Patent number: 7157980Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillating means in a clock converter outputs a positive feedback signal for a positive feedback loop from one output terminal of buffer means forming a portion of a positive feedback loop using voltage controlled phase shifting means and outputs a PLL feedback signal from the other output terminal of the buffer means. The PLL feedback signal is fed back to phase detector means through a signal transmitting circuit. As a result, it is possible to form a PLL feedback loop, which is not affected by the load to thus output a stable clock signal of high frequency. Furthermore, it is possible to realize a small clock converter by narrowing the line width of a wiring pattern in the signal transmitting circuit.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2003Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Hiroyuki Ogiso

Patent number: 7057430Abstract: A clock shaping device includes a first clock signal selection portion that selects between a reception clock signal and a back-up clock signal based on a detected loss in the reception clock signal. A second clock signal selection portion selects between a clock signal received from the first clock signal selection portion and a clock signal received from a quartz crystal oscillation circuit based on a detected loss in the back-up clock signal. A voltage controlled oscillation circuit has a frequency that varies with a control voltage being supplied and outputs a feedback loop output signal. A phase comparison portion generates a phase difference signal based on a comparison between the feedback loop output signal and a clock signal outputted from the second clock signal selection portion. A loop filter smoothes the phase difference signal and outputs the phase difference signal in the form of the control voltage.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2004Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Ogiso, Shinji Nishio

By accommodating the surface acoustic wave resonator in a housing in a vacuum state, the Q-value can be enlarged. By anodic-oxidizing the electrodes forming the IDT, a thick oxide film can be formed, the oxide film enabling the electrodes to be protected from problems, such as short circuit taking due to foreign matters, such as dust, with the characteristics maintained. If the high performance surface acoustic wave resonator unit is molded together with a lead frame by resin, a surface acoustic wave device, that can be mounted on the surface, and that exhibits excellent reliability and high quality, can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 1996Date of Patent: February 2, 1999Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Ogiso, Shuuichi Iguchi, Fumitaka Kitamura
