Patents by Inventor Joe Welser

Joe Welser has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6608572
    Abstract: An integrated analog to digital and sample rate converter 206 includes sampling circuitry 207 for receiving an analog signal and generating a single or multibit stream of digital signals at a first rate. A leaky integrator filter 208 removes quantization noise from the stream of samples such that resampling can be carried out. Circuitry 209/210 resamples the filtered stream of samples output from leaky integrator filter 208 to generate an output stream of samples at a second rate.

  • Patent number: 6489901
    Abstract: A sample rate converter 210, 209 includes a filter 210 for processing digital data in response to a clock controlled by a clock enable signal, the filter 210 receiving the digital data at a first sampling rate and outputting digital data at a second sampling rate. Resampler circuitry 209 generates first selected periods of the clock enable signal having a first duty cycle approximating a ratio between the first sampling rate and the second sampling rate. Selectively, selected periods of the clock enable signal are generated having a second duty cycle for minimizing an error accumulated over the first selected periods of the clock enable signal.
