摘要： The invention relates to a line driver to drive a transmission line with a differentially balanced signal, with selectable signal amplitude, with output impedance matched to a characteristic impedance of the transmission line, and with reduced dissipation. The line driver includes a first driver subcircuit including a first and a second group of resistors. To drive an output node with a first signal sense, the first group of resistors is selectively coupled to a first bias voltage terminal and the second group to a second bias voltage terminal. To drive the first output node with a second signal sense, the first and second groups of resistors are both selectively coupled to the second bias voltage terminal. The line driver includes a second driver subcircuit. The second driver subcircuit includes a third and fourth group of resistors that are correspondingly switched.

摘要： A circuit for operating loudspeakers includes a first, second, third and fourth loudspeaker circuit, having one input each for injecting a signal and one output each for connecting a loudspeaker input. The loudspeaker circuits are designed to amplify the injected signal and to provide the amplified signal at the outputs thereof. The loudspeaker circuits can, for example, be used for a 2.1 sound system. The three channels for a 2.1 sound system can be implemented by an amplifier circuit with four loudspeaker circuits, one loudspeaker circuit each being required for the two stereo channels left and right. A subwoofer channel can be driven differentially by two loudspeaker circuits. The stereo channels are, by contrast, only still connected to one loudspeaker circuit each, and so the stereo channels require at least one further common ground cable.

摘要： An embodiment of the invention relates to a nonvolatile mass storage device such as a flash memory device formed with erase blocks partitioned into memory management blocks. An erase block is identified containing at least a minimum number of management blocks marked invalid, from which data is copied, merged, and stored in a new management block. The erase block is then erased. Erase blocks containing at least the minimum number of invalid management blocks may be erased until a minimum amount of management blocks is free. Alternatively, all erase blocks containing at least the minimum number of invalid management blocks may be erased. A management table listing the number of invalid management blocks in erase blocks may be included in the mass storage device. Preferably, the new management block for storage of the merged data is located in an erase block different from the identified erase block.

摘要： An embodiment of the invention relates to a mass storage device including a nonvolatile memory device with a plurality of memory management blocks and an address translation table formed with pointers to locations of the memory management blocks. A volatile memory device is included with an address index table formed with pointers to the pointers to the locations of the memory management blocks. The address index table is stored in the nonvolatile memory upon loss of bias voltage. Changes to the address translation table are accumulated in the volatile memory and written to the address translation table when at least a minimum quantity of the changes has been accumulated. The changes to the logical block address translation table accumulated in the volatile memory are written to a page in the address translation table after prior data in the page has been updated, written to another page, and then erased.

摘要： A device for processing binary data comprises at least one transmission link having an input for receiving a serial bit stream and an output for forwarding bits in a parallel format, and a serial/parallel converter providing n≧2 successive data bits of the serial bit stream as n-bit data words in the parallel format.
