Abstract:
An apparatus includes a dynamically configurable transformer configured to provide a gain to a target signal. The gain is dynamically configurable. The dynamically configurable transformer includes at least one parallel resistive element configured to be dynamically activated in parallel with a load.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided to calibrate an oscillator circuit to reduce frequency pulling as a result of a change in power to a portion of the oscillator circuit. In an embodiment, an oscillator is coupled to a clock buffer circuit and a tuning capacitor configured to tune a frequency of the oscillator to a baseline frequency required for cellular communications. A change in power to the clock buffer circuit initiates a change in an amount of capacitance seen by the oscillator, which negatively impacts the tuning of the oscillator. A register stores a frequency offset caused by the change in power, and the tuning capacitor is adjusted, using the frequency offset, in response to the change in power, such that the total amount of capacitance seen by the oscillator is not changed when the change in power occurs.
