    摘要: The differential input receiver provides constant symmetrical hysteresis over a wide input signal range. The differential input receiver includes a pair of complementary differential comparators having common input terminals, a pair of series connected complementary current mirrors each having source terminals driven by the output terminals of the corresponding differential comparator, a pair of transistors connected in series across each differential pair transistor in each differential comparator to form a potential divider across it, and a pair of series connected inverting buffers connected to a common output of the differential comparators to provide the final output. The individual buffer outputs are fed back to the control terminals of the series connected transistors in a manner that provides positive feedback thereby providing equal rise-time, fall-delay and transition times in the output signal.

    摘要: Generally speaking, steep signal edges are required for the processing of digital signals; however, notably externally supplied signals which are conducted, for example, via long cables are liable to have comparatively flat signal edges. By selecting appropriate switching thresholds, delays between an input signal and an output signal of a circuit can be minimized. The circuit selects the first switching threshold at a low value of the input signal and switches the first threshold value to a second, higher threshold value when the input signal exceeds a further, higher threshold value. Thus, an output signal is generated comparatively quickly after the beginning of the positive-going or negative-going edge of the input signal. This can be realized by switching over the switching threshold of a comparator or by utilizing two comparators. Switching over to the various switching thresholds, or the various comparators, is provided by a further control circuit which may also be driven by the comparators themselves. A particularly high insensitivity to interference is achieved when use is made of two comparators which themselves are constructed as Schmitt triggers.

    摘要: A high-speed SCSI input receiver has separate high and low level input buffers, each operating in response to a control voltage that conditions their respective high and low level switching threshold voltages to remain stable about their design values without regard to temperature and process parameter variations. Each of the input buffers includes an input invertor with n-channel and p-channel current source transistors coupled between the output and the respective supply rails. A master circuit includes circuitry that substantially matches the operative circuitry of the input buffer, except that the input and output of the master circuit's invertor element are coupled together so as to define the elements actual switching threshold voltage. This threshold voltage is compared to a design threshold voltage defined by a resistor divider in a comparator. The comparator output defines a control voltage which drives the n-channel and p-channel current source transistors until the actual switching threshold voltage of the master circuit's invertor equals the design switching threshold voltage defined by the resistor divider. The control voltage is parallel connected to the n-channel and p-channel current source transistors of the input buffer which causes the input buffer to exhibit an actual switching threshold voltage substantially equal to the design switching threshold voltage without regard to variations in temperature and process parameter tolerances.

    摘要: A delay circuit (7) delays a transfer signal (V1) transferred through a transfer signal line (1) by the first delay time (dt1) to generate the first delayed signal (V9) and delays the first delayed signal (V9) by the second delay time (dt2) to generate the second delayed signal (V10). The second current mirror differential amplifier circuit (11) receives the transfer signal (1) and the second delayed signal (V10), whose ground terminal is connected to the first delayed signal line (9). On the other hand, the first current mirror differential amplifier circuit (14) also receives the transfer signal (V1) and the second delayed signal (V10), whose power-supply terminal is connected to the first delayed signal line (9). In response to a rise of the input signal (V1), the circuit (14) starts its operation to change a level of an output signal (V6) from "L" level to "H" level, remaining thereafter. After that, in response to a fall of the input signal (V1), the circuit (11) starts its operation to change the level of the output signal (V6) from "H" level to "L" level. With this configuration, a receiver circuit of a semiconductor circuit device achieves a faster operation and a lower power consumption.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for accurately counting the number of articles passing along an article path. A light beam is transmitted across an article path to a sensor, which light beam is interfered with by the passage of articles along the article path and the received light beam is converted to electrical signals that are conditioned, amplified and input to a logic unit which, based on derived amplitude, duration and area of the input signals, determines the number of articles that passed along the article path. A system is also described which accurately counts the number of articles passing along a plurality of article paths by employing a plurality of such devices each of which accurately counts the articles passing along each article path and, upon instructions from a master console, sends its counts to the master console for summation. The system further includes a network architecture with simplified wire harnessing and enhanced operation.
