Patent EP-1274067-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TSUCHI HIROSHI
IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 2002-07-02
Abstract: Disclosed is a driver circuit for producing a voltage output in
highly precise fashion with little consumption of power. The driver
circuit includes a first follower transistor (111) and a first switch (131)
connected between an output terminal (T1) and a high-potential power
supply(VDD); a first current source (113) and a second switch (132)
connected serially between the output terminal (T2) and a low-potential
power supply(VSS); a second follower transistor (121) and a third
switch (141) connected between the output terminal (T2) and the low-potential
power supply (VSS); a second current source (123) and a
fourth switch (142) connected between the output terminal (T2) and the
high-potential power supply(VDD); and first and second gate bias
control means (11 and 12) for supplying the first and second
transistor(111 and 121) with bias voltages based upon an input signal
voltage. At one timing in a low-potential data output interval, the first
switch(131) is turned on, thereby causing the first transistor (111) to
perform a follower operation to drive output voltage to the vicinity of a
certain voltage defined in conformity with the input signal voltage.
The second switch (132) is turned on at a timing subsequent to the one
timing, thereby controlling the drain current of the first transistor (111)
and driving the output voltage to the certain voltage highly precisely in
conformity with the input signal voltage. At one timing in a high-potential
data output interval, the third switch (141) is turned on and
then the fourth switch (142) is turned on subsequently.

Abstract: A thin layer SOI high-voltage device (100) in which the drift charge is depleted using a three-dimensional MOS capacitor structure (10). The drift region of the high-voltage semiconductor device is doped with a graded charge profile which increases from source-to-drain. The drift region is physically patterned to create a stripe geometry where individual SOI stripes (16a, 16b). Each SOI stripe (16a and 16b) is individually circumscribed longitudinally by a dielectric layer (22a, 22b) wherein each dielectric layer (22a, 22b) is longitudinally circumscribed by field platesof a conducting multi-capacitor field plate layer (30) which is electrically shorted to the substrate (12). The resultant structure is a thin drift-region stripe which is completely enclosed by a MOS field plate, resulting in three-dimensional depletion upon application of a bias voltage between the SOI stripe (16a and 16b) and its encapsulating field plates.

Abstract: An audio encoder and decoder use architectures and techniques that improve the efficiency of multi-channel audio coding and decoding. The described strategies include various techniques and tools, which can be used in combination or independently. For example, an audio encoder performs a pre-processing multi-channel transform on multi-channel audio data, varying the transform so as to control quality. The encoder groups multiple windows from different channels into one or more tiles and outputs tile configuration information, which allows the encoder to isolate transients that appear in a particular channel with small windows, but use large windows in other channels. Using a variety of techniques, the encoder performs flexible multi-channel transforms that effectively take advantage of inter-channel correlation. An audio decoder performs corresponding processing and decoding. In addition, the decoder performs a post-processing multi-channel transform for any of multiple different purposes.
