摘要： In some examples of both networks and methods, a data communication network includes a plurality of nodes. The nodes include a main node (MN) and at least one sub node (SNi=SN0, . . . SNX). Each node includes a node transceiver. The node transceiver is operable to perform data communication in accordance with a first network protocol for power over data via a pair of conductors (e.g., the conductors of bus). A physical layer includes a cable segment (e.g., the cable segment of bus) between each node. Each cable segment includes a plurality of pairs of conductors (e.g., pairs) and a connector (e.g., 8P8C connector—though other connectors with multiple pairs of conductors can be used) at each end. A first pair of the conductors (e.g., connected to pin 4 and pin 5 of the 8P8C connector) implements the first network protocol between the nodes. One or more of the remaining pairs of the conductors provide supplemental power to the nodes 102.

摘要： The trend in wireless communication receivers is to capture more and more bandwidth to support higher throughput, and to directly sample the radio frequency (RF) signal to enable re-configurability and lower cost. Other applications like instrumentation also demand the ability to digitize wide bandwidth RF signals. These applications benefit from input circuitry which can perform well with high speed, wide bandwidth RF signals. An input buffer and bootstrapped switch are designed to service such applications, and can be implemented in 28 nm complementary metal-oxide (CMOS) technology.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for control and calibration of external oscillators are provided herein. In certain embodiments, an electronic oscillator system includes a semiconductor die and a controllable oscillator that is external to the semiconductor die. The oscillation frequency of the controllable oscillator is tuned by a first varactor and a second varactor. The semiconductor die includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) that provides fine tuning to the controllable oscillator by controlling the first varactor, and a calibration circuit that provides coarse tuning to the controllable oscillator by controlling the second varactor.

摘要： Processes for using a capacitive sensor to control drug delivery are described. The capacitive sensor measures a capacitance across a pair of electrodes arranged along either side of a container. The container includes an air chamber, a fluid chamber, and a stopper separating the air chamber from the fluid chamber. A volume of drug in the fluid chamber may be determined based on the measured capacitance. The volume is compared to a target volume, and if the volume in the fluid chamber is greater than the target volume, a stopper actuator expels a portion of the drug from the fluid chamber.

摘要： An energy-efficient multiplication circuit uses analog multipliers and adders to reduce the distance that data has to move and the number of times that the data has to be moved when performing matrix multiplications in the analog domain. The multiplication circuit is tailored to bitwise multiply the innermost product of a rearranged matrix formula generate a matrix multiplication result in form of a current that is then digitized for further processing.

摘要： A multi-phase buck-boost converter circuit comprises a buck circuit stage, a boost circuit stage, and a control circuit. The buck circuit stage is connected to an input of the buck-boost converter circuit to receive an input voltage. The boost circuit stage includes multiple boost circuits connected in parallel. The boost circuit stage is coupled to the buck circuit stage and an output of the multi-phase buck-boost converter circuit. Each boost circuit includes an inductor coupled to the buck circuit stage. The control circuit operates the multiple boost circuit stages out of phase with respect to each other in a boost mode, operates the buck circuit stage in a buck mode, and operates the multiple boost circuit stages out of phase with respect to each other and operates the buck circuit stage in a buck-boost mode.

摘要： Herein disclosed in some embodiments is a fault detector for power amplifiers of a communication system. The fault detector can detect a portion of the power amplifiers that are in fault condition and can prevent or limit current flow to the power amplifiers in fault condition while allowing the rest of the power amplifiers to operate normally. The fault detector can further indicate which power amplifiers are in fault condition and/or the cause for the power amplifiers to be in fault condition. Based on the indication, a controller can direct communications away from the power amplifiers in fault condition and/or perform operations to correct the fault condition.

摘要： Described herein are techniques for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of a wireless sensor platform. The device that interrogates a wireless sensor node (an interrogator) may be configured to determine the quantity to be measured by extracting information from multiple echoes produced in response to multiple interrogation pulses or produced due to multi-path propagation. Although different echoes may have been transformed to different extents, the echoes may share unique characteristics that are specific to the wireless sensor node that produced them. Accordingly, the SNR may be improved by keeping only portions of the received signal that exhibit such characteristics. The SNR may be further improved by summing the echoes together. In some embodiments, the echoes may be summed together in a coherent fashion, thereby producing an echo having an amplitude greater than the amplitude of each of the received echoes.
