Abstract: An amplifier circuit and a method of amplification using automatic gain control (AGC) are disclosed. A method for reducing distortions incurred by an audio signal when being rendered by an electronic device is described. The method comprises receiving an input signal; determining signal strength; determining a frequency-dependent AGC filter; wherein the frequency-dependent AGC filter is adapted to selectively attenuate the input signal within a number N of predetermined frequency ranges, according to corresponding N degrees of attenuation; wherein N predetermined frequency ranges depend upon a rendering characteristic of the electronic device; and wherein the N-degrees of attenuation depend upon the signal strength; and attenuating the input signal using the frequency-dependent AGC filter to obtain an output signal for rendering by the electronic device.

Abstract: A system and methods for an interface for magnetic sensors to determine a rotational angle has been achieved. Said interface can be used for any kind of magnetic sensors providing analog signals of the sine and cosine values of the angle to be determined. Said analog signals are being processed in two measurement paths for the sine and cosine signal each until the desired angle is computed by a CORDIC processor. The first stage of said measurement path is the conversion of the sine and cosine signals from analog to digital by 2nd order delta-sigma modulators with an over-sampling ratio. A low-pass decimation filter with sinc3 characteristic performs the digital value computation. The next stage normalizes the digitized sine and cosine values to correct offset and scaling deviations. Said CORDIC processor computes the angle to be determined by decomposing the desired rotation angle into iterations of pre-defined elementary rotation angles performing the rotation operation by simple shift-and-add operations replacing multiplication/division operations and the magnitude of the vector MAGnull{square root}{square root over (sin2nullcos2)} using the output from said pair of normalization stages.

Abstract: This invention provides a circuit and a method for interfacing a subscriber information module, SIM to a base band controller for a mobile phone. It provides voltage level shifting to allow a low voltage base band controller chip to interface to a higher voltage SIM card. The higher voltage bus goes to the SIM card of a mobile phone. The subscriber information module typically contains personal information such as telephone number, identification codes and pin numbers. The circuit of this invention uses active transistor pull-down and pull-up mechanisms. The active pull-up is active for less than one bit time so that the SIM card sees only a 20 kilo ohm resistor allowing performances equal to or better than ISO7816 specifications.

Abstract: A new method of reading an imager is achieved. The method comprises providing an imager array comprising n rows and m columns where a pair of rows can be read during a single row access time. A first image field is completed by sequentially reading and storing pixel values of pairs of adjacent rows of the imager array. The reading begins at a first row, and the reading stops when less than three rows are unread. Thereafter pixel values of the next row are read and not stored. Thereafter pixel values of the first row of the imager array are read and not stored. A second image field is completed by sequentially reading and storing pixel values of pairs of adjacent rows. The reading begins at the second row, the reading stops when less than two rows are unread.

Abstract: In a Class-D Amplifier with PCM (Pulse Code Modulated) input signal, the output pulse width may be adjusted to provide a constant time-voltage-area or the output pulse width may have one of several discrete values to provide a multi-level output system. A fundamental idea of this disclosure is to assure the center of each output pulse is always positioned at the nominal clock or with a fixed delay relative to the nominal clock. Said Class-D Amplifier typically converts the input signal into PDM (Pulse Density Modulated) pulses with a Sigma Delta Modulator and typically drives the output load with an H-Bridge.
