    摘要: A level shifting circuit with a power monitor enable for mixed-voltage applications is described. The level shifter translates signals from a first power supply voltage domain to a second. The level shifter provides a known output state, rather than an undefined mid-rail state, when either of the power supplies for the voltage domains is not adequately powered. In addition, the level shifter is IDDQ (quiescent current) compliant when static, drawing negligible current from the power supply. The level shifter can be used with a power monitor circuit, which controls the level shifter during power-up with an enable signal.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for adjusting the amplitude and DC bias of a video signal is presented, which may be performed in preparation for analog-to-digital conversion. This is accomplished by first converting a received voltage mode video signal to a current mode video signal. Similarly, a voltage mode bias control signal is converted to a current mode bias control signal. The amplitude of the current mode video signal is then adjusted to produce an amplitude adjusted video signal. Similarly, the amplitude of the current mode bias signal is adjusted to produce an amplitude adjusted bias control signal. The current mode amplitude adjusted signals are then combined to produce a biased adjusted current mode video signal. The biased adjusted current mode video signal is then converted back to a voltage mode signal, which may be provided to an analog-to-digital converter for conversion.
