| 20110268451 | CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING TMDS ENCODED SIGNALS - For providing circuit arrangement and method for transmitting signals from a data source to a data sink, the signals being TMDS encoded, the driver circuit is supplied by a connection interface, connected upstream, assigned to data source, with supply voltage, electrical TMDS encoded signals are electro-optically converted by an LED connected downstream of the driver circuit and coupled into an optical fiber as light supplied with TMDS encoded signals, the direct current portion supplied from TMDS transmitter to connection interface, to data source, is converted by driver circuit to a modulated signal current for controlling LED. Light supplied with TMDS encoded signals decoupled out from optical fiber by light-absorbing element, opto-electrically converted and supplied to transimpedance converter circuit connected downstream of light-absorbing element and upstream of connection interface assigned to data sink, transimpedance converter circuit being supplied by direct voltage portion being applied to differential pair of wires. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110121742 | CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING LIGHT EMITTING COMPONENTS - In order to further develop a circuit arrangement and a method for controlling at least one light emitting component, to which a threshold current is applied, with the circuit arrangement being supplied with voltage by means of at least one supply element, and with the light emitting component being controlled by means of at least one switching element arranged between at least one current limiting element and the light emitting component using at least one switching controller, in such a way that the power efficiency is significantly increased in comparison to prior art, it is proposed that a maximum value of the current is provided by means of the current limiting element, and that the logical “1” of the data to be transmitted by means of the light emitting component is represented by periodic switching between the zero value of the current and the maximum value of the current supplied to the light emitting component. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110080765 | PROGRAMMABLE ANTIFUSE TRANSISTOR AND METHOD FOR PROGRAMMING THEREOF - Programmable antifuse transistor, in particular n-channel MOS transistor, and a method for programming at least one such antifuse transistor, includes at least one gate with a gate terminal, source with a source terminal, drain with a drain terminal, and substrate with a substrate terminal, configured so that active circuits/circuit elements do not have to be located at a distance from the antifuse, minimizing area requirements, without additional process steps the level of the potential difference between source terminal and substrate terminal is less than about 0.5 volts, drain terminal and source terminal lie at different potentials. By adjusting drain-source voltage and/or the gate-source voltage a flow of charge carriers occurs between source and drain, causing semiconductor material between source and drain to be thermally heated and to locally melt, forming at least one permanently conducting channel between source and drain. | 04-07-2011 |
