    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to set-reset (SR) latch circuits and methods for manufacturing the same. In some of the disclosed examples, a SR latch circuit includes an inverter storage loop for storing state information and a set of p-channel field-effect transistors (PFETs) for control circuitry. The PFETs may include first and second PFETs connected to a first node of the inverter storage loop, and third and fourth PFETs connected to a second node of the inverter storage loop. Gate terminals of the first and fourth PFETs may be connected to a first control input, and gate terminals of the second and third PFETs may be connected to a second control input.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit. The pipelined ADC circuit comprises a plurality of stages. Each stage comprises a differential input configured to receive a differential signal, a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) electrically coupled to the input configured to stack voltages of a set of capacitors; a comparator electrically disposed after the MDAC to compare the differential voltages; and a source follower buffer electrically coupled to the first signal line and the second signal line and electrically disposed after the comparator, wherein the MDAC is configured to amplify an output voltage using passive multiplication; and an alignment circuit communicatively connected to a digital bit output of each stage of the plurality of stages, wherein the alignment circuit is configured to delay a digital bit output of each stage for one or more clock cycles and output a digitized representation of a sampled differential signal.

    Abstract: Apparatus, methods and systems to produce a protection voltage are disclosed. The apparatus includes circuitry to deliver a first supply voltage to a plurality of circuits, where the first supply voltage has a first magnitude, circuitry to deliver a second supply voltage to a part of the plurality of circuits, where the second supply voltage has a second magnitude, and circuitry to deliver a protection voltage to the part of the plurality of circuits when the second supply voltage is LOW and the first supply voltage is HIGH. The protection voltage has a magnitude that is a fraction of the magnitude of the first supply voltage. The apparatus includes circuitry that causes the delivery of the second supply voltage to the part of the plurality of circuits when the second supply voltage is turned HIGH subsequent to the second supply voltage being LOW when the first supply voltage is HIGH.

    Abstract: A frontend circuit of a time-interleaved ADC is provided. The frontend circuit can include a track-and-hold circuit to sample an analog input signal to the ADC, a sub-ADC circuit to convert the sampled analog input signal to a digital output signal, and a source-follower circuit. An input of the source-follower circuit can be coupled to an output of the track-and-hold circuit, and an output of the source-follower circuit can be coupled to an input of the sub-ADC circuit. The source-follower circuit is to provide buffering between the track-and-hold circuit and the sub-ADC circuit. The circuit further includes a common-mode-adjusting circuit to dynamically adjust common-mode settings of the time-interleaved ADC. While adjusting the common-mode settings, the common-mode-adjusting circuit can adjust, separately, an input common-mode voltage of the track-and-hold circuit and an input common-mode voltage of the sub-ADC circuit based on current Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) conditions.
