Abstract: The present invention provides an analog signal generator capable of simultaneously improving both items of the influence of noise on a peripheral circuit and the settling time for a desired voltage level. A D/A converter to which the analog signal generator is applied, is configured as follows. A controller supplies a fixed value to data generation units, which respectively generate data according to clock signals and output the same to a buffer unit. The buffer unit temporarily holds the data therein. Control signals generated from the controller are supplied to a selection unit or selector, which decodes the control signals and thereby generates selection signals to turn ON/OFF the output of the data held in the buffer unit in response to the selection signals, after which the corresponding data is supplied to a filter unit, where an analog signal is generated based on the data supplied to the filter unit.

Abstract: The modem has an RF section developing an RSSI signal and a baseband signal converted from a received signal. A reference voltage output section feeds a reference voltage to a comparator. The comparator outputs, when the RSSI signal is higher in level than the reference voltage, a control signal to the RF section, an A/D converter and a demodulator of a receiver modem. The modem thus provides a data receiver capable of reducing power consumption in the entire system, while maintaining a reliable detection of received signals.

Abstract: An AGC circuit controls LNA and VGA amplifiers such that a received signal is converted at a high speed with tracking errors prevented according to each modulation scheme. The AGC circuit generates LNA and VGA control signals controlling the LNA and VGA amplifiers, respectively. A digital signal, converted from the received signal, is calculated for a power value, on which scaling is performed by a scaling section to then be provided through an adder and a register to a control signal generator for generating the LNA and VGA control signals. The scaling section compares the power value with a target value to perform scaling with a scaling coefficient according to the sign of the comparison value so that an increase of the tracking error is avoided, thus preventing phenomena where the AGC control oscillates without convergence, thereby making it possible to attain the optimum automatic gain control.
