    摘要: A highly linear time amplifier with power supply rejection. In a reset stage, the threshold value of an over-threshold detector is used for resetting an output node of an amplifier, to eliminate the impact of power supply voltage changes on the threshold value of the threshold detector. A node capacitor unit is charged under the control of an input clock signal. After completion of charging, the node capacitor unit is discharged under the control of a synchronous clock signal. The time amplification gain only depends on the proportion of the charge and discharge current, and the charging and discharging time are completely linear in principle, which eliminates the nonlinearity of the traditional time amplifier, and reduces the negative impact of threshold change on system performance.

    摘要: There is provided a power supply control apparatus for connection to electrical inputs of an electronic device wherein each electrical input is operatively connected to a power source having a sequencer circuit and a control element, the sequencer circuit including sequencer stage(s). The sequencer circuit selectively receives an indication signal, the sequencer circuit selectively receives a positive indication signal indicative of a voltage supplied to a first of the electrical inputs reaching or passing a predefined voltage threshold, and the sequencer circuit selectively provides a control signal to the control element, the control element triggerable by a positive control signal. Each sequencer stage includes circuit elements, the first selectively receives an input signal and selectively provides an intermediate signal to the second, the second selectively provides an output signal.

    摘要: In aspects, the present invention discloses a method of determining an electrical operating time of a circuit breaker (140) in a multiphase electrical system having a subsystem (160) connectable to a power source (110) through a circuit breaker (140) operated by a controller (130). The controller is connected to a current transformer (120, 150) for measuring current of the subsystem in a one phase. The method comprises monitoring the current of the subsystem in the one phase, determining a first rate of change from the monitored current in the one phase, detecting an instance of switching in an another phase based on the first rate of change, and determining an electrical operating time of the circuit breaker in the another phase based on the detected instance of switching and an instance at which a command for switching in the another phase was provided to the circuit breaker.

    摘要: A pump switching device is provided. The pump switching device includes a relay, a switch, a sensor and a controller. The relay selectively couples current to a pump motor. The switch is coupled in parallel with the relay. The sensor is configured to generate a signal upon the detection of a condition. The controller is in communication with the sensor. The controller is further coupled to control the relay and the switch. The controller is configured to activate the switch a select amount of time before the controller activates the relay upon initial detection of the signal from the sensor. The controller is further configured to deactivate the switch a select amount of time after the relay is activated while the signal is being detected.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus for reducing standing wave reflections between delay line modules are described. The delay line modules include semiconductor switches, particularly MOSFET switches fabricated on silicon-on-insulator (“SOI”) and silicon-on-sapphire (“SOS”) substrates and embedded attenuators. According to one aspect, a delay line module includes two switches with delay lines coupled between respective output ports of the switches. Each switch includes MOSFET switches forming conduction paths with selectable high and low impedances. According to another aspect, at least one of the conduction paths includes an attenuator block formed by one or more shunting resistors coupled to one of the MOSFET switches. The output ports of the switches can be selectively coupled to a reference ground via a shunted MOSFET switch.
