Abstract: A high-voltage input tolerant receiver capable of achieving power savings with less distortion of analog signals is disclosed. When an external signal ?C input from a PAD 2 is less than 3.6V, a p-channel MOS transistor P10 is turned off. As a result, a control signal ?E becomes 0V to turn on a p-channel MOS transistor P1. At this time, an intermediate signal ?D output from a clamp circuit 3 becomes equivalent to the external signal ?C, and is not distorted. However, when the external signal ?C exceeds 3.6V, the p-channel MOS transistor P10 is turned on, and a control signal ?F output from a differential amplifier 9 becomes 0V. As a result, the p-channel MOS transistor P1 is turned off, and a level keeper 6 is enabled. Since the level keeper 6 remains inactive until the external signal exceeds 3.6V, current flowing through the level keeper 6 can be reduced.

Abstract: Method of assigning a fixed subscriber unit (FSU) to communicate with a particular base station and a system including a plurality of wireless FSUs. The system includes a plurality of base stations, which are coupled to a telecommunications network. Each FSU is coupled to a subscriber communication device, and each FSU is configured to communicate wirelessly with at least a base station. The FSU measures signal strength of a set of base stations. The FSU sends a message with the measured signal strength of the set of base stations to a base station. Circuitry coupled to the base station determines at least a base station to which the FSU is to be assigned based on the message and additional information in the circuitry coupled to the base station. In response to the determining by the circuitry coupled to the base station, the base station sends to the FSU a message including the base station to which the FSU is to be assigned.

Abstract: A slew rate of a data signal is controlled to be smaller than a slew rate of a strobe signal by independently controlling the slew rate of the data signal and slew rates of control signals by controlling the strobe signal with the slew rate controller of the driver. The gradient of the signal waveform is controlled in the transition times of the strobe signal to be greater than that of the data signal.

Abstract: A fixed subscriber unit includes a memory which stores first information for radio capture of an actual base radio station and second information for radio capture of a pseudo base radio station. There is a switch whose position is changeable. One of the first information and the second information is selected in response to the position of the switch. Radio capture of one of the actual base radio station and the pseudo base radio station is implemented in response to the selected information.

Abstract: To ascertain in a pseudo-incoming call sequence whether or not a fixed subscriber unit of a user is set to an operation condition to wait for an incoming call, when a pseudo-incoming call is transmitted from a pseudo-incoming call outputting unit of a base station managing apparatus to the fixed subscriber unit through a wireless base station and a radio communication path, the fixed subscriber unit outputs an incoming call response signal to the base station managing apparatus through the wireless base station. Therefore, the base station managing apparatus can recognize that the fixed subscriber unit is set to an operation condition. Thereafter, to prevent a telephone connected with the fixed subscriber unit outputting a ringer sound, in place of a ringer sound urging signal in an incoming call sequence, a sequence interrupting signal is output from an incoming call sequence interrupting unit of the base station managing apparatus to the fixed subscriber unit through the wireless base station.

Abstract: An off-hook/on-hook signal discriminating means 5a is provided in a control portion 5 of the FSU in order to make discrimination between a pulse dial signal and a hooking signal. When a telephone turns to an off-hook state after an on-hook state and turns to an on-hook state again and the on-hook state is continued for a predetermined time, the FSU performs a terminating process so as to be returned into a standby state. When an off-hook signal is detected again in a time smaller than a predetermined time, the FSU recognizes that the signal is either a dial pulse signal or a hooking signal, and the off-hook/on-hook signal discriminating means 5a monitors the time required for detecting an on-hook signal again. When the time required for detecting an on-hook signal again is smaller than the predetermined time, the FSU decides that the signal is a dial pulse signal, and controls a tone generating circuit 7f to stop the dial tone.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital (A/D) converter capable of receiving a differential input for improved noise rejection and having two static resistive ladders for reducing power consumption. The resistive ladders are anti-parallel and have a high impedance, each dividing fixed voltages into a group of reference voltages. A first stage of comparators compares the positive signal of the differential input with each of the reference voltages from one of the resistive ladder, and the negative input signal with each of the reference voltages from the other resistive ladder. The outputs of the first stage of comparators are compared by a second stage of comparators to generate a group of binary outputs in parallel. An encoder converts the outputs of the second-stage comparators into a digital value. Decoupling capacitors are also provided to reduce the AC impedance of the resistive ladders.
