Title: PVT adjustment for the timing of sense amplifier enable pulses
Inventor: MITTAL ANURAG
IPC: G11C7/08
Filed: 2007-11-08
Abstract: The enable timing for sense amplifiers in a memory-containing integrated circuit 2 is set in dependence on the response time of a test sense amplifier circuit. This allows the optimum sense amplifier performance to be attained for any PVT (process, voltage and temperature) conditions while reducing wasteful operation margins. The testing circuit overhead is low. The test may comprise pass/fail or statistical assessment of the test sense amplifier performance for differing applied enable timings. The testing may be conducted by an internal or external test controller 18,20 and the setting may take into account available redundancy. The testing may be performed during manufacturing test or may be performed repeatedly during IC operation or when the IC conditions change. The test sense amplifier circuit may comprise two amplifiers subject respectively to fast and slow enable pulses (figure 5). Operating voltage or clock frequency may be adapted instead of signal timing. These parameters may be stored in non-volatile memory 12,14.

Title: Time-multiplexed common mode feedback for passive quadrature RF mixers
Inventor: TILLMAN FREDRIK
IPC: H03D1/22
Filed: 2009-04-03
Abstract: A passive, differential RF mixer reduces second order intermodulation interference by means of common mode feedback wherein the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) error signals in the feedback path are time-multiplexed using a four-phase local oscillator (LO) signal. The method maintains I/Q isolation. An RF signal is received at a differential input having a center tap. The RF signal is mixed with an in-phase differential signal of the four-phase LO signal in a differential mixer (l mixer). The RF signal is also mixed with a quadrature-phase differential signal of the four-phase LO signal in a differential mixer (Q mixer). The common mode levels of the I and Q differential mixer outputs are compared to a reference DC voltage to generate I and Q error signals. The I and Q error signals are time-multiplexed and fed back to the RF input centre tap.

Abstract: 756,938. Condenser arrangements. METROPOLITAN-VICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. April 14, 1954 [April 14, 1953], No. 10212/53. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XL (c)] In a pulse generator circuit of the type in which a storage circuit is charged from a voltage source and discharged through a load, the discharge is effected through two series-connected discharge devices which are triggered sequentially, in this way the possibility of " firing through " of the devices is reduced. The Figure shows a high voltage pulse generator in which a delay line SC is charged from a D.C. supply via choke L2 and rectifier D and is periodically discharged through transformer T1 when ignitrons 11, 12 are triggered so generating a pulse across load Z. The ignitrons are triggered sequentially by selection of their characteristics or by provision of a delay network DL in one trigger circuit so that ignitron I2 connected to the negative line fires first, followed by I1. Network L1, C1 constitutes a filter circuit for the D.C. supply.
