  • Patent number: 5392456
    Abstract: A method of controlling the time constant of a filter for use in a radio receiver which receives a signal, transmitted from a transmitting station at a predetermined period, intermittently at the predetermined period and demodulates and delivers the received signal, a filter circuit having the time constant control function based on the method, and a radio receiver having the filter circuit. Preferably, the filter has its time constant switchable stepwise and specifically, parallel connection of capacitors or shortcircuiting of resistors is controlled by turning on/off switches.

  • Patent number: 4454467
    Abstract: A reference voltage generator includes a first n-channel MISFET which has a p.sup.+ -type polycrystalline silicon gate electrode, and second and third n-channel MISFETs which have n.sup.+ -type polycrystalline silicon gate electrodes. The first MISFET has its gate and source coupled in common. The second MISFET has its gate coupled to the drain of the first MISFET, and has its source coupled to an output terminal. The third MISFET is supplied across its gate and source with a voltage which is delivered to the output terminal. First and second bias currents to be supplied to the first and second MISFETs respectively are made levels proportional to the drain current of the third MISFET. As a result, the output voltage of the output terminal is made a level which is substantially in agreement with the difference between the threshold voltages of the first and second MISFETs.

  • Patent number: 4019070
    Abstract: An initial state-setting circuit wherein a malfunction preventing transistor is connected in series with an input transistor of a flip-flop, and is rendered conductive a short time after closure of a power supply switch. Even when noise arises immediately after the closure of the power supply, no malfunction due to the noise is induced, since the malfunction preventing transistor is not yet conductive.
