The present invention provides a multi-input A/D converter circuit capable of shorting a conversion time without increasing its layout area and current consumption. When a most significant bit of a binary counter is "L", individual input signals are sampled by a sample and hold unit, and digital signals held in respective data holders are sequentially selected by a selector. When the most significant bit is brought to "H", the respective input signals are held as analog signals and compared with...

A multi-layer bus system includes an interconnect matrix, bus slaves, bus masters and a bus control circuit. The interconnect matrix has master connection ports and slave connection ports, and connects one of the master connection ports to one of the slave connection ports in response a control signal. The slaves are connected to the slave connection ports, respectively. The bus masters includes a priority bus master connected to one of the master connection ports and a non-priority bus master. ...

A memory-logics LSI device forms an input/output path for testing. A memory device has a memory input/output unit,which includes an input/output selector with test function. A test clock signal, which is directly supplied in the test mode, is used to selectively take in one of input signals and an output signal to output the signal. The output is monitored on an external pin, while changing the timing of the positive-going edge of the clock signal, or the input signals. Relative measurement is t...

The present invention is a multifunctional actuator including a magnetic circuit, a suspension that supports the magnetic circuit, a diaphragm positioned facing the magnetic circuit, and a voice coil that is mounted on the diaphragm and inserted in a circular air gap of the magnetic circuit, comprising a housing to accommodate the magnetic circuit, and a cover to cover an open end of the housing, wherein a sound release gap is formed between an outer periphery of the housing and a side wall of t...

There are provided two kinds of nuts of a ball thread nut 20 and a non-ball thread nut 30 which is rotatable in synchronization with the ball thread nut 20 and in which a thread groove in rectangular or trapezoidal shape in section is formed. In a thread rod 10, two kinds of thread grooves are formed at the same pitch, one 11 of the thread grooves being in an arc shape in section so as to be meshed with the ball thread nut 20 through balls B and the other thread groove 12 being in a rectangular ...

Operational amplifier circuitry drives a device which may be run with a combination of output signals fewer in number than the output signals delivered from plural output circuits. Each output circuit adjusts the gain of an input signal supplied to its operational amplifier. An output selector selects and outputs output signals from the output circuits necessary for driving the device. A decision circuit compares an output signal not selected with a reference signal to adjust the gain of the out...

The modem has an RF section developing an RSSI signal and a baseband signal converted from a received signal. A reference voltage output section feeds a reference voltage to a comparator. The comparator outputs, when the RSSI signal is higher in level than the reference voltage, a control signal to the RF section, an A/D converter and a demodulator of a receiver modem. The modem thus provides a data receiver capable of reducing power consumption in the entire system, while maintaining a reliable...

Plural wok pairs composed of a plurality of works are stored in work storing means. A movable sensor 45 fitted to a conveyance robot 5 detects the position of one of the work pairs in the work storing means, and the work gripping means 25 takes out a plurality of works at one time from the work storing means. One of the plurality of works is held temporally by temporal work holding means 6 or 7 while the other work is conveyed to a jig Y. In the course of conveyance, a fixed sensor 63 detects th...

In a friction spot joint structure, a first plate member is pressed against a second plate member by using a rotary tool and a receiving member. A concave portion is formed by a rotating pin portion of the rotating tool, with an interface between the first plate member and the second plate member remained. In this time, the first and second plate members are allowed to plastic-flow, so that an annular bulging portion of the second plate member raised into the first plate member is formed around ...

A wireless LAN system if formed by a base station, mobile stations and a controller. The controller receives a frame over wireless media, and a frame analyzer analyzes the received frame. A determination section determines whether or not the frame received at a predicted time based on the rule of frame for a service on a layer higher than a media access control layer is an intended frame based on results from the frame analyzer. A frame transmitter sends out a frame containing a field specifying...
