PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain low noise by means of a main loop with a low loop gain at the time of locking and to obtain a wide frequency acquiring band by the sub-loop of a high conversion gain controlled by a one chip microcomputer. SOLUTION: The oscillation frequency of VCO 50 is prescribedly frequency- divided by a variable frequency divider 14 and phase-compared with a H-Sync signal by a phase comparator 18. A phase comparing output is fed back to a variable capacitor Cf 54 for fine control through a charge pump 30 and LPF 34 to constitute the main loop. As one with small dC/dV is used for the variable capacitor Cf 54, the loop gain is low and the influence of noise is hardly received. On the other hand, for a variable capacitor for coarse control Cc 52, one with satisfactorily large dC/dV is used. At the time of unlocking, a microcomputer 10 changes the output of D/A converter 66. As the conversion gain of a coarse oscillation circuit is large, the oscillation frequency changes large. At the time of not being locked after waiting the acquisition time of the main loop, this processing is repeated again.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an AC-DC adaptor which can save energy and power cost through power saving by putting it in a power saving mode at no load, thereby reducing wasteful power consumption, and to provide an apparatus connected to the adaptor, and a control method for them. SOLUTION: This AC-DC adaptor (100) can be connected with an apparatus for supplying DC power by means of a power (VCC) line (14) and a ground (GND) line (16) and includes a controller (34), first means (32 and 38) which are connected to the GND line and the controller and detect a short-circuit current between VCC line and the GND line and generate a power saving mode signals (overcurrent signal) which is sent to the controller, and second means (42, 44, and 46), which are connected to the VCC line and the controller and detect the trigger voltage supplied to the VCC line and generate reset signals to be sent to the controller.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To lower the source voltage of a final-stage amplifier, to reduce heat generation and electromagnetic wave radiation, and to improve the reliability by performing cutoff adjustment, luminance adjustment, etc., of a CRT by a clump circuit which is separated from the final-stage amplifier in term of direct current. CONSTITUTION: The source voltage B1 of the final-stage amplifier 5 is only high enough to secure the dynamic range needed for the reference DC level of an analog video signal after amplification and the analog video signal to be amplified. Then the cutoff adjustment of the CRT is made by applying a DC voltage to the base (C point) of a transistor 28 by a variable resistor 26 and the luminance adjustment of the CRT screen is made by applying a control voltage to the base (A point) of a transistor 27. Eventually, the cutoff adjustment, luminance adjustment, etc., of the CRT are made by controlling the clamp voltage of the clamp circuit 19 separated from the final-stage amplifier 5 in terms of direct current. Therefore, the source voltage of the final-stage amplifier 5 is reducible approximately to a half as high as usual.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently compute an error correction code with respect to data transmitted at real time such as moving image or the like. SOLUTION: A transmitter for continuously and sequentially transmitting data, whose regeneration unit is variable, is provided. The transmitter includes an obtaining unit which obtains sequentially the data to be transmitted one by one, a buffer for storing an error correction code for correcting error generated in the data by transmission, a calculation unit which renews the buffer by the exclusive OR by calculating the exclusive OR of the error correcting code stored already in the buffer and the data of the part obtained newly at each time when the data in the obtained part arrives at a predetermined size, and a transmission device which transmits sequentially the data of the obtained part and transmits by reading the error correcting code out of the buffer at each time when the calculating unit reads out the exclusive OR with respect to the data having a size corresponding to the regenerating unit.
