IPC: H02H9/00

Abstract: A method of providing bias voltages for input output connections on low voltage integrated circuits. As integrated circuit voltages drop generally so does the external voltages that those circuits can handle. By placing input and output devices, in series, external voltages can be divided between the devices thereby reducing junction voltages seen by internal devices. By using external voltages as part of a biasing scheme for integrated circuit devices, stress created by the differential between external voltages and internal voltages can be minimized. Additionally device wells can be biased so that they are at a potential that is dependent on the external voltages seen by the low voltage integrated circuit.

Abstract: The circuit has a sampling circuit (16) for sampling an analog received signal using a sampling clock. An echo compensation circuit (7), which is adaptively controlled by a setting signal, compensates for an echo signal caused by a signal transmitted from the transceiver. A control circuit (41) generates a clock phase control signal indicative of the phase offset between the signal phase of the sampling signal and a reference signal phase for an ideal sampling clock signal. A loop filter (47) filters the control signal. A phase counter (51) generates a sampling clock signal based on the filtered control signal. An amplitude limiting circuit (49) is arranged between the loop filter and the phase counter for limiting the amplitude of the filtered control signal to a limit value that depends on the setting signal for the echo signal compensation circuit.
