Publication number: 20020118040Abstract: A level shifting circuit (500) is provided for shifting a first voltage level to a second voltage level. The level shift is done by two inverters (542, 543) connected in cascade. The input of the first inverter forms the input port (501) of the level shifting circuit (500) where the first voltage level is input. The output of the second inverter forms the output port (502) of the level shifting circuit (500) where the second voltage level is output. The level shifting circuit (500) is operated by a single operating voltage (VDD). It further comprises a leakage current limiting circuit (541) connected in series between the first inverter (542) and the operating voltage (VDD) to limit a leakage current through the logic level shifting circuit (500). The level shifting circuit (500) is particularly suited to use in shifting logical 1 levels in mobile telephones.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2002Publication date: August 29, 2002Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventor: Vesa-Matti Salminen

Patent number: 6259323Abstract: A gain control in an amplifier. The gain controller is an active amplifier device which provides high and low gain by switching DC biasing at the gain control terminals and also switching device terminal designations. In high gain mode, the DC voltage source is connected to a first bias terminal of the gain controller. The device terminal connected to said first bias terminal through a load is designated as the drain terminal. A constant current source is connected to a second bias terminal of the gain controller which is designated as the source terminal. In low gain mode, the constant current source is connected to the first bias terminal. Now the device terminal connected to the said first bias terminal through the load is redesignated as the source terminal. The DC voltage source is connected to the second bias terminal of the gain controller and the terminal is redesignated as the drain terminal.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventor: Vesa-Matti Salminen
