Abstract: An operating parameter method and circuitry are provided that generate operating parameter signals that are compensated for noise. Such operating parameter circuitry includes control loop circuitry that operates from a first power supply to provide an operating parameter signal to functional circuitry operating from a second power supply separate from the first power supply. The control loop circuitry comprises generator circuitry to generate the operating parameter signal based on an input signal. Replica generator circuitry operates from the second power supply to generate a further operating parameter signal based on the input signal. Adjustment circuitry performs a comparison on the operating parameter signal and the further operating parameter signal and causes an adjusted input signal to be produced in dependence on a result of the comparison. The adjusted input signal is received by the generator circuitry. Consequently, the generator circuitry is able to produce an operating parameter signal that has been compensated for noise in the circuit.

Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided with error detection circuitry and error repair circuitry. Error tolerance circuitry is responsive to a control parameter to selectively disable the error repair circuitry. The control parameter is dependent on the processing performed within the circuit. For example, the control parameter may be generated in dependence upon the program instruction being executed, the output signal value which is in error, the previous behavior of the circuit or in other ways.

Abstract: In one particular implementation, a circuit includes: a flip flop; and an AND gate, where the circuit is configured to generate edge-triggered set and reset input signals. In another implementation, a method includes: providing, by a digital locked loop (DLL), a plurality of phase outputs; determining, by respective logic circuits, respective pulses to be selected for an output clock corresponding to each of the plurality phase outputs; shifting respective selection windows of the pulses such that each of the selection windows fully overlap the corresponding respective determined pulses; and selecting the pulses.

Abstract: A method, system and surface covering for enabling wireless detection of damage to a structure is disclosed. At least one array having a plurality of nodes are coupled to a surface covering, such as at least one of a wall, ceiling and floor covering for a least a portion of the structure. An electronic reader is operable to wirelessly interrogate the array and read return signals from nodes in the array. The return signals contain data representing an ID for corresponding responsive nodes in the array, and the returned IDs are extracted and compared to a plurality of IDs stored in a data store for nodes in any given array. A mismatch between the returned and stored IDs for the nodes in the array indicates a structural defect in a respective portion of the structure overlaid by the floor/wall covering.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for detecting a resonant frequency giving rise to an impedance peak in a power delivery network used to provide a supply voltage. The apparatus includes resonant frequency detection circuitry that comprises test frequency control circuitry and a loading circuit. The test frequency control circuitry is arranged to generate control signals to indicate a sequence of test frequencies. A loading circuit is controlled by the control signals and operates from the supply voltage. In particular, in response to each test frequency indicated by the control signals, the loading circuit draws a duty-cycled current load through the power delivery network at that test frequency. Operation of the loading circuit produces a measurable property whose value varies in dependence on the supply voltage, thus enabling the resonant frequency to be determined from a variation in the value of that measurable property.
