    Abstract: Described is an I3C Repeater. The I3C Repeater may have a first circuitry with an I3C interface, a second circuitry with an I2C interface, and a datapath circuitry coupled to the first circuitry and the second circuitry. The second circuitry may be operable to convert a transaction received on the I2C interface into a transaction for the I3C interface, and to convert a transaction received on the I3C interface into a transaction for the I2C interface. The I3C Repeater may also have additional circuitries operable to convert transactions received on one of an SPI interface, a UART interface, and a Debug bus interface into transactions for the I3C interface, and vice-versa.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods associated with voltage tolerant termination presence detection for universal serial bus type-C connectors are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus to enable voltage tolerant termination presence detection may include sensor circuitry to determine whether a device coupled to the sensor circuitry is to operate in host mode or device mode based on a signal on a configuration channel between the device and the sensor circuitry. In embodiments, the apparatus may further include termination circuitry to bias the configuration channel in accordance with the host mode or the device mode based on the determination of whether the device is to operate in the host mode or the device mode. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for an apparatus for mitigating interference in sensor signals. In one instance, the apparatus may include sensors and a processing block couplable with the sensors. The processing block may include a front end block to receive sensor signals, and tunable filter block to filter the sensor signals. The apparatus may further include a correction block. The correction block may include a replica of the front end block, and may be configured to receive interference information. A controller may operate the correction block to adjust the tunable filter block, based on interference information, and connect the sensors with the processing block after adjustment. The controller may operate the processing block, in response to connection of the processing block with the sensors, to initiate processing of sensor signals filtered by the filter block, to mitigate interference. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to methods, systems and apparatus for dynamic temperature aware functional safety. The disclosed embodiments provide adaptive techniques to track extended dynamic temperature range of a System-on-Chip (SOC) and automatically tune critical IP components of the SOC so that system can operate reliably even at high temperatures. The disclosed embodiments relax the overdesign of the SOC components by reusing existing components such as a ring oscillator to determine temperature at different regions of the SOC. In one embodiment, the disclosed principles use a Calibrated Ring Oscillator (CRO) temperature sensors. The CRO-based temperature sensors provide fast temperature measurement suitable for detecting dynamic temperature ranges and temperature rate of change. The CROs are existing on the SOC and do not require addition of additional sensors.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for exchanging debug information with a repeater and multiplex logic of a platform. In an embodiment, the multiplex logic can be configured to any of multiple modes including a first mode to exchange debug information between the repeater and debug client logic of the platform. Another of the multiple modes may provide an alternate communication path for exchanging functional data, other than any debug information, between the repeater and a physical layer interface of the platform. In another embodiment, the repeater is compatible with a repeater architecture identified by a universal serial bus standard. The physical layer interface is compatible with an interface specification identified by the same universal bus standard.
