    摘要: In a high-fidelity digital modulator, a mapper is provided to minimize quantization noise, jitter, and cross-talk between multiple digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital converters. The mapper receives a quantized level from a quantizer and maps the quantized level to an output sequence. The mapper includes a table defining multiple sequences corresponding to each quantized level. Each sequence includes two or more symbols, having one of multiple values. The mapper also includes a generator that selects one of the multiple sequences as the output sequence. The last symbol of a first output sequence is equal to the first symbol of the next output sequence and so on. The generator selects the output sequence by alternating between a first and a second sequence for each quantized level received. The generator selects the output sequence by alternating between sequences having a positive and a negative common mode energy for each odd valued quantized level received.

    摘要: Aspects of a method and system for compensating temperature readings from a temperature sensing crystal integrated circuit are provided. In this regard, a temperature indication and calibration voltages from a temperature sensing crystal integrated circuit (TSCIC) may be digitized and the digital signals may be utilized to calculate a compensated temperature indication. Data derived from a memory integrated within the TSCIC may be retrieved based on the compensated temperature indication. The retrieved data may be utilized to control operation of one or more circuits. The compensated temperature indication may be calculated by removing a gain error and/or offset error from the digitized temperature indication. The compensated temperature indication may be utilized as an index for a data table. The compensated temperature indication may be a normalized compensated temperature indication. The calibration voltages may include a minimum voltage and/or a maximum voltage that the TSCIC is operable to output.

    摘要: Methods and systems for applying digital dither in data converters, such as delta-sigma data converters. In one embodiment, an analog signal from a first path of a delta-sigma modulator is quantized to an m-bit digital signal and an n-bit dithered digital feedback signal is generated from at least a portion of the m-bit digital signal. The n-bit dithered digital feedback signal is converted to an analog feedback signal and fed back to a second path of the delta-sigma modulator. In another embodiment, the n-bit dithered digital feedback signal is generated by selecting one of a plurality of sets of n-bits from the m-bit digital signal depending upon a state of a dither control signal. The dither control signal can alternate or pseudo-randomly switch between a plurality of states. The m-bit digital signal may be an m-bit thermometer code signal.

    摘要: A toroidal continuously variable transmission with offset rollers includes a first and second toroidal disk each having inwardly facing toroidal portions that face opposite each other. A shaft having a longitudinal axis mounts the first toroidal disk on a first end and mounts the second toroidal disk on a second end. A sliding collar is mounted on the shaft between the first and the second toroidal disks and has at least two off-set rollers attached thereto. The off-set rollers are in communication with the first and the second inwardly facing toroidal portions of the toroidal disks. Translation of the sliding collar on the shaft causes the off-set rollers to rotate about a first axis, wherein the first axis is orthogonally disposed with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.

    摘要: A source-follower transistor based buffer provides high linearity. A replica transistor is used to generate a replica voltage substantially equal to the output voltage of the buffer. The replica voltage is level shifted by a level shift circuit and applied at the drain of the source-follower transistor to improve the linearity of the buffer. The buffer may be used in conjunction with a switched-capacitor sampling circuit. A damping circuit may be used to reduce charge glitches due to sampling. The damping circuit may be a low pass filter. The buffer may be used in an interface circuit that produces an output signal from an input signal and controls the level of the output signal.

In a further embodiment of the invention, a second threshold voltage is generated and compared the memory cell voltage, thereby verifying the state of the memory cell. The threshold current is optionally a substantial replica of said read current. The threshold current is optionally a proportional substantial replica of said read current. In an embodiment, the resistive circuit includes a second memory cell, which can be programmed or unprogrammed. The second memory cell is optionally arranged to average the memory cell resistance.
