Abstract: A transceiver suitable for larger scale of integration employs direct conversion reception for reducing the number of filters. Also, the number of VCOs is reduced by utilizing dividers to supply a receiver and a transmitter with locally oscillated signals at an RF band. Dividers each having a fixed division ratio are used for generating locally oscillated signals for the receiver, while a divider having a switchable division ratio are used for generating the locally oscillated signal for the transmitter. In addition, a variable gain amplifier for baseband signal is provided with a DC offset voltage detector and a DC offset canceling circuit for supporting high speed data communications to accomplish fast cancellation of a DC offset by eliminating intervention of a filter within a feedback loop for offset cancellation.

Abstract: According to the present invention, the voltage of a battery is supplied to an electronic circuit such as a watch circuit through a step down circuit which is constructed of capacitors and switching MIDFETs. The step down circuit performs a current converting operation as well as a voltage converting operation. The operating current of the electronic circuit is reduced by the reduction in the operating voltage of the same. As a result that the operating current level of the electronic circuit is dropped and that the current conversion is performed by the step down circuit, the battery current is relatively largely dropped. The construction thus far described elongates the lifetime of the battery. According to the present invention, therefore, there is provided a circuit which is proper for driving the step down circuit.
