摘要:
An R-C polyphase network that provides bandpass shaping and amplification to maintain the quadrature phase output is provided. In one implementation, a polyphase device comprises two transistors each having a collector, a base and an emitter. Positive and negative components of an input signal are coupled to a respective base of the transistors, the transistors adapted to drive the R-C polyphase network. Inputs of the R-C polyphase network are coupled to the collectors of the transistors. The R-C polyphase network includes an inductor and has first output and a second output offset in phase. The inductor is adapted to provide bandpass filtering of the first output and the second output to reduce harmonics and spurious content in the output, as well as provide amplification of the outputs relative to the input signal.

The adaptive filter can be realized with a very low circuitry outlay, as a result of which the adaptive filter for the first time becomes practical for many applications. In particular, the area required by the filter is small since the large time constants that are necessary for many applications can be realized in a simple manner by the control circuit. The adaptive filter is suitable in particular for “mixed signal ASICS”, in which the required preconditions for the control circuit are already present, so that the control circuit can be realized just by means of corresponding wiring.

Often programmable gain attenuators (PGAs) are combined with high pass filters. Adjustment of the highpass filter however can have unintended effects, such as changing the step size of the PGA. By placing the resistance of the highpass filter in parallel with a programmable attenuator divider, the steps of the PGA can be minimally affected as the highpass frequency is adjusted.

A filter means (36) which forms a frequency-selective attenuator (FSA) to attenuate the series resistance compensation signal (Vcomp) of a voltage clamp (5) having an undesired series resistance (Rs). Filter means (36) increases the stability and eliminates the steady-state error of series resistance compensation without compromising the compensated bandwidth, and without requiring excessive bandwidth of the compensation signal (Vcomp) to ensure stability. Filter means (36) also enables the compensated bandwidth and the rate of steady-state error elimination to be selected. Filter means (36) is particularly suited to improving the series resistance compensation of voltage clamps that measure ionic current in biological preparations, allowing rapid ionic current in excitable cells to be voltage clamped.

An automatically adjusting gain/bandwidth loop filter suitable for a digital phase lock loop or a digital adaptive carrier recovery loop with variable loop gain/bandwidth for rapid acquisition and lower steady-state jitter is provided. The automatically adjusting gain/bandwidth loop filter comprises a variable gain/bandwidth loop filter, a tracking status detector and a gain/bandwidth control state machine. The tracking status detector observes the frequency error which is the output of the frequency tracking (integral) branch of the variable gain/bandwidth loop filter, then it outputs a tracking state of the carrier recovery loop. The loop gain/bandwidth is then adjusted by the gain/bandwidth control state machine in response of the tracking state to improve the pull-in time and steady-state carrier frequency jitter.
摘要:
An analog or continuous tuning loop which generates an analog signal representative of a difference of signals generated by a mirror trans-conductor circuit (having electrical characteristics similar to other such trans-conductor circuits used in a filter) and a reference circuit. The analog signal is used to adjust the trans-conductance such that the current generated by the trans-conductance circuit equals a reference current generated by the reference circuit. A filter using such trans-conductor circuits may be designed to be tuned to a desired cut-off frequency when the desired trans-conductance is achieved. An additional digital circuit generates a few digital bits, which may be used to selectively activate the respective trans-conductor elements contained in the mirror trans-conductor circuit and the filter.

A subordinate low pass filter 21 having characteristics similar to those of a main low pass filter 11 is provided. A signal of a frequency corresponding to a cut-off frequency is supplied from a signal generating circuit 22 to the subordinate LPF 21. A phase difference detecting circuit 23 detects a phase shift amount which is caused when the signal of the cut-off frequency is supplied to the subordinate LPF 21. An error detecting circuit 24 compares a value corresponding to the phase shift amount caused in the subordinate LPF 21 when the signal of the cut-off frequency is supplied with a reference value corresponding to the phase shift amount to be caused in the subordinate LPF 21 at the time of the cut-off frequency on phase characteristics. A comparison output is used as a control signal and the subordinate LPF 21 and main LPF 11 are controlled to have a desired cut-off frequency. By using multipliers of similar constructions as a phase difference detecting circuit 23 and a reference value generating circuit 25, an influence of temperature characteristics and a variation on processes can be cancelled.

A programmable phase locked-loop (PLL) active filter circuit is provided which includes networks of cooperating bandwidth tuning components to select bandwidth ranges. The values and arrangement of the network of selectable series input (R1) resistors are chosen to be useful in both low band and high band settings. Likewise, the opamp network of feedback resistors (R2) and capacitors (C1) values are chosen to be useful in both low band and high band applications, automatically pairing with the R1 selection in response to a bandwidth range selection. These tuning components, internal to an integrated circuit, can be used for a plurality of wideband loops. External components can be used to supplement the internal components for low and high bandwidth applications.
