Abstract: Apparatus and methods provide predistortion for a phased array. Radio frequency (RF) sample signals from phased array elements are provided along return paths and are combined by a hardware RF combiner. Phase shifters are adjusted such that the RF sample signals are phase-aligned when combined. Adaptive adjustment of predistortion for the amplifiers of the phased array can be based on a signal derived from the combined RF sample signals.

Abstract: A transfer printing method is described that can be used for a wide variety of materials, such as to allow for circuits formed of different materials to be integrated together on a single integrated circuit. A tether (18) is formed on dice regions (16) of a first wafer (30), followed by attachment of a second wafer (32) to the tethers. The dice regions (16) are processed so as to be separated, followed by transfer printing of the dice regions to a third wafer (34).

Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to integrated circuit devices with wear out monitoring capability. An integrated circuit device includes a wear-out monitor device configured to record an indication of wear-out of a core circuit separated from the wear-out monitor device, wherein the indication is associated with localized diffusion of a diffusant within the wear-out monitor device in response to a wear-out stress that causes the wear-out of the core circuit.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to correcting for a phase shift between signals associated with an angle sensor and a multi-turn sensor that includes magnetoresistive elements. A processing circuit can determine a phase shift correction and generate position information based on at least the phase shift correction and a signal associated with the multi-turn sensor.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for improving reliability and/or reducing or preventing breakdown of an amplifier, specifically breakdown of a transistor of an amplifier, are disclosed. A protection circuit can be electrically coupled to the amplifier, and can be configured to reduce a voltage swing at the amplifier. The amplifier can include a first transistor, and the protection circuit can include a second transistor electrically coupled to a control terminal of the first transistor of the amplifier. When a power at a control terminal of the second transistor of the protection circuit satisfies a threshold power, the protection circuit can be configured to reduce a power at a power terminal of the first transistor the amplifier. By reducing the voltage at the power terminal of the first transistor the amplifier, the protection circuit can allow the amplifier to operate safely, without breakdown.

Abstract: A continuous-time sampler has series-connected delay lines with intermediate output taps between the delay lines. Signal from an output tap can be buffered by an optional voltage buffer for performance. A corresponding controlled switch is provided with each output tap to connect the output tap to an output of the continuous-time sampler. The delay lines store a continuous-time input signal waveform within the propagation delays. Controlling the switches corresponding to the output taps with pulses that match the propagation delays can yield a same input signal value at the output. The continuous-time sampler effectively “holds” or provides the input signal value at the output for further processing without requiring switched-capacitor circuits that sample the input signal value onto some capacitor. In some cases, the continuous-time sampler can be a recursively-connected delay line. The continuous-time sampler can be used as the front end sampler in a variety of analog-to-digital converters.
