An Electrical Fast Transient/Burst (EFT/B) detection and recovery system for a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device. The system includes a USB core and a burst controller. The USB core provides serial communications with a host device through a USB data channel. The burst controller is coupled to the USB core. The burst controller detects an EFT/B event and automatically reconnects the USB core to the host device in response to recognition of a suspend state of the USB core by the host device.

An optical navigation system and method of controlling the light output power of the system uses an optical feedback system to control the driving signal being applied to a light source of the optical navigation system.

A system and method for demodulating amplitude modulated input signals uses two comparators and a charge pump circuit, which is positioned between the two comparators, to produce a demodulated signal of an amplitude modulated input signal. The two comparators and the charge pump circuit form a demodulating unit that may be a part of an infrared remote control receiver. The first comparator converts the input signal from a waveform to a pulse form. The charge pump circuit then converts the pulse signal into an integrated signal in a triangular pulse form. The second comparator converts the integrated signal from a triangular pulse form to a rectangular pulse form to produce the demodulated signal.

An optical receiver has a voltage supply, a first node, and a second node. A first input of a differential amplifier is coupled to the first node and a second input of the differential amplifier is coupled to the second node. A photodetector is coupled between the voltage supply and the first node, which produces a photodetector capacitance. A programmable variable capacitor having a capacitance selectively matched to the photodetector capacitance is coupled between the voltage supply and the second node.

A fast-settling digital automatic gain control circuit comprises first and second gain-controllable amplifiers in series. Each amplifier can be digitally switched between minimum and maximum gains by control logic that receives inputs from a multi-level voltage comparator. A peak detector connected to the output of the first gain-controlled amplifier is used to set the overall operating ranges for several threshold detectors. Four reference voltages are generated from the peak detector. The highest reference voltage is used to clock and reset the gain control logic with a hysteresis comparator to the instantaneous input signal from the first gain-controlled amplifier. The three other lower reference voltages are used to provide three-bits of digital input data to the gain control logic. Two digital controls are output, a min/max gain bit for the first gain-controlled amplifier, and a similar min/max gain bit for the second gain-controlled amplifier.

A circuit has a voltage source, a node, a photodetector electrically coupled between the voltage source and the node, a resistor electrically coupled between the node and ground, and a voltage clamp electrically connected to the node, the voltage clamp configured to maintain a reverse bias of the photodetector above a predetermined level.
