    Abstract: A radar data processing system is disclosed. The system includes a microcontroller and a data receiver-transmitter integrated circuit coupled to the microcontroller. The data receiver-transmitter integrated circuit includes a sensor and a dedicated error indicator pin. The data receiver-transmitter integrated circuit includes an inner safety monitor and the microcontroller includes an outer safety monitor. The inner safety monitor configured to receive and collate sensor data from the plurality of sensors and send, through the dedicated error indicator pin, a function warning signal to the outer safety monitor when the sensor data from the sensor is indicative of a functional irregularity.

    Abstract: An apparatus for non-galvanic connection between two electrical circuits is described. A base-unit has an RF power source, a data link and an authentication controller. A contactless unit for communication with a base unit has an RF power receiver, a data link and an authentication controller. The base unit and contactless unit can form a non-galvanic connection to replace conventional connectors, for example in a USB wired bus connection.

    Abstract: The invention provides a testing circuit for testing a connection between a chip and external circuitry. A current source is used to inject a DC current towards the connection to be tested from the chip side. On-chip ESD protection is provided giving a path between the connection to be tested and a fixed voltage line. A shunt path is also coupled to the connection to be tested on the external circuitry side. It is determined if the current source current flows through the ESD protection circuit, and this can be used to determine whether or not the connection to be tested presents an open circuit for the DC test current.

    Abstract: A packaged integrated circuit (IC) includes an IC die having first and second external contacts and a package substrate. The IC die is attached to the package substrate which includes a balun in a first metal layer. The balun is connected to the first and second external contacts of the IC die and to a first external contact of the package substrate. The first and second external contacts of the IC die communicate a differential signal with the package substrate, and the first external contact of the package substrate communicates a single-ended signal corresponding to the differential signal. Alternatively, the balun is connected to an external contact of the IC die and to first and second external contacts of the package substrate, in which the external contact of the IC die communicates a single-ended signal and the first and second external contacts of the package substrate communicate a differential signal.

    Abstract: A frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system includes an antenna array having C antennas where (C=A+B−1), a first integrated circuit (IC) device including A first sensor inputs, and a second IC device including B second sensor inputs. The first sensor inputs are coupled to a first A of the antennas, and the second sensor inputs are coupled to a last B of the antennas such that a common one of the first sensor inputs and a common one of the second sensor inputs are both coupled to a common antenna. Each IC device receives reflected signals on each sensor input, and mixes the reflected signals to associated baseband signals based upon a local oscillator (LO) signal. Each LO signal has a different phase shift. The LO signals are based upon a common LO signal.
