Device for inserting several bits in a rhythmed digital train, comprising aosed looped shift register, the shift being controlled according to the rhythm of the train. The register receives, in parallel, the bits to be inserted, the write-in locations depending on the instant at which it is required to have these bits available in order to insert them in the train. Preferably, the train being subdivided into sub-groups (IT) of adjacent bits, the register comprises as many bistable elements as there are bits in a sub-group.

A system which selects the highest quality signal from similar signals includes a signal quality detector for each of the signals and a comparator. Each detector provides an output level indicative of the quality of the signal and these signals indicative of the quality of the signal are sequentially provided to a first input of the comparator. The comparator is responsive to signal levels indicating a higher quality signal level than that of a reference level applied to a second input of the comparator for providing that signal out of the selecting system and providing a new reference signal level indicative of the higher quality signal to the second input of the comparator.

A glitch detector and trap circuit is disclosed for removing a glitch generated by a digital-to-analog (D/A) converter due to an error in one or more bits of the input digital signal. The analog output signal is delayed by one sample period. The converter output signal is then subtracted from the delayed converter output signal. This difference signal is passed through a full-wave precision rectifier. Thereafter, the notified signal is clipped at a predetermined trigger level so that a glitch will cause an output pulse. The output pulse caused by a glitch is used to operate a monostable circuit. The monostable circuit in turn, is utilized to change a track and store amplifier from its track mode to the store mode. In this manner, the track and store amplifier will not pass the glitch, but will remain at its previous setting. A rise-time delay circuit is interposed ahead of the track and store amplifier so that it will not respond instantaneously to the next sample pulse before its store mode is initiated.

Omission of a pulse in an otherwise regular pulse sequence, such as may be produced by omission of a tooth of a rotating gear that is used to generate a pulse sequence through a pick-up, is utilized after the manner of a special framing pulse, saving the complications of providing a framing pulse, especially in gasoline engine ignition timing. A counter is started with the beginning of every pulse of the sequence and is operated at a multiple of the sequence frequency. If the frequency varies, the count status when the next pulse arrives will vary slightly and this variation may be caused to change the initial condition for the beginning of each count cycle to keep the repetitive counting generally in step with the varying frequency. When a pulse of the sequence is skipped, however, the repetitive counter goes into a range of content states well beyond those produced by frequency variation and a decoding stage with an appropriate threshold value stored therein gives an indication that a pulse has been missed, which prepares a response to the next pulse which will produce a timing reference signal instead of a correction to the circuits following the frequency of the observed pulse sequence. The latter and also an engine load sensor address an ROM to provide the timing angle signal.

In a selective calling circuit including a band-pass filter which may be constituted by an active filter, and a power source for energizing the filter, a control signal is generated which has a predetermined duration in accordance with the output of the band-pass filter at a point of time whereat the output of the band-pass filter reaches a predetermined level. In response to the control signal, there is established a state in which the center frequency of the band-pass filter can be changed, and the output of the power source is changed from a first level to a second level for a period of time substantially corresponding to the predetermined duration of the control signal. At the aforementioned first level, the band-pass filter may be energized, while at the second level, it may be deenergized.

A sense circuit suitable for use with semiconductor memory arrays which, in contrast to sense circuits of similar type, exhibits no voltage offset in the latched condition between the input-output (I/O) nodes and the supply lines. The sense circuit includes first and second complementary inverters with inputs connected to first and second I/O nodes, respectively, and with outputs capable of being clamped to one or the other of the two supply lines powering the inverters. Selectively and sequentially enabled cross-coupling transmission gates are connected between the output of each inverter and the input to the other inverter, and selectively enabled biasing transmission gates are connected between the input and output of each inverter. In the operation of the circuit, the two input nodes are first precharged to a predetermined value by enabling the biasing gates. A signal is then applied to one I/O node causing its potential to vary from its quiescent value. Then, the cross-coupling gate connected to the output of the inverter whose input is connected to the one I/O node is first enabled and, subsequently, the other cross-coupling gate is enabled. When the two cross-coupling gates are enabled, the inverters are latched and form a flip flop with the first I/O node clamped to the supply line having the same binary signal and the second I/O node clamped to the other power supply line.

A pulse peak detector circuit for use in measuring the peak amplitude of a fast rise time, narrow pulse width pulse as in commonly encountered in an ultrasonic non-destructive testing instrument includes two amplifying means. A first amplifying means compensates small amplitude signals for the characteristics of a unidirectional current conducting means forming a part of the detector circuit while the second amplifying means provides conventional amplification of the applied signal.

A random access memory device of the MOS integrated circuit type employs an array of rows and columns of one-transistor storage cells with bistable sense amplifier circuits at the center of each column. The load transistors in each bistable circuit have clock voltages applied to their gates after an initial sensing period, so the initial sensing is done without loads for the bistable circuit. After this initial period, the load transistors are turned on by boosting capacitors. Then, fixed biased transistors shunting the gates of the load device to the digit lines function to turn off the load device on the zero logic level side.
摘要:
An initial error indicated by a pulse at the binary input is applied through a gating circuit to trigger a monostable multivibrator (one-shot) to start a timing interval. The output of the one-shot is applied to a second gating circuit which inhibits the first gating circuit to prevent retriggering of the one-shot. Subsequent error pulses are then applied directly to a counting mechanism which counts the errors which occur during the predetermined time interval established by the one-shot. An acceptable error density is established by the predetermined time interval for the one-shot in relation to the number of errors that would occur during this predetermined time interval. If the number of errors which occur exceeds the acceptable error density, the counting circuit puts out a signal which may be applied to an alarm (or framing) circuit. Once the error counter produces an output, i.e., exceeds the acceptable error density, the counter applies a binary indication to the second gating circuit which causes the first gating circuit to retrigger the one-shot. Further, each error pulse which occurs before the one-shot times out will now trigger the one-shot. In order for the circuit to reset, an error-free period, equal to the period of the one-shot, must occur.
