    摘要: A gain attenuation circuit that attenuates an input RF signal and transmits the attenuated RF signal to a power transistor is provided. The gain attenuation circuit includes a first diode connected between a first node positioned between a port to which the input RF signal is input and a control terminal of the power transistor, and a ground; a first transistor and a second transistor stacked between a first power source and the ground, and each including a diode-connection structure; and a third transistor configured to receive an operating voltage set by the first transistor and the second transistor through a control terminal, and operate the first diode based on the received operating voltage.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a transmission circuit having output power compensation mechanism. A base-band circuit receives and processes a digital input signal to perform conversion and amplification according to at least one gain parameter to generate an analog output signal. A frequency up-converting circuit performs frequency up-conversion on the analog output signal to generate an RF signal. A RF amplification circuit amplifies the RF signal to generate an output RF signal to an antenna. A temperature monitoring circuit monitors temperature of the RF amplification circuit to generate an instant temperature value thereof. A calibration circuit increases at least a part of the gain parameter when the instant temperature value makes a power of the RF amplification circuit decrease and decreases at least a part of the gain parameter when the instant temperature value makes the power increase.

    摘要: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes receiving an input signal captured by one or more sensors associated with an active noise reduction (ANR) headphone, and determining one or more characteristics of a first portion of the input signal. Based on the one or more characteristics of the first portion of the input signal, a gain of a variable gain amplifier (VGA) disposed in an ANR signal flow path can be adjusted, and accordingly, a set of coefficients for a tunable digital filter disposed in the ANR signal flow path can be selected. The method further includes processing a second portion of the input signal in the ANR signal flow path using the adjusted gain and selected set of coefficients to generate a second output signal for the electroacoustic transducer of the ANR headphone.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for delay adjustment circuits are described. Amplifiers (e.g., differential amplifiers) may act like variable capacitors (e.g., due to the Miller-effect) to control delays of signals between buffer (e.g., re-driver) stages. The gains of the amplifiers may be adjusted by adjusting the currents through the amplifiers, which may change the apparent capacitances seen by the signal line (due to the Miller-effect). The capacitance of each amplifier may be the intrinsic capacitance of input transistors that make up the amplifier, or may be a discrete capacitor. In some examples, two differential stages may be inserted on a four-phase clocking system (e.g., one on 0 and 180 phases, the other on 90 and 270 phases), and may be controlled differentially to control phase-to-phase delay.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a transimpedance amplifier and an injection circuit. The injection circuit generates a first electrical test signal and injects the first electrical test signal into the transimpedance amplifier. The first electrical test signal or an output of the transimpedance amplifier generated based on the first electrical test signal is used to determine whether the integrated circuit is faulty.
