    Abstract: The circuit for clock signal extraction from a high speed data stream allows a rapid attainment of the identity between the frequencies of the locally generated clock signal and of the data signal, even when such frequencies are very different. The circuit can easily be inserted into a more complex CMOS digital integrated circuit, it has low power dissipation and is capable of operating at bit rates exceeding 300 Mbit/s. The circuit comprises a main phase locked loop, which controls a voltage controlled oscillator by continually controlling its phase, and a secondary loop, which allows the main loop to become locked, by causing the voltage controlled oscillator to oscillate at a frequency close to the operating frequency.

    Abstract: A device and a method for aligning in time two essentially isochronous digital signals are provided, in which a plurality (2 ) of replicas (CK1-CK4) of the first signal (CKIN), separated by a given phase difference, are generated and a number of said replicas (CK3, CK4) is subjected to sampling (4, 5) in correspondence with the rising edges of the second signal (DATA). As the result of the sampling, a combination of logic signals (SLO, SL1) is obtained which is representative of the phase relation existing between each of said replicas (CK1-CK4) and the second signal (DATA). The output signal (CKOUT) of the device, aligned with the second signal, corresponds to the one, among the replicas (CK1- CK4) of the first signal, which best reproduces the desired alignment condition.

    Abstract: A device is provided for compensating process and operating parameters variations in a CMOS integrated circuit. The device comprises means for generating a first and a second compensation signals which depend on quality indexes of the fabrication process of the P and N transistors of the integrated circuit and on the operating temperature, and which are capable of compensating deviations of the controlled quantity from the desired value, due to the deviation of the quality indexes and temperature, respectively, from a typical value which would originate the desired value for the output parameter. The compensating device also can be implemented in the form of CMOS integrated circuit, preferably jointly with the device to be subjected to compensation.

    Abstract: The delay element consists of a differential amplifier (M15, M8, M2, M6, M5) in which the load transistors (M2, M5) are associated to respective gate biasing transistors (M21, M22) connected in a source follower configuration, and to feedback transistors (M3, M4), which implement a negative impedance in parallel to a positive impedance represented by each of the load transistors (M2, M5). The modulation of the delay is achieved by modulating the bias currents of the load transistors (M2, M5), the feedback transistors (M3, M4) and the gate biasing transistors (M21, M22).

    Abstract: A device (DC) is provided for compensating process and operating parameters variations in a CMOS integrated circuit. The device comprises means (CP, CT) for generating a first and a second compensation signals which depend on quality indexes of the fabrication process of the P and N transistors of the integrated circuit and on the operating temperature, and which are capable of compensating deviations of the controlled quantity from the desired value, due to the deviation of the quality indexes and temperature, respectively, from a typical value which would originate the desired value for the output parameter. The compensating device also can be implemented in the form of CMOS integrated circuit, preferably jointly with the device (OS) to be subjected to compensation.

    Abstract: The circuit comprises bias and modulation current generators (T1...T6) for both p-type and n-type optical sources, and a pair of sources of control voltages (B, M) for the bias and modulation current generators, which obtain pairs of control voltages from an adjustable driving current. An external signal allows selecting, by means of a control logic (LC) and CMOS gates (P1...P6), the generators required by the source (LA). The circuit is made by using three pads of an integrated circuit, one for each control voltage source (B, M) and the third (D) comprising the current generators (T1...T6), the CMOS gates (P1...P6) and the control logic (LC).
