Abstract

See full text

A biased impedance circuit, an impedance adjustment circuit, and an associated signal generator are provided. The biased impedance circuit is coupled to a summation node and applies a biased impedance to the summation node. A periodic input signal is received at the summation node. The biased impedance circuit includes a switching circuit for receiving an output window signal, wherein a period of the output window signal is shorter than a period of the periodic input signal. The switching circuit includes a low impedance path and a high impedance path. The low impedance sets the biased impedance to a first impedance when the output window signal is at a first voltage level. The high impedance path sets the biased impedance to a second impedance when the output window signal is at a second voltage level. The first impedance is less than the second impedance.
