  • Method and apparatus for synchronizing signals
    Patent number: 6184813
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for synchronizing the arrival of data delivered over a first and second path. The method includes generating a first clock signal; delivering the data to the first path in response to receiving the first clock signal; delaying the first clock signal by a preselected time, wherein the first preselected time substantially corresponds to a difference in the time required for the data to propagate the first and second paths; and delivering the data to the second path in response to receiving the delayed clock signal.

  • Arrangement and method for controlling gain of analog-to-digital converters
    Patent number: 5963159
    Abstract: A gain control arrangement for use in analog-to-digital conversion includes a current generator that generates gain currents as a function of externally applied resistances. The gain currents are sequentially provided to the analog-to-digital converter, enabling the converter to use a single set of externally applied resistances to set differentiated gain factors in each of its channels.
