Patent number: 9407208Abstract: A Class AB amplifier has a control stage and a push-pull stage. The control stage has a programmable resistor that allows a floating constant voltage to applied to the push-pull stage such that the quiescent current of the amplifier is relatively low. The configuration enables the amplifier to operate properly at relatively low power-supply voltage levels. The amplifier can be configured as the output driver for an operational amplifier (op-amp) with a Miller compensation configuration that replaces the conventional Miller compensation resistor with a transistor that is part of the op-amp.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: LATTICE SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Vinh Ho, Carl Chai, Allan Lin

Patent number: 8797064Abstract: In one embodiment, a hybrid output buffer having both an H-bridge mode and a CML mode of operation includes a plurality of transistor switches arranged between an upper rail and a bottom rail. A first pair of the transistor switches couples between the upper rail and respective output nodes. A pair of resistors couples between the output nodes and a central node. During H-bridge mode, the hybrid output buffer controls a potential of the upper rail responsive to a feedback signal proportional to a difference between a potential of the central node and a common-mode voltage.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2013Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Lattice Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Vinh Ho, Magathi Jayaram, Allan Lin

Patent number: 5726595Abstract: A circuit is for re-synchronizing an event indication signal received from a foreign domain to generate a result indication signal that is re-synchronized to a host clock signal. The event indication signal is received from the foreign domain at a first input terminal; and a host clock signal is received at a second input terminal. Edge-triggered flip flop circuitry of the circuit has a clock input, a data input, and a data output. The clock input is coupled to the second input terminal and the data input is coupled to receive a latch output signal. The edge-triggered flip flop circuitry clocks the latch output signal to the data output of the flip flop circuitry, to generate a result event indication signal, in response to a transition in the host clock signal. Delay circuitry is coupled to the first input terminal to receive the event indication signal. The delay circuitry provides a delayed event indication signal having a phase that is delayed from the event indication signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1996Date of Patent: March 10, 1998Assignee: National Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Allan Lin, L.
