Abstract: The device is to be used with a parallel architecture PRML reading apparatus comprising a variable-gain input amplifier (21), a low-pass analog filter (22), a transversal analog filter (23) and two distinct and parallel processing channels (24, 34) interposed between the transversal analog filter (23) and an RLL-NRZ decoder (25). The two processing channels (24, 34) comprise respective analog-digital converters (26, 36) and respective Viterbi detectors (27, 37) and operate according to sampling sequences that alternate with one another. The device (30) for processing the servo signals comprises a rectifier (31) connected to the outputs of said analog-digital converters (26, 36) and an integrator (32).

Abstract: A circuit device for restoring the symmetry of an analog signal originated by the reading of data from magnetic supports, including at least one differential cell multiplier whose cell includes a pair of input MOS transistors having respective conduction terminals linked together at a circuit node. Advantageously, provided in parallel with each of the cell input transistors, are a plurality of transistors individually connectable to and disconnectable from each of the input transistors by corresponding switches.

Abstract: This invention relates to a circuit structure of the feedforward type with programmable zeroes, particularly for synthesizing time-continual filters. This structure comprises a pair of amplification cells (14,15) interconnected at at least one interconnection node (A) and connected between a first signal (Vin) input (IN) of a first cell (14) and an output terminal (U) of the second cell (15, each cell (14,15) comprising a pair of transistors (10,2;6,7) which have a conduction terminal in common and have the other conduction terminals coupled respectively to a first voltage reference (Vcc) through respective bias members (3,4;9,11). The structure further comprises a circuit leg (13) connecting a node (X) of the first cell (14) to the output terminal (U) and comprising a transistor (8) which has a control terminal connected to the node (X) of the first cell (14), a first conduction terminal connected to the output terminal (U), and a second conduction terminal coupled to a second voltage reference (GND) through a capacitor (Cc). Thus, a released "zero" can be introduced in the right semiplane of the pole-zero complex plane to improve the flattening of group gain.

Abstract: The invention relates to a low supply voltage analog multiplier which comprises a pair of differential cells (10,11), each cell comprising a pair of bipolar transistors (2,3;6,7) with coupled emitters. A first transistor (2,6) of each cell (10,11) receives an input signal (Vin+,Vin-) on its base terminal and has its collector terminal coupled to a first voltage reference (Vcc) through a bias member (4,8). Advantageously, the second transistor (3,7) of each cell is a diode configuration, and the cells are interconnected at a common node (A) corresponding to the base terminals of the second transistors (3,7) in each pair. This multiplier can be supplied very low voltages and still exhibit a high rate of operation along with reduced harmonic distortion of the output signal, even with input signals of peak-to-peak amplitude above 600 mV.
