    摘要: A voltage level translator circuit converts an input signal referenced between first and second operating potentials to an output signal referenced between second and third operating potentials. The input signal is level shifted through cascoded transistors and latched by series inverters to drive upper cascoded transistors in the output stage. The input signal is delayed before driving lower cascoded transistors in the output stage. The output stage transistors are cascoded in a similar manner as the level shifting section. The logic state of the input signal determines whether the upper cascoded transistors or the lower cascoded transistors in the output stage are activated to set the logic state of the output signal of the voltage level translator circuit. Additional cascoded transistors may be stacked to extend the range of voltage translation. The voltage level translator circuit is applicable to sub-micron technology.

    摘要: Systems and methods for mitigating multipath signals in a receiver are provided. In this regard, a representative system, among others, includes a radio frequency (RF) front-end and at least one analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The RF front-end receives FM signals and down-converts the received frequency signals to intermediate frequency (IF) signals. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) receives the intermediate frequency signals and digitizes multiple FM channels around a desired FM channel associated with the down-converted signals. The system further includes multiple sets of digital processing components that are configured to simultaneously receive and process the digitized multiple channels. The multiple sets of digital processing components include at least two parallel channel selection and demodulation paths in which the respective digitized multiple channels are processed therethrough.
