摘要: A driver circuit includes two pull-up portions coupled respectively between VDD and first and second driver output nodes and two pull-down sections coupled respectively between ground and third and fourth driver output nodes. The driver circuit is configurable as an RS485 driver or a CAN driver. The active diodes in the pull-up sections are turned off when necessary to prevent unwanted reverse currents between the first and second output nodes and VDD. The active diodes in the pull-down sections are turned off when necessary to prevent unwanted reverse current between ground and the third and fourth output nodes.

摘要: In one form, a signal generator system such as a power amplifier system includes an amplification stage, a lowpass filter, and a controller. The amplification stage includes a first amplifier having an input for receiving an input signal, a control input for receiving a first control signal, and an output. The lowpass filter has a first input coupled to the output of the first amplifier, and an output. The controller has a first input coupled to the output of the lowpass filter, and a first output coupled to the control input of the first amplifier, wherein the controller varies the first control signal to reduce a difference between the output of the lowpass filter and a first target voltage level.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to use angle of arrival (AoA) of a signal transmitted between two Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless devices to initially authenticate a connection between the two BLE devices. In one example, bonding or pairing with a first BLE device may be restricted to only those other BLE devices having an antenna currently positioned to transmit a signal to the first BLE device from an allowed direction and within a predefined permitted range of AoA relative to the first BLE device.

摘要: A clock generator includes an oscillator configured to generate an oscillating signal and a signal path configured to provide an output clock signal based on the oscillating signal. In response to a control signal, the clock generator is configured to neutralize periodic phase perturbations in the oscillating signal using opposing periodic phase perturbations. The neutralization may occur in the signal path. The signal path may be responsive to the control signal to adjust at least one of a duty cycle, a rise time, and a fall time of the output clock signal to cause alternating phase perturbations of the periodic phase perturbations to apply as the opposing periodic phase perturbations in the output clock signal. The neutralization may occur in the oscillator. The clock generator may include an auxiliary path configured to provide an auxiliary signal to the oscillator.

摘要: A temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) includes a crystal oscillator and a temperature sensor to provide a sensed temperature. A delay circuit has a selectable delay to delay the frequency compensation based on the sensed temperature. The delay compensates for a difference between when the temperature sensor reflects a change in temperature and when a frequency of a signal supplied by the crystal oscillator is affected by the change in temperature. The delay may be static or dynamic with respect to the current temperature sensed by the temperature sensor.

摘要: An apparatus includes a digital phase-locked loop (DPLL). The DPLL includes a digital phase and frequency detector coupled to receive a reference signal and to generate a first set of output signals, and a digital loop filter that receives the first set of output signals of the phase and frequency detector output and generates an integral path control signal and a proportional path control signal. The DPLL further includes a digital to analog converter (DAC) to convert the integral path control signal and the proportional path control signal to a second set of output signals. The DPLL in addition includes a controlled oscillator (CO) to generate an output signal in response to the second set of output signals.

摘要: A system and method of utilizing ECC memory to detect software errors and malicious activities is disclosed. In one embodiment, after a pool of memory is freed, every data word in that pool is modified to ensure that an ECC error will occur if any data word in that pool is read again. In another embodiment, the ECC memory controller is used to detect and prevent non-secure applications from accessing secure portions of memory.

摘要: A state retention circuit for retaining the state of a data storage element during a power reduction mode including a storage latch and a retention latch both powered by retention supply voltage that remains energized during a power reduction mode. The storage latch and the retention latch are both coupled to a retention node that is toggled from between first and second states before entering the power reduction mode so that the storage latch latches the state of the data storage element. The retention latch includes a retention transistor and a retention inverter powered by the retention supply voltage. The retention transistor is overpowered when the retention node is pulled to the second state in which the retention inverter quickly turns off the retention transistor. When the retention node is toggled back to the first state, the retention inverter keeps the retention transistor turned on during the power reduction mode.

摘要: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for an antenna-based detection method and system for sensing an environmental change condition. The method and system is adapted such that the states comprising the environmental change condition are capable of being determined at the location of the detection point utilizing only the magnitude component of the antenna impedance as altered by the discrete change in the environmental condition.
