Abstract: A fibre optic plug is provided comprising a fiber optic connector (16) comprising a connector housing (18) and a plug ferrule (20) at least partially disposed within the connector housing and capable of being mounted upon an end portion of at least one optical fiber. The fiber optic connector is an MTRJ connector, SC-DC connector, SC connector, LC connector, or MTP connector. A plug body (14) extends lengthwise between a first end (48) and a second end (50) and has a shroud (56) proximate the first end (48) thereof, wherein the first end is opposed from the second end, the shroud (56) being adjacent a shaft of the plug body and defining at least one opening (58). The shroud extends from a cylindrical portion (54) of the shaft to the first end, the shroud being cylindrical. The plug body also includes a collar (90) disposed upon the shaft (52, 54) such that travel of the collar in the lengthwise direction is limited even though rotation of the collar (90) about a longitudinal axis defined by the shaft is permitted. The fiber optic connector (16) is disposed within the plug body such that the plug ferrule (20) is accessible within the shroud (56) via the first end (48) of the plug body (14).

Abstract: A delay circuit is provided for use in a ring oscillator of a phase locked loop (PLL). The delay circuit includes a differential pair of NMOS transistors 102 and 103 with an NMOS transistor 101 providing the tail current for the differential pair. Complementary NMOS and PMOS load transistors 104,106 and 105, 107 provide loads for the differential transistor 102 and 103. Transistors 111-114 and 121-122 together with an amplifier 130 provide biasing for the delay device. The amplifier 130 has a non-inverting input set to VDD-VCLAMP. As configured, a constant output voltage swing from VDD to VDD-VCLAMP is provided at the outputs VOUT+ and VOUT- of the delay device, independent of a control voltage VCTL used to set the tail current. The NMOS load transistor 104, as opposed to the PMOS transistor 4 in FIG. 1, does not contribute to the gate parasitic capacitance enabling a high operation speed without consumption of more supply current. A wide frequency tuning range of a ring oscillator using the delay circuit of FIG. 2 is provided because the operating frequency for a ring oscillator will be directly proportional to the tail current through transistor 101.
