IPC: H03F3/45
Filed: 2020-03-12
Abstract: A fully differential amplifier circuit (differential output) 150 includes first and second amplifiers (e.g. operational amplifiers, op-amps) 82, 84 configured to amplify a differential input signal with a non-inverting gain and a third operational amplifier 152 providing feedback. The first and second amplifiers respectively receive first and second components VIN1, VIN2 of the differential input signal at their non-inverting inputs and provide components of a differential output signal VOUT1, VOUT2 at their respective outputs 92, 98. The third op-amp has a non-inverting input coupled to the outputs of the first and second amplifiers, an inverting input receiving a reference signal Vcm, and an output coupled to at least one of the first and second amplifier inverting inputs. The third op-amp causes the first and second amplifiers to generate a common-mode output signal related to the reference signal. A method includes generating a differential output signal by amplifying a differential input signal with a non-inverting gain, loading a common-mode reference signal with an impedance no less than an input impedance of an amplifier, and generating a common-mode output signal by amplifying a common mode input signal with a gain less than unity. The amplifier circuit may be used in applications where a reduced common-mode gain is desirable in addition to high input impedance and low noise factor.

Title: Packet prioritization based on packet time stamp information
Inventor: CHARLES HARDT
IPC: H04L47/2416
Filed: 2017-07-25
Abstract: A method for prioritising content segments of a media stream directed towards one or more client devices, wherein a central device sends a system time clock value to the client devices, receives a content segment waiting to be placed in an output queue, parses the content segment to retrieve time stamp information associated with one of the client devices 305, and identifies a system time value associated with the associated device 310. The central device compares the time stamp information to the system time clock information 315, and if the time stamp information is greater than the system time clock information by less than a predetermined threshold, the central device deviates from a default packet transmission scheme by placing the content segment ahead of other content segments in the queue, thereby prioritising its output 330. The prioritisation of packets may also include altering the transmission rate and the time stamps may be presentation time stamps (PTS) or decode time stamps (DTS).
