Abstract:
A circuit is described for coordinating the addressing of a plurality of tap multipliers in a transversal filter, which is employed as a pre-equalizer. with a received data stream. The data stream updates information stored in a memory. The updated information is applied to the tap multipliers at a rate eight times the rate that the data stream updates the memory. A memory and tap address counter, operating at a rate that the information is applied to the taps is synchronized with the updating data stream by causing the address counter to slip one count for each cycle thereof.
Abstract:
A self-companding pulse code modulation converter employs switched gain ratio of an operational amplifier. Capacitors, weighted to correspond to the quantizing characteristic, are switched between the input and feedback circuits of an operational amplifier to change the gain ratio.
