  • Techniques to externally control amplifier gain
    Patent number: 11979125
    Abstract: Techniques for setting a gain of an amplifier circuit in which the external resistor of the amplifier circuit is used to determine an internal gain setting to select. A voltage across the external resistor can be compared to an on-chip reference, and then used to program the desired gain. The techniques can mitigate or eliminate the need for a high-accuracy external resistor and can allow substantial improvements in initial gain accuracy and gain drift for existing boards and/or systems with only a bill of material change.
    Type: Grant

  • Feedback system and apparatus for video compensation
    Patent number: 8184723
    Abstract: A system and apparatus for compensating cable losses in a video signal transmission system includes feedback circuits to determine the spectral attenuation of a received signal and to control an equalizer circuit to amplify selected frequencies of the received signal, and to determine the various times of arrival of two or more video signals and selectively adjust one or more delay lines to reduce the differences in their arrival times.
