摘要:
A current-steering charge pump circuit and method for switch timing that reduces the amount of switching transients on an output current pulse produced by the charge pump. The current-steering type charge pump circuit includes four control signals, UP, UPB, DN and DNB. In order to produce an UP current pulse output signal, the UPB control signal is first asserted, followed by the UP control signal. After a period of time, which is proportional to the error signal that needs to be applied to a VCO, the UPB signal is first unasserted, followed by the UP signal. Similarly, to produce a DOWN current pulse output signal, a DN control is first asserted, followed by a DNB control signal. After a period of time, which is proportional to the error signal that needs to be applied to a VCO, the DN signal is first unasserted, followed by the DNB signal.
摘要:
A technique for automatically controlling the gain of an amplifier by using a transistor as a voltage controlled variable degeneration resistor. The apparatus and method may be advantageously adapted for use in either voltage-to-current amplifiers or voltage-to-voltage amplifiers, single-ended or differential designs. One benefit of this technique is that, since the bias current is constant, the transistors operate in the correct region (i.e. the transistors are not biased out of the operating region). Additionally, the control mechanism is well-bounded.

The invention provides a system and method for microscopic X-ray fluorescence. An X-ray source, X-ray focusing element and a tapered X-ray opaque focusing aperture provide a focused X-ray spot on a sample. The system translates a sample between an imaging position and a testing position. In the imaging position, the sample is aligned in three dimensions and after alignment, the system automatically translates the sample between the imaging position and the testing position. To avoid collision between the sample and other elements of the system, a position detecting device terminates the sample translation if the sample trips the position detecting device. The focusing aperture of the system has a tapered through opening to block unfocused X-rays and reduce or eliminate a halo effect. To detect low atomic number elements, a detector aperture is vacuum sealed to an X-ray detector and X-ray elements of the system are vacuum evacuated.
