    Abstract: When signal transmission is performed between two semiconductor integrated circuit devices in synchronization with a clock signal using a small signal amplitude relative to an operating voltage of the two semiconductor integrated circuit devices, a received signal is held in the receiving semiconductor integrated circuit device in synchronization with the clock signal while the small signal amplitude of the held signal is kept substantially without change. The received signal having the small signal amplitude is amplified along a signal transmission path including a combined logic circuit to a subsequent latch circuit of the receiving semiconductor integrated circuit device.

    Abstract: The signal regeneration circuit recovers a digital signal from an input signal that is supplied via metallic isolation (galvanic separation). The circuit has two input terminals for the input signal and one output terminal for the recovered digital signal. A current direction sensor detects the current direction prevailing between the input terminals and outputs the signal in accordance with the last prevailing current direction. The circuit is advantageously used in connection with digital circuits that require potential isolation at their input terminals.

    Abstract: A first delay line for forward pulses and a second delay line for backward pulses are composed of unit delay elements. A state holding section determines the input position of a backward pulse on the second delay line according to the transfer position of a forward pulse transferred along the first delay line. In the unit delay elements constituting the first and second delay lines, the accuracy of synchronization can be improved by increasing the current driving capability of the transistors related to the rising of the pulse signal.

    Abstract: The design and performance of an analog cancellation system is presented. The system generates either narrow or wideband nulls in order to minimize the effect of interfering signals on a receiver. A microcontroller directs the detection and classification of the interfering signal relative to frequency, amplitude and modulation, such as pulse-width or continuous wave modulation. A sampled version of the interfering signal at frequency, fi, is phase-inverted, amplified, and vector-summed with the input signal stream to null the interfering signal at fi. The microcontroller also monitors and adjusts the cancellation systems' circuit parameters to minimize any residual interfering signal at fi or respond to changes in the interference. The example system operates from 100-160 MHz, and can generate wideband nulls over a 5MHz bandwidth with a 15dB depth attenuation or narrowband nulls with a Q greater than 200, and with a null depth greater than 30dB.

    Abstract: A system and method for distributing clock signal information as rising and falling edge signals is disclosed. In one embodiment a first pulse signal includes a pulse generated for the rising edge of each clock pulse signal includes a pulse generated for the falling edge of each clock pulse. The temporal information associated with the time delay of the leading edges of corresponding pulses of the first and second pulse signals may be used to recover the clock signal. In one embodiment, skewed amplifiers are used to amplify the first and second pulse signal edge pulse. In one embodiment, the first and second pulse signals are regenerated and amplified before they are and into a tri-state buffer to recover the clock signal.

    Abstract: When an up signal UP is inputted, a switch is turned on and thereby a capacitor is charged to raise a control voltage VC. Further, when a down signal DWN is inputted, a switch is turned on and a capacitor discharges to hold the down signal DWN in the capacitor. Then, when a switch is turned on by a transmission signal EXE, an electric charge is injected into the capacitor to lower the control voltage VC. Further, when a switch is turned on by a reset signal RST, the capacitor is charged by an amplifier to cancel the down signal DWN. As a result, a low jitter reproduction clock can be generated regardless of an operating frequency.

    Abstract: A one-shot circuit provides a pulse on receipt of a first edge, and removes the pulse after a delay generated by a delay chain. However, a second, opposite edge resets the circuit without an intervening delay chain delay. The delay chain can be implemented using a chain of AND circuits (one-shot high) or OR circuits (one-shot low), each driven by the preceding circuit in the chain and by the input signal. In some embodiments, an output circuit includes a pass gate coupled between the one-shot input and output terminals and a pulldown (one-shot high) or pullup (one-shot low) that provides an inactive value when the pulse is not being applied. The pass gate and pullup or pulldown are controlled by the output of the daisy chain. Other embodiments offer programmable capabilities, such as the ability to correct for process shift by altering the effective delay of the delay chain.

    Abstract: A tuning circuit for an RF communications system and method includes a master block that outputs a control signal to a slave block. The master block can include a first filter having a high pass filter and a low pass filter that each receive the control signal, a first rectifier coupled to the high pass filter, a second rectifier coupled to the low pass filter, and a converter coupled to the first and second rectifiers that outputs the control signal. The first filter is preferably a gm-C poly-phase filter. Output signals of the gm-C poly-phase filter include high and low pass filtering signals resulting from similarly configured circuits so that the output signals have the same electrical characteristics, which results in an increased accuracy, for example, in a cut-off frequency.
