    Abstract: A power consumption measurement method for operating an electronic component during an interval of time includes: logging power states that the component adopts during the interval, interrogating the log to determine the amount of time that the component spent in each power state during interval, and multiplying the rated power consumption for each state by the amount of time spent in each respective state. The power consumptions for each of the states are summed to determine a total power consumption of the component during the interval. Logging the power states may be achieved by counting command line instructions of different types, thus identify the beginning and end of each power state, during the interval. The method may be used to measure and/or benchmark the actual power consumption of a DDR RAM module. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.

    Abstract: There is described a multiple subscriber identity arrangement having a modem capable of receiving messages related to either one of at least two subscriber identities, but not simultaneously. The arrangement further comprises a control unit configured to, when the modem performs communication activity associated with a first subscriber identity: determine whether gaps not allocated for the communication activity associated with the first subscriber identity coincide with paging occasions associated with a second subscriber identity; and, if at least one gap not allocated for the communication activity associated with the first subscriber identity coincides with at least one paging occasion associated with the second subscriber identity, cause the modem to switch to the second subscriber identity to read one paging message on a paging channel associated with the second subscriber identity.

    Abstract: There is described Audio driver circuit comprising a main, 1-bit digital-to-analog converter, adapted to receive a 1-bit oversampled digital audio signal. Thanks to an auxiliary digital-to-analog converter which converts into the analog domain a digital offset compensation value stored in e.g. an OTP memory register 34, and to a summing and filtering arrangement, it is possible to reduce the offset cancellation granularity in order to compensate for the offset of the main digital-to-analog converter in the output signal.

    Abstract: An interference cancellation technique is implemented in a receiver adapted for determining an estimation of interferences when receiving an OFDM signal made of packets. Each packet includes a first training field, a second training field, a first header field, a second header field and a data field. The receiver detects a first symbol value of the first header field, and a second symbol value of the second header field, the first and the second header fields having been modulated using different modulation schemes. The estimation of interferences is determined using the first and the second symbol values.
