Method And Apparatus For Achieving Accurate Temperature-Invariant Sampling Frequencies In A Multiple Message Non-Volatile Multilevel Analog Signal Recording And Playback System

View page
US Patent:
6348842, Feb 19, 2002
Filed:
Oct 25, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/696564
Inventors:
Aditya Raina - San Jose CA
Peter J. Holzmann - Campbell CA
Geoffrey B. Jackson - Mountain View CA
Saleel V. Awsare - Redwood City CA
Assignee:
Winbond Electronics Corporation
International Classification:
H03L 102
US Classification:
331176, 331 74, 331 77, 331111, 331143
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for achieving accurate temperature-invariant sampling frequencies in a device, such as, a multiple message non-volatile multilevel analog signal recording and playback system is described. An oscillator is used to generate an oscillation frequency. A bandgap voltage generator generates a zero temperature coefficient voltage reference (V(OTC)) that is independent of temperature. This V(OTC) is applied to the oscillator. A variable temperature coefficient voltage (V(TC)) that compensates for temperature coefficient variations of a resistor to which V(TC) is applied produces a stable oscillator current Iosc. Therefore, the stable oscillator current Iosc is likewise independent of the temperature coefficient variations of the resistor. The stable oscillator current Iosc is applied to the oscillator such that the oscillator generates a stable temperature-invariant oscillation frequency. A digital divider is used to digitally divide the stable oscillation frequency by a predetermined amount to produce an accurate temperature-invariant sampling frequency.

Assignee:
Winbond Electronics Corporation
International Classification:
G10L013/00
G10L013/04
US Classification:
704258, 704260, 365 45
Abstract:
A text-to-speech conversion system that includes a first module to convert text into words, a second module to convert words into phonemes, a third module to map phonemes to sound units, and a storage unit to store speech representations for a library of sound units. The first, second, and third modules and the storage unit are implemented within a single integrated circuit to reduce size and cost. The system typically further includes a ROM to store the codes for the modules, a RAM to store the text and intermediate results, a processor to execute the codes for the modules, a control module to direct the operation of the first, second, and third modules. The storage unit may be implemented with a multi-level, non-volatile analog storage array and may be programmed with a new library of speech representations by a programming module.

Programmable Plain Old Telephone Line Impedance Matching Circuits

View page
US Patent:
7957522, Jun 7, 2011
Filed:
Nov 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/599681
Inventors:
Peter J. Holzmann - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Winbond Electronics Corporation - Hsinchu
International Classification:
H04M 1/00
US Classification:
379394, 379398
Abstract:
Programmable plain old telephone line impedance matching circuits that provide an accurate, integrated programmable termination and source impedance for a telephone line interface circuit (SLIC). The accurate matching of this programmable termination and source impedance with the termination impedance of the 2 Wire connection eliminates signal reflections on this connection and therefore removes the echo, which echo can lead to reduced signal quality in packetized VOIP systems. The programmable integrated impedance matching circuits of this invention use a programmable time continuous amplifier preferably in combination with a double sampling programmable switched capacitor feedback stage (sampling twice per clock cycle by sampling on the positive and negative phases of a non-overlapping clock cycle). Use of a switched capacitor circuit to synthesize a resistance allows the realization of the relatively long time constants needed, generally, thereby allowing the realization of the present invention programmable impedance matching circuit as an integrated circuit without external discrete resistors or capacitors.
