Abstract
Amplitude control circuitry 5000 includes a first register 5001 for storing received amplitude control data and a second register 5002 for storing amplitude control data transfered from first register 5001. Output circuitry 5005, 5006, 5007 controls the amplitude of a received signal in response to amplitude data transferred from second register. A sensor 5003 determines when data stored in first register 5001 and second register 5002 does not match and enables a comparator 5004 when data in first register 5001 and, second register 5002 does not match. Comparator 5004 compares a signal output from output circuitry 5005, 5006, 5007 with a reference signal and generates a signal for enabling the transfer of data from first register 5001 to second register 5002 when the signal output from output circuitry 5005, 5006, 5007 falls within a window defined by the reference voltage.
