  • System for series to parallel conversion of a low-amplitude and high frequency signal
    Patent number: 6175885
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for the conversion of a series signal received in the form of a low-amplitude, high-frequency differential signal into n parallel signals. The device uses a scheme derived from that of a static memory cell as a sample-and-hold unit and amplifier. The device continues to perform well when the differential signal comprises noise in common mode.

  • Differential input stage for wideband reception with high rejection of common mode
    Patent number: 5973515
    Abstract: An integrated circuit comprises at least one differential input stage. The differential input stage includes an input circuit and a shaping circuit. The input circuit comprises a first portion and a second portion for providing two pairs of differential signals. The propagation times of the first and second circuit portions are preferably substantially identical. The shaping circuit differentiates each of the two pairs of differential signals and combines them to obtain a single binary type of signal.

  • Programmable, multi-buffer device and method for exchanging messages between peer-to-peer network nodes
    Patent number: 5928326
    Abstract: The invention pertains to the information systems field, in which a system is constituted by several machines which, in order to exchange data, communicate with one another through serial links. The invention relates more specifically to a device for exchanging messages between two data processing machines by means of a bidirectional serial link (2).
