    Abstract: Channel select filter circuits are described. One circuit implements a multiplying element and digital-to-analog converter as a differential current mode device. Another circuit implementing a multiplying element and digital-to-analog converter with weighted addition, deferred after multiplication of the digital-to-analog converter and multiplier combination. In one such circuit, substantially equal current source magnitudes are in different columns of the circuit. Another such circuit, with substantially equal current source magnitudes, uses non- radix2. Another such circuit, with substantially equal current source magnitudes, has partial segmentation. Another circuit implements a multiplying element and digital-to-analog converter, with partial segmentation, scrambling bit allocation for elements. One such circuit scrambles bit allocation on equally weighted segments, as described herein. Another circuit implements a multiplying element and digital-to-analog converter with selective enablement of duplicate current source devices. Another circuit implements a multiplying element and digital- to-analog converter with variable effective length of the digital-to-analog converter. In one such circuit one or more current sources of a multiplier element are deselected to remove a noise contribution of the multiplier element, as described herein. A complex filter circuit includes a pair of real finite impulse response filter circuits performing addition and subtraction in current domain, sharing a common resistor network to perform weighted addition. One such circuit further includes a second pair of real finite impulse response filter circuits performing addition and subtraction in current domain, sharing a second common resistor network to perform weighted addition.

    Abstract: A circuit is provided having a secondary semi-analog FIR filter (100) connected to a primary filter via a coefficient to reduce the size of the sizes of the resistors (106) used in the primary filter. The coefficient may be one or more intermediate resistors connected between separate resistor/voltage driver banks that make up the FIR filter (100). The result is a circuit that takes up less chip space required to accommodate the required resistance for a digital to analog converter (DAC). The invention configures the resistor structure to produce the same output result as a conventional circuit, but with a smaller resistor values that take up less surface area on the chip.

    Abstract: An electronic device (300) is provided such as an amplifier, for example, having improved gain and transconductance and low output impedance. The device includes a primary amplifier "M1" configured to carry an operating load. The device includes an input "In" for receiving an input signal, and an output "Out" for outputting an output signal, and operates having a variable output, as it carries an operational load. The device (300) further includes a secondary amplifier "M2" configured to operate at a fixed operating condition, not burdened by carrying an operational load, and includes a secondary input "In" configured to receive the input signal, wherein the secondary amplifier is configured to define the input voltage. The device (300) is configured to detect a difference in operating current between the primary and secondary amplifiers, and to compensate for any operational load that may be applied to the primary amplifier during operation.

    Abstract: An improved segmented analog to digital converter is provided, configured with a novel method of compensating current flow in secondary or successive segmented elements. In operation, dual current devices initially load, then subsequently unload a cascade of resistor networks connected to the secondary or successive voltage segmenting elements, preventing the perturbation of precise operation of the primary or preceding elements. In contrast to conventional approaches, the improved converter obviates the need for a buffer or amplifier to isolate the secondary and successive voltage segmenting elements from the primary or preceding elements.

    Abstract: A signal processor (100) has a plurality of channels, each channel configured to receive an input signal stream (S1~S8), to reduce the signal to a direct current signal and to process the signal according to the stream signal. Each channel also has a plurality of low pass filters (LPF~LPF_4) configured to filter in-phase and quadrature-phase modulator outputs with a first low pass filter and to filter a reference quadrature signals, and a gain control (Gain J) configured to re-modulate gain adjusted output signals with the filtered quadrature signals. The processor further includes an inverter (214) to invert the in-phase filtered reference signal and means to multiply (216) the quadrature gain adjusted output signal.

    Abstract: A differential input flash analog to digital converter (500) in which an array of comparators "C1,1-C1,5" is connected to compare reference signals within a parabolic distribution of such signals generated by the application of a differential input signals "Vin(a)-Vin(b)" across an impedance network "R1-R5". The comparator array comprises at least two pluralities of comparators, the first plurality of comparators comparing pairs of reference nodes separated by a first step size, the second plurality of comparators comparing pairs of reference nodes separated by a second step size. Preferably, the comparator array further comprises a third plurality of comparators comparing pairs of reference nodes separated by a third step size, but only where necessary to maximize the available comparison range.
