  • Patent number: 10276255
    Abstract: Sample-and-hold device for an electrical signal including an input module having two inputs, including a first switching block including two input switches, each input of the input module being connected at the input of one of the input switches, the input module being connected at the input of a first track-and-hold module with two inputs and two outputs, so as to alternately convey the signal from one of the two inputs to one of the two inputs of the first track-and-hold module; the device including a second track-and-hold module connected in parallel with the first track-and-hold module, these track-and-hold modules connected at the output of the first switching block, and an output module including a second switching block including two output switches, the outputs of the first and second track-and-hold modules being connected to the inputs of the output switches, to time interleave the output signals of the track-and-hold modules.

  • Patent number: 8476981
    Abstract: A differential amplifier including an input of a balanced type relative to a reference potential; a balanced output; first and second bipolar transistors mounted in common emitter configuration, emitters of the first and second transistors linked by two feedback impedances in series; and a perfect current generator, wherein an impedance Zg at the terminals of the current generator is connected between a common point of the two feedback impedances and the reference potential, the input is connected to a base of the first transistor, a base of the second transistor is linked to the reference potential to form, with a base of the first transistor, the unbalanced input, the balanced output is produced by collectors of the first and second transistors through an impedance matching stage of the output, a correction feedback impedance Zcorr, wherein Zcorr=2·Zg, connects the collector of the second transistor and the base of the first transistor.

  • Patent number: 8072263
    Abstract: A signal power control device comprises two amplification channels. A first amplification channel comprises a first transconductance amplifier and a second amplification channel comprises an attenuator mounted in series with a second transconductance amplifier. Gain adjustment means allow the respective gains of the first and the second amplifier to be controlled independently, according to laws, ensuring optimum output dynamics across the entire gain range of the power control device.

  • Publication number: 20100208773
    Abstract: A filtering device based on an active transconductance filter includes auto-calibration means, the principle of calibration consisting in slaving the power supply current for the filter as a function of the phase shift between a second signal shifted by a first predetermined phase shift with respect to a periodic reference signal, and the output signal of the filter in response to a first signal shifted by a second predetermined phase shift with respect to the periodic reference signal, the slaving tending to minimize the phase shift between the output signal of the filter and the second signal.
