    摘要: An analog multiplier 11 raises a base reference voltage “Vref0” to the nth power so that a reference voltage “Vref1” is produced. Analog multipliers 12 and 13 sequentially raise the reference voltage “Vref1” to the nth power so that reference voltages “Vref2” and “Vref3” are produced. Switch groups 38-41 control the reference voltages “Vref0” to “Vref3”, which are then sent to an analog multiplier 14 together with an input voltage “Vin”. A comparator 14 sequentially compares a multiplication result “Vx” of the multiplier 14 with a voltage “Vout” outputted from a sensor circuit 2, so that a digital output value “Dout” is produced. The analog multiplier 14 is set as appropriate.

    摘要: A data storage apparatus and method that allows the signal processing circuit to be in integrated form, so that the magnetic storage system may be reduced in size with increased performance is described. The apparatus includes a reproducing head that reproduces information stored on a recording medium, a preamplifier that amplifies the output of the reproducing head, and a low-pass filter. An A/D converter converts the output for the low-pass filter to a digital signal and has a reference voltage. A discriminator is coupled to an output of the A/D converter and discriminates the digital signal. A circuit, coupled to the discriminator, provides negative feedback control of the reference voltage of the A/D converter as a function of the digital signal before the discrimination by the discriminator and the digital signal that has been discriminated by the discriminator.

    摘要: A linearity corrector is provided that reduces distortion in a signal processing system, such as an ADC. The linearity corrector provides a first order signal path having distortion components connected to an adder, and a filter product circuit that is also connected to the adder. A method is provided for reducing distortion by calculating a filter product and adding the filter product to a first order signal having a relative delay such that the filter product reduces, or eliminates, the order of distortions corresponding to the order of the filter product.

    摘要: A diversity receiver circuit system (10) including a primary channel (20) and a diversity channel (22), where analog input signals are converted to differential signals in both channels (20, 22). The receiver circuit system (10) includes a multiplexer (14) and a variable gain amplifier (12) formed on a single RF integrated circuit chip (16), where the multiplexer (14) is positioned before the amplifier (12). The differential signals in the primary channel (20) and the diversity channel (22) are applied to an amplified path (72, 78) and a non-amplified path (76, 82) in the multiplexer (14). A control signal selects one of the amplified primary channel signal, the non-amplified primary channel signal, the amplified diversity channel signal or the non-amplified diversity channel signal. The selected signal is then applied to a first amplifier stage (88) and a second amplifier stage (96) in the variable gain amplifier (12), where both amplifier stages (88, 96) include an amplified path (90, 98) and a non-amplified path (92, 100).

    摘要: The analog-to-digital converting circuit apparatus of the invention is intended to realize both low voltage operation and high speed operation of an analog-to-digital converting circuit without impairing the precision characteristic. In plural boosting circuits, voltages higher than each supply voltage are generated. These plural boosting circuits are controlled as the control timing is sequentially shifted by the controller. The boosted voltages delivered from the plural boosting circuits are accumulated in the capacitor, and supplied into the analog-to-digital converter. In the analog-to-digital converter, at the timing other than the changeover timing of the converting action of the analog-to-digital converter, the plural boosting circuits are changed over sequentially, and the boosted voltages are converted from analog to digital values.

    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter stage includes: a comparator and logic circuit having first upper and lower unscaled voltage trip points that are different than upper and lower residue voltage trip points; and a switched capacitor circuit. The comparator and logic circuit is configured prior to an initial residue calculation cycle to compare a magnitude of an unscaled input voltage to the first upper and lower unscaled voltage trip points, to generate an initial output bit, and to generate a voltage scaling and gain control signal. The switched capacitor circuit is configured to sample the unscaled input voltage, to receive a reference voltage, and to receive the voltage scaling and gain control signal for selectively controlling a subset of switches of the switched capacitor circuit to scale the unscaled input voltage sample and reference voltage and generate an initial residue voltage during a single operation of the initial residue calculation cycle.
