Publication number: 20140002158Abstract: A high-speed fully differential clock duty cycle calibration circuit applied to calibrating the clock duty cycle in a high-speed system. The circuit detects the duty cycle with a continuous time integrator, and directly adjusts the duty cycle on a clock transmission link so as to increase the working speed. Being of a fully differential circuit structure, the circuit can calibrate the duty cycle under a designated process within a higher and wider frequency range, and has relatively good constraining force for process mismatch and common mode noise. The circuit comprises adjustment level ADJ1 and ADJ2, a first buffer level BUF1, a second buffer level BUF2 and a duty cycle detection level DCD.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2011Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: SOUTHEAST UNIVERSITYInventors: Longxing Shi, Danhong Gu, Junhui Gu, Jianhui Wu, Wei Zhao, Zhiyi Ye, Dahai Hu, Meng Zhang, Hong Li

Publication number: 20130307711Abstract: A stochastic time-digital converter (STDC) including an input switching circuit, an STDC array, and an encoder. A clock circuit inputs two clock signals into two input terminals of the input switching circuit; the input switching circuit transmits the two clock signals in a cyclic cross-transposition form to two input terminals of the STDC array, and simultaneously outputs a trigger control signal to the encoder; each comparator in the STDC array independently judges the speeds of the two clock signals and sends the judgement results to the encoder for collection and processing; and the encoder outputs the size and positivity or negativity of the phase difference of the two clock signals. The technical solution utilizes the stochastic characteristic of the STDC to double the number of the equivalent comparators in the STDC array, eliminating the effects on the circuitry of device mismatching and processes, power supply voltage, and temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2012Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: SOUTHEAST UNIVERSITYInventors: Jianhui Wu, Zixuan Wang, Xiao Shi, Meng Zhang, Cheng Huang, Chao Chen, Fuqing Huang, Xincun Ji, Ping Jiang

Publication number: 20130300490Abstract: A return-type current-reuse mixer having a transconductance/amplification stage, a mixing stage, and a high-pass and a low-pass filter network. The transconductance/amplification stage has a current-reuse CMOS topology wherein an input frequency signal is converted into a frequency current, low-frequency components are removed from the frequency current by the high-pass filter network, the frequency current is fed into the mixing stage, modulation occurs in the mixing stage, and then an intermediate-frequency signal is generated and output. Once high-frequency components are removed from the intermediate-frequency signal by the low-pass filter network, the intermediate-frequency signal is sent again for input into the transconductance/amplification stage, then amplified in the transconductance/amplification stage and output. The mixer transconductance/amplification stage employs a current-reuse technique.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2011Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: SOUTHEAST UNIVERSITYInventors: Jianhui Wu, Chao Chen, Hong Li, Longxing Shi, Zixuan Wang, Jie Sun, Zhiyi Ye, Meng Zhang

Patent number: 8577814Abstract: Embodiments may generate a population of candidate rules including multiple rule conditions for detecting duplicates, each duplicate representing different sets of item description information that describe a common item. For each candidate rule of the population, embodiments may apply that rule to a reference data set including known duplicates and non-duplicates. Embodiments may assign each candidate rule a fitness score generated with a fitness function based on the performance of that candidate rule. Embodiments may, based on the fitness scores, select a subset of the population of candidate rules as parents for the new generation of candidate rules. Embodiments may perform crossover and/or mutation operations on the parent candidate rules to generate the new generation of candidate rules. Embodiments may select from the new generation of candidate rules (or from subsequent generations of candidate rules), rules for inclusion within a rule set for detecting duplicates within item description information.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jianhui Wu, Srikanth Thirumalai

Publication number: 20130285715Abstract: A transconductance-enhancing passive frequency mixer comprises a transconductance amplification stage, a frequency mixing stage, and an output transresistance amplifier. The transconductance amplification stage has a pre-amplification transconductance-enhancing structure, so that the transconductance is greatly enhanced, thereby obtaining the same transconductance value at a lower bias current. A radio-frequency current is modulated by the frequency mixing stage to generate an output mid-frequency current signal. The mid-frequency current signal passes through the transresistance amplifier, to form voltage output, and finally obtain a mid-frequency voltage signal. The transresistance amplifier has a transconductance-enhancing structure, thereby further reducing input impedance, and improving current utilization efficiency and port isolation. The frequency mixer has the characteristics of low power consumption, high conversion gain, good port isolation, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2012Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicant: Southeast UniversityInventors: Jianhui Wu, Xiao Shi, Chao Chen, Zhilin Liu, Qiang Zhao, Junfeng Wen, Xudong Wang, Chunfeng Bai, Qian Tian
