    Abstract: A digital-to-time converter (DTC) circuit. The DTC circuit includes a charge node. A variable current source has a source input and a source output. The source input is coupled to a DTC digital input and the source output is coupled to the charge node. A capacitor has a first capacitor electrode and a second capacitor electrode. The first capacitor electrode is coupled to the charge node. A comparator has a first comparator input, a second comparator input, and a comparator output. The first comparator input is coupled to the charge node, the second comparator input is coupled to a reference voltage terminal, and the comparator output is coupled to a DTC output. A pre-charge circuit has a pre-charge control input and a pre-charge output. The pre-charge control input is coupled to a DTC pre-charge input and the pre-charge output is coupled to the capacitor.

    Abstract: Apparatus for communication across a capacitively coupled channel are disclosed herein. An example circuit includes a first plate substantially parallel to a substrate, thereby forming a first capacitance intermediate the first plate and the substrate. A second plate is substantially parallel to the substrate and the first plate, the first plate intermediate the substrate and the second plate. A third plate is substantially parallel to the substrate, thereby forming a second capacitance intermediate the third plate and the substrate. A fourth plate is substantially parallel to the substrate and the third plate, the third plate intermediate the substrate and the fourth plate. An inductor is connected to the first plate and the third plate, the inductor to, in combination with the first capacitance and the second capacitance, form an LC amplifier.

    Abstract: In described examples, a method of inductive coupled communications includes providing a first resonant tank (first tank) and a second resonant tank (second tank) tuned to essentially the same resonant frequency, each having antenna coils and switches positioned for changing a Q and a bandwidth of their tank. The antenna coils are separated by a distance that provides near-field communications. The first tank is driven to for generating induced oscillations to transmit a predetermined number of carrier frequency cycles providing data. After the predetermined number of cycles, a switch is activated for widening the bandwidth of the first tank. Responsive to the oscillations in the first tank, the second tank begins induced oscillations. Upon detecting a bit associated with the induced oscillations, a switch is activated for widening the bandwidth of the second tank and a receiver circuit receiving an output of the second tank is reset.
