Abstract:
A compensation circuit for stabilization of a circuit node coupled to an integrated circuit substrate by a parasitic capacitance of a value C.sub.1 has a displacement current substantially equal to C.sub.1 dv/dt. A switching device having a gain beta can either supply a current to, or draw a current from, the circuit node substantially equal to C.sub.2 .beta. dv/dt which is greater than the displacement current thereby obviating oscillation of an integrated circuit output due to capacitive coupling of the substrate to sensitive circuit nodes.

Abstract:
The ladder network of a recirculation of remainder analog to digital converter has a voltage source that is regulated by a transistor and Zener diode together with feedback circuitry responsive to the regulated output voltage. Current through the circuit is controlled by feedback to establish equal and opposite temperature coefficients in the transistor and Zener diode of the regulator. The temperature stabilized voltage regulator produced thereby eliminates any requirement for trimmer potentiometers.
Abstract:
An oscillator with inverter and delay stages is coupled between first and second reference terminals. In one aspect a depletion transistor is connected between a power supply terminal and the first reference terminal to provide a reference voltage thereat. In another aspect the delay stages each have a control terminal for controlling the delay thereof. A temperature compensation circuit has a control transistor which provides a voltage to the control terminals of the delay stages which is inversely proportional to the threshold voltage of the control transistor.

Abstract:
A semiconductor resistor element comprising a semiconductor film which has a desired shape and electrode wirings at both ends thereof, and a control electrode provided between the two ends of the semiconductor film via an insulating film. The control electrode is served with a control voltage which controls the resistance of the semiconductor film. Namely, the control electrode is served with a control voltage that changes with the change in temperature to offset the change in resistance of the semi-conductor film caused by the change in temperature.
Abstract:
A dual voltage inductive coil driver is used to rapidly switch between current levels in phase shifters. This approach provides a large voltage swing during the transient period, and then provides a low-dissipation low-voltage source during the steady state condition. The dual mode uses a linear low voltage loop and a nonlinear high voltage loop in the driver. The nonlinear loop may operate from the threshold or difference between either the input reference and coil current or input reference and coil voltage.

Abstract:
A control circuit provides current to the bases of two transistors connected in a Darlington configuration. A load in series with the Darlington collector receives the turn-on current given the improved current gain of this configuration. A diode connected between the Darlington input transistors base and collector begins conduction as soon as the input transistor is saturated. The current applied directly to the base of the Darlington output transistor is enough to saturate the latter at the operating output load current. The invention permits the use of a Darlington switch, and allows the additional advantage of the low saturation voltage of a single transistor.
Abstract:
A delay circuit includes first and second MISFETs and a capacitance element connected to the common juncture of the first and the second MISFETs. The electricity of the capacitance element is charged through the first MISFET and is discharged through the second MISFET. Since the first and the second MISFETs effectively perform a push-pull operation, a signal of a predetermined level and a predetermined delay time to be delivered to a circuit having a logic threshold voltage is derived from the common juncture.
Abstract:
This current switch driving circuit arrangement particularly for, but not necessarily limited to, inductive device current switching, comprises a pair of output transistors constituting a driving transistor for turning ON a subsequent switching transistor and a current sinking transistor for turning OFF that switching transistor. A receiver circuit is arranged for applying one bilevel logical signal for alternatively driving the two transistors by way of intermediate circuits each having current multiplying circuitry for deriving the necessary driving currents. The intermediate circuitry is effective for toggling the current from one of the transistors to the other with provisions for insuring speedy switching action.
