  • Patent number: 6459416
    Abstract: A multi-gray level display designed to display multi-gray level images free of flicker or the like, by using a small number of voltages. The display comprises a first gray-level pattern generating circuit 311 for generating a first gray-level pattern which acquires a gray level during m frame periods, a second gray-level pattern generating circuit 321 for generating a second gray-level pattern which acquires another gray level during n frame periods (n is a positive integer greater than m), and a selection circuit 341 for selecting and outputting one of the preset voltages, in accordance with an output from the first gray-level pattern generating circuit 311 or the second gray-level pattern generating circuit 321 when the input multi-gray level display data corresponds to a gray level of either the first gray-level pattern or the second gray-level pattern.

  • Patent number: 4716308
    Abstract: A MOS logic circuit comprises two P channel MOSFETs connected in parallel between a positive power source V.sub.DD and a logic signal output terminal and two series circuits connected in parallel between a ground voltage source V.sub.SS and the terminal, each series circuit being comprised of serially connected two N channel MOSFETs. The gate electrodes of the MOSFETs located in the corresponding positions in the respective series circuits are connected to first and second logic signal input terminals, respectively. Similarly, the gate electrodes of the other MOSFETs located in the corresponding positions in the respective series circuits are connected to the second and first logic signal input terminals, respectively.

  • Patent number: 4592021
    Abstract: A data readout circuit for an MOS transistor array includes a plurality of data output lines. To each of the data output lines are connected N-channel MOS transistors of a corresponding row group. Each of P-channel data output line selection MOS transistors is connected between each of the data output lines and a data output node. An access time is shortened by controlling the data output line selection MOS transistors to be conductive while the data output lines and the data output node are both in a precharged state.

  • Patent number: 4546327
    Abstract: A signal corresponding to an analog input signal is supplied to one of two input terminals of a two-input, one-output MOS differential amplifier. A reference voltage signal is supplied to the other of the two input terminals of the MOS differential amplifier. A bipolar transistor having one end connected to an analog signal output terminal is driven by a signal from the output terminal of the MOS differential amplifier. A loudspeaker is driven by the bipolar transistor.

  • Patent number: 4524328
    Abstract: A MOS power amplifier circuit comprised of a load driver including two p-channel MOSFETs connected in series, a preamplifier for amplifying an analog input signal and supplying the amplified one to the gate of one of the MOSFETs and for rendering the impedance of the two MOSFETs low; and an inverting amplifier for invert-amplifying the output signal from the preamplifier and supplying the amplified one to the gate of the other MOSFET. The operating voltage of the preamplifier and the inverting amplifier is higher than that of the load driver.

  • Patent number: 4441169
    Abstract: A MOSFET random access memory having a memory cell, an independent write-in switching means and an independent read-out control circuit. The read-out control circuit includes a first MOS transistor controlled by the data stored in the memory cell and a second MOS transistor controlled by a read-out control signal. When the data stored in the memory cell is read out, charge flow between the memory cell and the data line is prevented which results in high reliability.
