摘要:
An overmolded pressure sensor package (200, 500, 600, 700, 800) is provided. The pressure sensor die (Pcell) (240, 640, 750, 850) is capped so that the Pcell has enhanced rigidity to withstand stress effects produced by the molding encapsulant (410, 510, 670, 780, 880). The Pcell cap (310, 640, 740, 840) includes a hole (330, 650, 745, 845) located away from the Pcell diaphragm (250, 635, 755, 855), so that external gas pressure can be experienced by the Pcell, while at the same time directing moisture away from the diaphragm. Gel does not need to be used, and instead a soft film can be deposited on the Pcell to protect the Pcell diaphragm from excess moisture, if needed. The Pcell cap can take the form of, for example, a dummy silicon wafer (310, 740) or a functional ASIC (640, 840).

A device (400) includes a Doherty amplifier. The Doherty amplifier has a carrier path (404) and a peaking path (406). The Doherty amplifier includes a carrier amplifier (410) configured to amplify a signal received from the carrier path and a peaking amplifier (412) configured to amplify a signal received from the peaking path. The device includes a resistive switch (422) having a first terminal connected to the peaking path and a second terminal connected to a voltage reference, and a controller (424, Fig. 7) configured to set the resistive switch to a first resistance value when a power input of the Doherty amplifier is below a threshold and to a second resistance value when the power input of the Doherty amplifier is above the threshold.

An advanced communication controller unit for a distributed communication system having a plurality of communication controller units, at least one being an advanced communication controller unit, each coupled to a communication medium and adapted to communicate using a communication is presented. The advanced communication controller unit comprises a protocol event recording circuit having a monitoring input connected to at least one protocol event data transmission path of the advanced communication controller unit and a debug output connected to a memory device; and adapted to filter protocol event data received from the monitoring input depending on at least one configuration parameter and to provide filtered protocol event data to the debug output. A method for recording protocol events using a protocol event recording circuit in an advanced communication controller unit and a vehicle comprising at least one advanced communication controller unit are also disclosed.

An embodiment of a plasma ignition system for an internal combustion engine having up to N cylinders includes a power splitter, N phase shifters, N amplifiers, a power combiner network, and up to N radiation devices. The power splitter divides an input RF signal into N divided RF signals. Each phase shifter applies one of multiple pre-determined phase shifts to one of the N divided RF signals to produce N phase shifted RF signals. The N amplifiers amplify the N phase shifted RF signals to produce N amplified, phase shifted RF signals. The power combiner network combines the N amplified, phase shifted RF signals to produce N output RF signals. Each of the radiation devices receives one of the N output RF signals, and produces a plasma discharge when a power level of the output RF signal is sufficiently high.

A method of making a semiconductor structure (100) uses a substrate (102) having a background doping of a first type. A gate structure has a gate dielectric (104) on the substrate and a select gate layer (106) on the gate dielectric. Implanting is performed into a first portion of the substrate adjacent to a first end with dopants of a second type. The implanting is prior to any dopants being implanted into the background doping of the first portion which becomes a first doped region of the second type. An NVM gate structure has a select gate (106), a storage layer having a first portion over the first doped region, and a control gate (208) over the storage layer. Implanting (304) at a non-vertical angle with dopants of the first type forms a deep doped region (306) under the select gate. Implanting with dopants of the second type forms a source/drain extension (404).
摘要:
A method of performing compression of image data for at least one image is described. The method comprises receiving image data of at least a part of the at least one image, encoding the received image data into at least one compressed data block, applying at least one bandwidth limit to the at least one compressed data block, and outputting the at least one bandwidth limited compressed data block to a buffer. The method further comprises dynamically updating the at least one bandwidth limit applied to the at least one compressed data block base at least party on a fill level of the buffer.
