is discharged. At this point, a switch in each memory cell is in an off-state, and hence, a charge corresponding to the analog signal can be retained in the memory cell.
