Abstract: This application discusses techniques for reducing the energy of an output ripple in a voltage converter at a switching frequency of the voltage converter. In certain examples, an amplitude of a reference voltage can be modulated with a time-varying random value or pseudo-random value to provide a reduction in the energy of the output ripple at the switching frequency of the voltage converter.

Abstract: A chip includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) and a test controller. The PLL includes an oscillator and a phase detector. In a normal mode, a first feedback loop includes a phase detector and an oscillator that generates an output based on a frequency input signal. In a test mode, the PLL is re-configured. The output of the loop filter can be decoupled from the input of the oscillator in the test mode and instead be coupled to the input of the phase detector. The oscillator can receive a test tuning signal provided by the test controller. In this test mode configuration, the PLL can measure the frequency of the oscillator.

Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to forming metallization structures for integrated circuit devices by plating, and more particularly to plating metallization structures that are thicker than masking layers used to define the metallization structures. In one aspect, a method of metallizing an integrated circuit device includes plating a first metal on a substrate in a first opening formed through a first masking layer, where the first opening defines a first region of the substrate, and plating a second metal on the substrate in a second opening formed through a second masking layer, where the second opening defines a second region of the substrate. The second opening is wider than the first opening and the second region encompasses the first region of the substrate.

Abstract: A gas sensor package is disclosed. The gas sensor package can include a housing defining a first chamber and a second chamber. An electrolyte can be provided in the first chamber. A gas inlet can provide fluid communication between the second chamber and the outside environs. The gas inlet can be configured to permit gas to enter the second chamber from the outside environs. An integrated device die can be mounted to the housing. The integrated device die can comprise a sensing element configured to detect the gas. The integrated device die can have a first side exposed to the first chamber and a second side exposed to the second chamber, with the first side opposite the second side.

Abstract: A microelectronic circuit having at least one component adjacent a carrier that is not a semiconductor or sapphire. The circuit includes a component bearing stack of one or more layers having one or more passive components, which are adjacent or bonded to the carrier. In certain embodiments, the circuit also includes an etch stop layer of a material having a slower etch rate than silicon and a bond layer bonding the carrier and the component bearing one or more layers.

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 charge injection compensation circuit compensates for charge injection by a field-effect transistor (FET) switch regardless of a supply voltage. The charge injection compensation circuit includes a main switch that injects charge into an electronic circuit when switched off, and a charge storage device that stores the injected charge until it can be dissipated to a dissipating node. Upon the main switch being controlled to switch off, a pulse generator circuit controls a charge storage switch to switch on to transfer the charge injected from the main switch to the charge storage device and then switch off. A dissipation circuit dissipates the charge from the charge storage device to a dissipating node.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to transmitting and/or receiving a frequency-shift keying signal including a packet that includes a preamble and a payload. The preamble has a first modulation index that has a smaller magnitude than a second modulation index of the payload. This can enhance frequency correction in a receive device that receives the packet.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automated analog fault injection including creating a list of fault models for injection to an analog circuit, adding a first fault placeholder to the analog circuit, running fault simulations by replacing the first fault placeholder with a first fault model from the list of fault models, and determining whether the first fault model is detected.

Abstract: Integrated digital isolators comprise a first transformer coil or capacitor plate mounted on an integrated circuit substrate, and separated from a second transformer coil or capacitor plate via an electrically insulating isolation layer. The electrical isolation that is achieved is dependent upon the material and thickness of the isolation layer. In order to reduce the amount of time required for fabrication while still allowing thick isolation layers to be deployed, in examples of the disclosure a pre-formed solid layer of dielectric material is bonded to the substrate over the first transformer coil or capacitive plate. The preformed solid layer is formed from a thick layer of solid dielectric material, which is ground to the required thickness, either prior to being bonded to the circuit substrate, or thereafter. Such techniques result in a thick isolation layer that is formed more quickly and with lower outgassing risk than conventional spin-coating or deposition techniques.
