1279315 Pulse modulation circuits ALLENBRADLEY CO 22 July 1969 [16 Aug 1968] 36680/69 Heading H4L A pulse width modulation to amplitude modulation converter circuit comprises an operational amplifier (the output voltage of which is regulated by negative feedback to the input voltage) and driving circuit means connected thereto. The driving circuit means includes input transistor means which is maintained in saturation by bias means in the absence of input width modulated pulses, when a substantially infinite impedance is presented to the operational amplifier. As described, incoming pulses are applied at either a terminal 14 (if negative-going) or at a terminal 16 (if positivegoing) of an input circuit 10. Said terminals are connected through respective resistors 18, 20 to the bases of respective complementary type transistors 22, 24, whose emitters are grounded, and whose collectors are connected to the bases of respective transistors, 50, 52. Operating voltages of magnitudes Œ(E 1 + E B ) are applied through respective resistors 26, 28 to the bases of the transistors 22, 24 and through respective resistors 34, 36 to the collectors thereof, and to the bases of the transistors 50, 52. Operating voltages of magnitudes ŒE 1 , are applied directly to the collectors of the transistors 50, 52. The emitters of the said transistors are connected through respective resistors 38, 40 to the positive input terminal of a D.C. amplifier 12. Said amplifier is arranged as a converter from pulses of varying widths to an analogue signal of varying amplitudes, and it has a feedback capacitor/ resistor circuit 44, 46. The operating voltages are such that, with no input at either of the terminals 14, 16 the transistors 22, 24 are saturated and, consequently, the transistors 50, 52 are cut off, so that an infinite impedance is presented to the input of the amplifier 12. When a signal is received at the terminal 14 or at the terminal 16, the respective transistor 22 or 24 is driven out of saturation, and the respective associated transistor 50 or 52 drives the amplifier 12. |
