PURPOSE:To generate a pulse signal with prescribed pulse width by a small number of constituent elements by providing a frequency dividing circuit wherein frequency dividing stages dividing the frequency of the output of an oscillation source are cascaded. CONSTITUTION:An input from an oscillator 1 is connected via an inverter 2 to the initial stage B1 of a frequency dividing circuit 3 wherein frequency dividing stages B1-Bn dividing the frequency of the input by two are cascaded and also supplied to the frequency dividing stage B1 through an inverter 4. Then, connecting input terminals 13a and 13b of an output circuit 9 to the output of a prescribed frequency dividing stage obtain a pulse signal having a prescribed frequency. Further, the pulse width of the output pulse signal is reduced by a latch circuit 15. A pulse output appearing at the output terminal 21 of the latch circuit 15 is supplied to the input terminal 13a of the output circuit 9, and the Q output of the frequency dividing stage B5 is supplied to the input terminal 13b. Consequently, a pulse signal with prescribed pulse width appears at the output of an NOR circuit 10. This constitution generates the pulse signal having the prescribed pulse width by a small number of constituent elements. | ||||||
102 | Clock supplying system | JP671180 | 1980-01-22 | JPS56103386A | 1981-08-18 | SHIYUUTOU SEIJI |
PURPOSE:To enable one unit of clock system to be changed over to other clock system immediately when the former goes out of order by doubling the clock systems, supplying clocks simultaneously and concentrically and mutually monitoring these. CONSTITUTION:Normally, the clock CL is supplied to a system from the 1st clock system 13. When a trouble occurs in the oscillation circuit 1 in the 1st clock system 13 or in the associated parts such as a frequency dividing circuit 2 and AND circuit 7, this is detected with the 2nd monitoring circuit 4 or the 1st monitoring circuit 3, and the automatic selecting circuit 5 and the 1st AND circuit 7 in the 2nd clock system 14 are operated, so that the clock CL is supplied from the 2nd clock system 14 to the system and at the same time an alarm signal ANN is emitted from a timer 6. Further when the 2nd clock system 12 goes out of order as well, the supply of the clock to the system is stopped and the alarm signal ANN is emitted from a timer 16. | ||||||

Power is conserved in a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver by shutting down selected components during periods when the GPS receiver is not actively calculating the GPS receiver location. A low power time keeping circuit accurately preserves GPS time when the selected components are deactivated. When the selected components are turned on in response to a wake-up command, time provided from the low power time keeping circuit, corrected for actual operating temperatures, and data from the GPS clock temperature/frequency table, are used to recalibrate time from a GPS oscillator. Positions of the GPS satellites are then estimated such that the real GPS time is quickly determined from the received satellite signals. Once real GPS time is determined from the detected satellite signals, the selected components are deactivated. The process described above is repeated such that accurate GPS time is maintained by the low power time keeping circuit. | ||||||

114 | Continuous time interpolator | EP92307364.7 | 1992-08-12 | EP0529875A3 | 1993-12-01 | Stephenson, Paul |
A digital time interpolation system and method for quantizing the time-difference between two digital signals. The present invention measures the time-difference between consecutive zero crossings of a user signal and a reference oscillator (316). The present invention outputs interpolator data, which represents this time-difference in digital form. The present invention includes a quadrature hybrid (305), a synchronizer (304), track-and-holds (T&Hs) (306), analog-to-digital converters (ADC) (308), an encoding circuit (312), and a boundary detector (310). The present invention also includes a system for deskewing the recorded coarse time count and the fine time value. According to the present invention, the reference oscillator (316) is a continuous, two-phase signal having a unique pair of output values at any given instant of its period. By using this reference oscillator (316), the present invention accelerates conversion. The present invention uses a novel boundary detection scheme. By using this boundary detection scheme, the present invention avoids the timing errors which are traditionally introduced by measuring synchronizer outputs directly. |

A method and apparatus for measuring an elapsed time from a starting signal to an ending signal in a time-to-digital converter. Primarily, the invention calculates an amount of complete cycles from the starting signal to a starting edge of a next clock cycle or the next Nth clock cycle (N is a natural number great than one) after the clock cycle corresponding to the ending signal. The amount is multiplied by a cycle time of the coarse clock to obtain a coarse time value. A time residue is calculated from the ending signal to the starting edge. Finally, the time residue is subtracted from the coarse time value to obtain a required time. | ||||||
