    Abstract: A memory management method and a memory architecture for transmitting ultra-wideband (UWB) prioritized channel access (PCA) frames are provided. The method comprises the steps of assigning a pre-load queue to each of a plurality of access categories for storing UWB PCA frames to be transmitted, and, when one of the access categories gains transmission opportunity (TXOP), assigning a common area queue to that access category for storing UWB PCA frames to be transmitted. Moreover, when a UWB PCA frame in one of the pre-load queues reaches a predetermined size, the access category corresponding to the pre-load queue starts its backoff state machine in order to gain the TXOP.

    Abstract: A new ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection circuit with well-triggered PMOS is provided for application in power-rail ESD protection. A PMOS device is connected between the VDD and VSS power lines to sustain the ESD overstress current during the time that the ESD voltage is applied between the VDD and the VSS power lines. In deep submicron CMOS p-substrate technology, the weak point of ESD overstress control is typically associated with the NMOS device. For this reason, the invention uses a power-rail ESD clamp circuit that incorporates a PMOS device. Applying gate-coupled and N-well triggering techniques, the PMOS can be turned on more efficiently when the ESD overstress is present between the power lines. For p-substrate CMOS technology, it is difficult to couple a high voltage to the substrate of the NMOS device while high voltage is readily coupled to the N-well of a PMOS device. The proposed ESD clamp circuit can be applied efficiently to protect the ESD overstress between power rails.

    Abstract: A duplicate detection circuit for a receiver includes a CRC generator for generating a CRC value of frame header information, and a control circuit coupled to the CRC generator. The control circuit has a first output, a second output, and a control input. When the control input is not set, the control circuit outputs the CRC value at the first output. When the control input is set, the control circuit outputs the CRC value at the second output. A buffer has an input coupled to the first output of the control circuit. A compare circuit has an input coupled to an output of the buffer and another input coupled to the second output of the control circuit. The compare circuit compares a CRC value at the second output of the control circuit with a CRC value stored in the buffer, and outputs a duplicate indication when detecting a match.
