Abstract:
A video driver includes a current-to-voltage converter circuit that converts an analog input current to a corresponding analog voltage. Active termination circuitry is configured to synthesize an output impedance at an output thereof that substantially matches a load impedance to which the output is coupled, the active termination circuitry buffering the analog voltage to the output.

Abstract:
A system for providing a desired substantially constant resistance includes a first transistor interconnected between a first node and a second node. The system also includes a second transistor, the second transistor being diode connected, the first transistor and the second transistor forming a current mirror. A voltage divider is coupled to provide a portion of a voltage associated with the first transistor to the second transistor, the voltage divider being configured parallel to the first transistor to provide a substantially constant resistance between the first node and the second node. A current source is coupled to the second transistor, the current source being controlled to draw an amount of current through the second transistor to set the substantially constant resistance substantially equal to the desired substantially constant resistance.

Abstract:
An analog-to-digital (A/D) converter system is provided that compensates for operating variations associated with one or more passive components of the A/D converter. In one aspect of the present invention, the A/D converter system comprises a sigma delta modulator having at least one passive component and a feedback path that includes at least one switched digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and a tracking reference generator that provides compensated reference signals to the at least one switched DAC for providing feedback to the sigma delta modulator. The compensated reference signals include inverse variations that cancel operating variations associated with the at least one passive component.
