A specific condition for enhancing the power generation efficiency of an oscillation type electromagnetic power generator is disclosed. Solenoid coils constituting the oscillation type electromagnetic power generator are wound in directions opposite to each other with a predetermined coil gap therebetween. Adjacent magnets of a movable magnet are connected to each other via a spacer having a predetermined thickness in such a manner that poles with the same polarity are opposed to each other. A coil pitch which is the total dimension of the coil length of one solenoid coil and the coil gap and a magnet pitch which is the total dimension of the magnet length of one magnet of the movable magnet and the thickness of the spacer are almost equal to each other, and the coil length is shorter than the magnet length.

Oscillation type electromagnetic power generator and method for manufacturing oscillation type electromagnetic power generator

A triggered DDS generator architecture accumulates a phase increment value in response to a DDS clock to generate phase accumulator values for addressing a waveform lookup table which contains a desired output signal. A time measurement circuit determines a time interval between the arrival of a trigger signal and a subsequent cycle of the DDS clock, which time interval is used to either adjust an initial phase accumulator value or delay the DDS clock so that a constant time is maintained between the arrival of the trigger signal and the desired output signal.

Triggered DDS pulse generator architecture

A driver circuit is provided, which has output characteristics capable of satisfying the DC and AC LVDS standards even if the power source and temperature fluctuate, has LVDS output characteristics, can reduce the number of outside components, and allows a dense package mounting. This driver circuit is constituted by connecting four NPN bipolar-type transistors and three resistors; four input signals are respectively input into base portions of these four NPN bipolar-type transistors; the first input signal and the second input signal have the same DC and AC levels but their phases are reversed, the third input signal and the fourth input signal have the same DC and AC levels but their phases are reversed; and the first input signal and the fourth input signal have the same phase, and the second input signal and the third input signal have the same phase.

Differential transmission driver circuit

A driver circuit of a light-emitting device that is able to reduce the current consumption. This circuit includes a reference current source for generating a reference current, a cascode current source circuit for generating a driving current for the light-emitting device with the use of the reference current, and an input circuit for switching the driving current according to a data signal. The cascode current source circuit has a first current mirror formed by first and second transistors and a second current mirror formed by third and fourth transistors. The first transistor is supplied with a first constant current proportional to the reference current, and controls the second transistor so that the driving current flows through the second transistor. The third transistor is supplied with a second constant current proportional to the reference current, and generates a mirror current with respect to the second constant current. The second mirror current flows through the second transistor as the driving current. The input circuit serves to turn on and off the fourth transistor according to the data signal, thereby controlling the output of the driving current to the light-emitting device.

Driver circuit of light-emitting device

A control circuit of a light-emitting device comprises a negative-feedback loop including a photodetector and a sample and hold circuit. The photodetector monitors an optical signal emitted by the light-emitting device and the sample and hold circuit generates a control signal supplied to a light-emitting device driver. The sample and hold circuit performs the sampling of a monitored signal each time the light-emitting device emits light and holds the sampled monitored signal. The voltage held in the sample and hold circuit is output as the control signal the light-emitting device driver. The light-emitting device driver drives the light-emitting device to switch on and off according to the input digital data with the output light intensity of the light-emitting device controlled by the control signal so as to be kept at a constant level.
