US Patent:
6850096, Feb 1, 2005
Filed:
May 9, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/435076
Inventors:
Yoshio Nishida - Raleigh NC, US
Wentai Liu - Santa Cruz CA, US
International Classification:
G01R 1900
US Classification:
327 53, 327 56
Abstract:
A circuit includes a first pre-amp circuit that provides a first pre-amp current and a second pre-amp circuit that provides a second pre-amp current. A first threshold circuit is configured to generate a first output signal responsive to a difference between a variable current and the first pre-amp current. A second threshold circuit is configured to generate a second output signal responsive to a difference between the variable current and the second pre-amp current. One of the branches of a differential interpolation circuit includes a first transistor that is connected in a current mirror configuration with the first pre-amp circuit. The first transistor has a width/length ratio equal to the product nk, where n
