    Abstract: Circuits and methods for reducing power consumption in a half-duplex transceiver are disclosed. In an embodiment, a power management circuit of half-duplex transceiver includes direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter and snooze mode controller. The DC-DC converter includes switching circuit and driver circuit to drive the switching circuit. The DC-DC converter provides power supply to at least one element of a transmitter sub-system of the half-duplex transceiver, and operates in snooze control modes. The snooze mode controller is coupled to the DC-DC converter and configured to generate a control signal based on at least one transceiver operating input, where the control signal causes the DC-DC converter to operate in one of the snooze control modes, the snooze control modes corresponding to snooze duty cycles and where in each snooze control mode, the switching circuit and the driver circuit remain in an OFF-state based on a respective snooze duty cycle.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit device is provided. In some examples, the integrated circuit device includes an amplifier stage that receives an input signal and a control signal and provides an amplified signal in response. A main path is coupled to the amplifier stage that receives the amplified signal and provides a first feedback signal corresponding to a signal strength of a data-bearing portion of the input signal. A control path also receives the amplified signal and provides a second feedback signal corresponding to a signal strength of the data-bearing portion and an interference component. A gain control circuit is coupled to the main path and the control path that receives the first and second feedback signals and provides the control signal in response to the feedback signals. In some such examples, the control path and main path include separate mixer stages with different performance characteristics.

    Abstract: Two hysteresis levels, a high level and a low level, may be used to set a period (and the switching frequency) of the output voltage of a DC-DC converter, as well as the output ripple of the converter. These two thresholds may be changed using pairs of switches. By controlling the sequence and the duration of the on-time of the switches, spectral spurs in the output can be controlled and the amplitude and the frequency band of interest can be reduced. Additional spur reduction may be possible by randomizing the control of the switches.
