The invention provides remote control methods and arrangements using pulse code modulation for transmission as in infrared remote control arrangements. A primary feature is that only one quartz oscillator is necessary and is used in the receiver part. The receiver measures the first pulse width transmitted and, dependent on that, defines the measure period of a control circuit. A further feature is that each remote control word is preceded by a prepulse and a postpulse with a threefold pulse width.

Remote control arrangement

A circuit arrangement for generating a pulse train having a predetermined first pulse spacing (a) and a second pulse spacing (b) differing from the first by an integral factor greater than one, which pulse spacings are assigned to the binary ZERO and the binary ONE, respectively, dependent upon a predetermined n-bit binary word.

Circuit arrangement for generating a binary-coded pulse train

This relates to an MOS power stage of a two-phase clock signal generator arranged on the same integrated circuit chip as the circuit to be driven. The generator consists of one MOSFET inverter, the output of which is multiplexed by the two clock signals. In this manner, power loss in the MOSFET is reduced.
