摘要:
A nonlinear echo compensator compensates for nonlinear echo in a transceiver including a transmitter line driver with current cells that are operated in a Class B operating mode. A mapping circuit generates a pattern dependent driving signal. A coefficient generator generates a compensator coefficient. A canceling circuit communicates with the mapping circuit and the coefficient generator and compensates for nonlinear echo in a received signal based on the pattern dependent driving signal and the compensator coefficient.

A low-noise amplifier includes a first amplification device. The first amplification device includes a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The low-noise amplifier also includes a feedback circuit in communication with the control terminal and the first terminal. The feedback circuit compares a voltage, corresponding to an output current associated with the first terminal, with a predetermined reference voltage to generate a bias signal applied to the control terminal for biasing the low-noise amplifier.
摘要:
A method and circuit are disclosed for changing the output impedance of an impedance controlled buffer from an initial impedance to a final impedance, while minimizing data transmission errors. The buffer has a plurality of impedance control inputs, with each of the plurality of impedance control inputs receiving a corresponding one of a plurality of bits of a binary coded impedance control signal. The output impedance of the buffer is controlled as a function of a value of the impedance control signal. First, the value of the impedance control signal is changed from an initial value corresponding to the initial output impedance to an intermediate value corresponding to an intermediate output impedance which is less than the initial output impedance. Next, the intermediate value of the impedance control signal is changed to a final value corresponding to the final output impedance.

An input circuit for an integrated circuit (IC), which is mounted on a package having an input pin, rejects signal energy at a first frequency. A first bondwire arranged on the package has one end that communicates with the pin and an opposite end that communicates with components of the IC. A second bondwire located on the package has one end that communicates with the pin and an opposite end that communicates with a capacitance. The capacitance and an inductance of the first and second bondwires resonate at the first frequency to reject signal energy at the first frequency. Bondwires are also used to eliminate external components such as resonant components and impedance matching circuits to reduce cost.

A protection circuit for a power amplifier of a radio frequency transmitter includes a sensing circuit that generates a sensed signal based on an output of the power amplifier. A reference signal generator generates a reference signal. A comparator communicates with the sensing circuit and the reference signal generator and outputs a first state when the reference signal exceeds the sensed signal and a second state when the sensed signal exceeds the reference signal. A turn off circuit turns off the power amplifier when the comparator is in the second state.
