| 20080204100 | Logic circuit - For example, a gain control part and a common node control part are provided in a logic circuit including a data acquisition part that has a differential amplifier configuration and acquires a data input signal when a click signal is an “H” level and a latch part that latches a data output signal from the data acquisition part when the click signal is an “L” level. The gain control part is provided between common nodes of NMOS transistors in the differential amplifier and serves to make the gain of the differential amplifier higher in a high frequency band than in a low frequency band. When the clock signal is an “L” level, the common node control part serves to control an electrical charge so as to eliminate a potential difference between the common nodes. Thus, the transition time of the data output signal is speeded up and the setup margin is increased in the latch part. The above described technique can therefore speed up operations of various logic circuits such as a latch circuit. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20090207957 | Clock recovery circuit - A clock recovery circuit capable of simultaneously satisfying all of a bit synchronization period, a clock wander tracking performance, and a high high-frequency jitter tolerance. The clock recovery circuit includes: a phase difference detecting circuit that detects a phase difference between an input data signal and a recovery clock; an averaging circuit that averages the output of the phase difference detecting circuit; a sampling and holding circuit with resetting that samples and holds the output of the phase difference detecting circuit; and a recovery clock generating circuit that generates a recovery clock having a phase corresponding to the sum of the integral value of the output of the averaging circuit and the output of the sampling and holding circuit with resetting. The sampling and holding circuit with resetting receives a burst transmission start signal and samples and holds the output of the phase difference detecting. In addition, the sampling and holding circuit with resetting receives a burst transmission end signal and resets the held value to an initial value. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090232265 | Clock data recovery circuit - A clock data recovery circuit that supplies stable reproduction clocks to the object respectively by shortening the time of bit synchronization with each received burst data signal regardless of jittering components included in the received burst data signal, includes an interpolator that generates a reference clock having the same frequency as that of a received burst data signal and two types of determination clocks having a phase that is different from that of the reference clock respectively; and a phase adjustment control circuit that can change the phase of the reference clock in units of M/2π. After beginning receiving of a burst data signal, the clock data recovery circuit sets a large phase change value at the first phase adjustment timing and reduces the change value in the second and subsequent phase adjustment timings, thereby realizing quick bit synchronization with the received burst data signal to generate a reproduction clock. | 09-17-2009 |
