    摘要: Threshold detection for load current on a bus involves generating an output current representative of the load current using a transconductance circuit, sampling the output current during a quiescent phase of the bus to produce a sample current, generating a compensation current that is proportional to the transconductance gain associated with the transconductance circuit, where the compensation current is a function of the sample current, combining the output current, the sample current, the compensation current, and a reference current representative of a threshold value for the load current to produce a combined current, and using a discriminator during an active phase of the bus to output a first value when the sum current exceeds the threshold value and a second value when the combined current is less than the threshold value.

    摘要: A method of trimming a current source in an IC includes deriving a reference voltage from an external supply, and developing a measurement voltage across an external reference resistance receiving the current to be trimmed. An on-chip ADC is used to provide corresponding digital reference and digital measurement signals. A digital comparator compares the digital signals and provides a digital trim signal, which is used to adjust the current to be trimmed until the digital measurement signal is equal to the digital reference signal within an acceptable tolerance. Gain and offset errors in the ADC cancel and do not affect the calibration of the trim operation.

    摘要: A system for detecting a mismatch between first and second input signals includes first and second analog-to-digital converters, a time-division multiplexing circuit, first and second processors, a time-division de-multiplexing circuit, and a gating circuit. The first processor includes a first sinc filter, a first trimmer, a first infinite impulse response (IIR) filter, and a first high pass filter (HPF). The second processor includes a second sinc filter, a second IIR filter, and a second HPF. A bandwidth of the second IIR filter and the second HPF is greater than a bandwidth of the first IIR filter and the first HPF. A transfer function of the first IIR filter and the first HPF uses floating-point coefficients and a transfer function of the second IIR filter and the second HPF uses coefficients that are an integral power of two.

    摘要: A circuit for generating multi-phase, non-overlapping clock signals includes a shift register that generates first and second clock signals from an input clock signal. First and second circuit modules generate corresponding first and second interim signals using the first and second clock signals and first and second feedback signals, respectively. The first and second interim signals are non-overlapping by at least a predetermined minimum time difference. The first and second interim signals are multiplexed to generate an output signal. The output signal is delayed by a first predetermined time to generate a first delay signal. The first delay signal is delayed by a second predetermined time to generate a second delay signal. The second delay signal is de-multiplexed to generate the first and the second feedback signals, and the first delay signal is de-multiplexed to generate the set of multi-phase, non-overlapping clock signals.
