A capacitance multiplier is designed to make a capacitor function like a capacitor that is much larger. This can be achieved in at least two ways. Capacitor multipliers make low-frequency filter and long-duration timing circuits possible that would be impractical with actual capacitors. Another application is in DC power supplies where very low ripple voltage (under load) is of paramount importance, such as in class-A amplifiers.
System and method for varying low audio frequencies inversely with audio signal level
InactiveUS7016509B1Increase contentEasy to removeCombination control in untuned amplifierAutomatic tone/bandwidth controlCapacitanceResistance capacitance
The present invention relates to an auto loudness circuit for performing loudness compensation automatically depending on the signal level. When the signal level decreases, loudness compensation is slowly introduced and as the signal level increases, loudness compensation is quickly removed. To do so, the auto loudness circuit utilizes a filter circuit with the characteristic of a first order bass boost. The filter circuit maintains a corner frequency which is proportional to the inverse of audio level in order to mimic the Fletcher-Munson curves. Because the circuit employs a capacitance-multiplier with a first order resistance capacitance filter, the bass boost is inversely proportional to the signal level. Thus, bass boost is achieved automatically as the program content changes so that the listener is unaware of significant changes in program material as signal levels change either through increase or decrease in volume, crescendo or new material.

PLL employing a sample-based capacitance multiplier
A phase detector (PD) generates an up / down signal based on the phase error between data and clock signals input to the phase detector. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) generates the clock signal. The up / down signal is applied to a proportional charge pump and a truncated version of the up / down signal is applied to an integral charge pump. The proportional charge pump generates a first voltage for a first time period across a resistor based on the up / down signal, while the integral charge pump generates a second voltage for a second time period across a capacitor based upon the truncated version of the up / down signal and the sampling rate of the data signal by the PD. The second time period is less than the first time period. The first and second voltages are combined and applied to the VCO to drive the clock signal to synchronization with the data.
