摘要:
Interface circuitry and method for transmitting and receiving downstream and upstream data signals simultaneously via a common conductor pair. The composite signal containing the downstream and upstream data signal components being conveyed by the common conductor pair is isolated, e.g., via signal filtering or buffering, and combined with an appropriately scaled inverse replica of the outgoing upstream data signal to subtract out upstream data signal components and thereby provide the downstream data signal substantially free of any upstream data signal components.

摘要:
An apparatus for and method of self-testing a data packet communications device are disclosed. The apparatus tests the analog and digital transmission and reception capabilities of the device by generating a bit sequence, which the communications device forms into a packet, transmits the packet, then receives the packet and removes the bit sequence. The apparatus then compares the received bit sequence with another bit sequence and generates an error signal if the sequences fail to correspond. The bit sequence is generated by a linear feedback shift register which generates a pseudo-random sequence. Another linear feedback shift register generates another pseudo-random sequence which is compared to the first sequence. In this manner functional self-testing can be performed without an external testing device.

A band-gap reference circuit with averaged current mirror offsets is provided that includes a differential amplifier circuit, a low current transistor circuit, a high current transistor circuit, and a configuration circuit. The differential amplifier circuit includes a first input node operable to receive a first input signal, a second input node operable to receive a second input signal, and an output node operable to generate an output signal based on the input signal difference. The low current transistor circuit is coupled to the differential amplifier circuit and is operable to receive the output signal and to generate the first input signal based on the output signal. The high current transistor circuit is coupled to the differential amplifier circuit and is operable to receive the output signal and to generate the second input signal based on the output signal. The configuration circuit is coupled to the low current transistor circuit and to the high current transistor circuit. The configuration circuit is operable to configure the band-gap reference circuit for a plurality of states by switching a plurality of components between the low current transistor circuit and the high current transistor circuit at specified intervals.

A band-gap reference circuit with offset cancellation is provided that includes a differential amplifier circuit. The differential amplifier circuit includes a first input node and a second input node. The first input node is operable to receive a first input signal. The second input node is operable to receive a second input signal. The band-gap reference circuit is operable to alternate between a first state and a second state based on a specified duty cycle. The first input node is an inverting node and the second input node is a non-inverting node in the first state, and the first input node is a non-inverting node and the second input node is an inverting node in the second state. The differential amplifier circuit is operable to generate an output signal based on a difference between the first and second input signals.
