Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a variable gain amplifier provided with high dynamic characteristics and a wide frequency band, operated by a low voltage combining output signals which are generated by first and second amplifiers and a variable current oscillator and converting them by a converter. CONSTITUTION: This variable gain amplifier VGA is composed of a first voltage- current (V/I) amplifier, provided with a fixed gain and a second V/I amplifier provided with a variable gain operated in parallel with a first amplifier. Then, the output currents of the first and second amplifiers are totaled in a circuit for totaling and third current signals generated by the variable current oscillator driven by a control voltage VCONTROL are totaled as well. Then, the circuit Σfor totaling is used among three circuit blocks and a current-voltage converter (I/V) and supplies a low impedance node for totaling the output currents. Thus, the I/V converter converts the total of the output current signals of the three blocks into voltage signals.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten transconductance stable time after a request for changing the interruption frequency of a filter by installing a feedback loop between the output/input of a transconductor connected to DAC so that reference current is set and making reference current which is set by DAC into a mirror image. SOLUTION: In a master section circuit, output current IR from DAC 7, which is set by reference current generated by a current source 8 and digital word FC-WORD, is made into a mirror image by a PMOS transistor 20 which is diode-connected. Current which is made into the mirror image is sent later from a PMOS transistor 21 to an NMOS transistor 22. It is made into the mirror image in an NMOS transistor 23. The drain terminal of the transistor 23 is connected to a node 6 and a capacitor 5 is connected to the node 6. Thus, the transistor 22 sets the current of the transistor 23.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a feed forward(FF) circuit structure with which delay can be programmed according to a request while maintaining the suitable band width of signals. SOLUTION: This FF circuit structure provided with programmable zero is provided with first and second cells to be cascade connected. The said first and second cells are respectively provided with the first and second pairs of bipolar transistors, a first high impedance element, a second high element and a fifth transistor 8. The base terminal of the fifth transistor 8 receives a signal, which is outputted from the collector terminal of the first pair of first transistors 1, to be outputted as a positive code at the first cell but to be outputted as a negative code at the second cell in order to determine a transmission function having a pair of special points in molecules. A second transistor 2 in the said pair of first and second transistors 1 and 2 is controlled by respective third and fourth current sources 11 and 9 having different values.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To reduce the integration area and to accelerate the processing concerning a structure provided with a serial type interface for connection to a data transmission line, by connecting a part of a register to the bundled line and transmitting both a register address and data. CONSTITUTION: A decoded address latch 5 stores the output state of an address decoder 4 until the other address is transmitted through a multiplex bus 2. Only when this address is the address of a designated data register 1, according to the output of this latch 5, data transmitted after this address are written in this register. A write line 9 transmits a data write signal through a logic gate 7 of AND type. A data read circuit means 3 reads data out of this register 1 so as to repeat data from the multiplex bus 2. Only when the transmitted address is as prescribed, a read command starts reading from this register 1.

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: A fully integrated, phase locked loop (PLL) having improved jitter characteristics exploits the same digital/analog converter (DAC) that is normally used for controlling the time constant of the low pass loop filter for controlling the value of a capacitance connected between the output of a voltage-to-current converting input stage of the voltage controlled oscillator and ground that introduces a third pole in the loop's transfer function. In this way the separation in the frequency domain between the zero and the third pole of the transfer function is kept constant, thus the dumping factor remains constant while the omega o of the PLL is varied.
