Abstract: An integrated circuit chip includes an interleaved analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an interleaving calibration circuit. The interleaved ADC includes a plurality of ADCs that are each configured to sample an analog signal. The interleaved ADC is configured to convert the analog signal into an interleaved analog-to-digital signal (IADC signal) that includes a plurality of spurious signals formed from mismatches between the plurality of ADCs. The interleaving calibration circuit is configured to receive the IADC signal from the interleaved ADC, generate a mismatch profile estimate corresponding to the plurality of spurious signals to generate one or more mismatch profile estimates, determine whether a first mismatch profile estimate is in a frequency band of interest, and, in response to a determination that the first mismatch profile estimate is in the frequency band of interest, generate a set of model parameters based on the first mismatch profile estimate.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for providing electrically isolated communications between two USB2 devices. Two isolating eUSB2 repeaters are utilized to implement a digital isolation barrier between the two USB2 devices. The isolating eUSB2 repeaters are configured to broker isolated communications between the two USB2 devices using a modified eUSB2 protocol that allows the two isolating eUSB2 repeaters to interoperate across the isolating barrier. The modified eUSB2 protocol allows the two isolating eUSB2 repeaters to broker isolating communications on behalf of the USB2 devices without the use of an accurate clock signal. The modified eUSB2 protocol utilized by the isolating eUSB2 repeaters is configured in particular to support certain end-of-packet translations between USB2 data and the modified eUSB2 protocol, management of certain USB2 bus state transitions and assignment of roles to the two isolating eUSB2 repeaters.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems for supporting coexistence of multiple technologies in a Power Line Communication (PLC) network are disclosed. A long coexistence preamble sequence may be transmitted by a device that has been forced to back off the PLC channel multiple times. The long coexistence sequence provides a way for the device to request channel access from devices on the channel using other technology. The device may transmit a data packet after transmitting the long coexistence preamble sequence. A network duty cycle time may also be defined as a maximum allowed duration for nodes of the same network to access the channel. When the network duty cycle time occurs, all nodes will back off the channel for a duty cycle extended inter frame space before transmitting again. The long coexistence preamble sequence and the network duty cycle time may be used together.

Abstract: A method of forming packaged semiconductor devices includes providing a lead frame sheet of flat no-lead lead frames having a semiconductor die on a die pad, terminals, and plastic encapsulation except on a back side of the sheet to provide an exposed thermal die pad and exposed back sides of the terminals. Partial sawing in saw lanes begins from the back side through the terminals terminating within the plastic encapsulation to provide exposed side walls of the terminals and of the plastic encapsulation. The exposed thermal pad and exposed back side of the terminals are all shorted together to form exposed electrically interconnected metal surfaces (interconnected surfaces). The interconnected surfaces are electroplated with a solder wetable metal or metal alloy plating layer. The interconnected surfaces are decoupled. A second sawing in the saw lanes finishes sawing through the plastic encapsulation to provide singulation, forming a plurality of packaged semiconductor devices.
