In contrast to previous solutions, this chip supports both single and multichannel applications. In single-channel applications, the rate adapter chip and an 8-bit microcontroller with RAM and ROM implement a complete system. In multichannel applications, up to 256 rate adapters can connect to one PCM (pulse-code modulation) highway without any additional hardware. Statistical subchannel multiplexing compliant with CCITT recommendations G.704 and I.460 is easily realized owing to the integrated programmable bus adapter and a flexible bandwidth assignment. The rate adapter was designed in a 2- mu m double-metal CMOS technology. The 50 k-transistor device dissipates 80 mW in worst-case conditions. The rate adapter chip is a key building block in a 144-kb/s U-modem. Connecting rate adapters in parallel to a single-chip U-interface circuit allows the time-division multiplexing of up to 16 data terminals onto one full-duplex two-wire 155-kb/s link. As a result, this system provides a low-cost access to the ISDN for existing terminal equipment.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":385838,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference, 1989 ISSCC.

It is intended to drive the cathode of a cathode ray tube (CRT) in a projection television or a high-definition television (HDTV) set. The amplifier comprises a transadmittance stage followed by a feedback transimpedance amplifier. A zero in the feedback transfer allows the open-loop voltage gain of the transimpedance amplifier to have a -12-dB/octave slope at the unity loop-gain frequency. A zero in the transfer of the transadmittance stage results in a larger overall bandwidth than is possible in a conventional voltage-feedback configuration. The high-voltage DMOS technology which is used is based on a 10-mask bipolar process with double-sided p+ isolation and n+ collector diffusions. The 150-V/sub pp/ step response is shown. The rise and fall times are 11 and 12 ns, respectively, yielding slew rates of 13 and 12 kV/ mu s respectively. The overshoot is 12%. The small-signal (10 V/sub pp/) bandwidth, limited by the third pole of the transimpedance amplifier, exceeds 60 MHz. The large-signal (150-V/sub pp/) bandwidth, limited by slew rate, is 30 MHz.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":385838,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference, 1989 ISSCC.

In contrast to III-V semiconductor dividers, the standard supply voltage of only 5 V is sufficient. The circuit design is based on an optimized 8:1 frequency divider yielding 8 GHz for a 2- mu m silicon bipolar technology with self-aligned emitter-base configuration. As is shown by the divider results, this technology is suited for data processing at high data rates, for which basic elements such as multiplexers, demultiplexers, D-flip-flops, etc. have been designed.

The saturation current of the present FIT CCD is 900 nA up to 625 kHz, whereas that of the conventional FIT CCD is fairly poor even at 300 kHz. The high transfer speed results from reduction of gate resistance. The photoconversion characteristics measured at a transfer frequency of 625 kHz show that the sensitivity reaches 50 nA/lx.
