  • Patent number: 6012079
    Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated pass-transistor logic circuit which includes a conditional sum adder. This sum adder has seven sum generation blocks of module form and two carry generation blocks. With the sum adder, before carry propagation which is generated through multiplexer chain in respective sum generation blocks arrives at the final stage of the multiplexer chain, the final stage is driven by block carry signals BC.sub.i and /BC.sub.i provided from the respective carry generation blocks. The carry generation and the sum generation occur individually in the conditional sum adder. The sum generation blocks are constituted with pass-transistor logic and the carry generation blocks with Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) logic, the sum adder has a more faster operation speed and a more lower power dissipation, as compared with the prior art conditional sum adder having either the pass-transistor logic or the CMOS logic.

  • Patent number: 5923183
    Abstract: A CMOS output buffer circuit includes a predriving circuit which generates two predriving signals, a main driving circuit which has a plurality of parallel connected pull-up transistors and a plurality of parallel connected pull-down transistors, and a sequential driving circuit which provides sequential pull-up and pull-down driving signals to the pull-up and pull-down transistors, respectively. The main driving circuit generates the output signal according to the sequential pull-up or pull-down driving signals, whereby the output signal is developed step by step into either the power supply potential or the ground potential. In the manner, any spike in the switching current is considerably mitigated, thereby reducing switching noise.

  • Patent number: 5673350
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an accurate method using laser welding for mounting an optical focusing lens utilized in a semi-conductor laser module for optical transmission and optical amplification through an optical fiber and a laser module so produced. The laser module includes an aligned laser diode, a lens fixture mounting the laser diode, a focusing lens mounted within a lens housing which in turn is mounted by a lens ring to the lens fixture. In the method, the steps include aligning mutual positions between the laser diode and the optical focusing lens in the vertical and horizontal directions so that the magnitude of the optical signal output from the optical fiber is maximized after the distance between the optical focusing lens and the optical fiber is adjusted and fixed to obtain a maximum optical coupling efficiency between the laser diode and the optical fiber. Next a laser-welding step is performed at an interval between the lens housing and the lens ring.
