    摘要: A receiver circuit for use, for instance, in interchip data communication in the automotive sector comprises an envelope detector (M1, M2, RL1, CED) configured to receive (RX1) an on-off keying, OOK signal modulated over a RF carrier. A differential stage (121, 122, RL2) has a first input (VA) coupled to the envelope detector (M1, M2, RL1, CED) and a second input (VB) configured to receive a reference signal. A comparator (16) is coupled (14) to first (C) and second (D) output nodes of the differential stage (121, 122, RL2) produces a PWM-modulated signal (PWMOUT) having on and off times. Offset compensation circuitry comprises a first switch (S1,Φ1) to short-circuit the input to the envelope detector (M1, M2, RL1, CED), a storage capacitor (CH) coupled to the second input (VB) of the differential stage (121, 122, RL2) and a second switch (S1,Φ2) to feed back to the storage capacitor (CH) a signal (18) indicative of the difference between the first (C) and the second (D) output nodes of the differential stage (121, 122, RL2), and a third switch (S3,Φ1) to short-circuit the input to the comparator (16) . Logic circuitry (100) activates the offset compensation circuitry in a sequence of phases comprising a start-up phase (SUP) and at least one standby phase (STBY) wherein the first (S1,Φ1), second (S2,Φ2) and third (S3,Φ1) switches are made conductive in the absence of the PWM-modulated signal (PWMOUT), and a working phase (WP) alternating with the start-up phase (SUP) or the at least one standby phase (STBY) in the presence of the PWM-modulated signal (PWMOUT) wherein the first (S1,Φ1), second (S2,Φ2) and third (S3,Φ1) switches are made conductive during off times (T2) of the PWM-modulated signal (PWMOUT).

    摘要: The invention refers to a sensor arrangement (100) for sensing vibrations. The sensor arrangement (100) comprises a vibration sensor (10) configured to provide a sensor signal (101 and an amplifier unit (20) configured to amplify the sensor signal (101) over a predefined operation frequency band (61, 71) with a gain according to a first transfer function (60, 70) and to provide an analog amplifier output signal (102. The sensor arrangement further comprises an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, (30) configured to convert the amplifier output signal (102) into a first digital signal (103); and a digital compensation unit (40) configured to apply a second transfer function on the first digital signal (103), wherein the second transfer function is an inverse function of the first transfer function (60, 70). The operation frequency band (61, 71) comprises a low-frequency band (62, 72) and a high-frequency band (63, 73) and the gain of the predefined first transfer function (60, 70) is lower in the low-frequency band (62, 72) than in the high-frequency band (63, 73).
