摘要: A radio system comprises a radio transmitter apparatus and a radio receiver apparatus. The radio transmitter apparatus is configured to transmit a continuous-wave radio-frequency signal having a first frequency. The radio receiver apparatus comprises: an antenna for receiving the continuous-wave radio-frequency signal; a local oscillator for generating a periodic signal at a second frequency which differs from the first frequency by a frequency offset; a mixer for mixing the received continuous-wave radio-frequency signal with the periodic signal to generate a down-mixed signal; and a processor or other circuitry configured to generate frequency-offset data from the down-mixed signal, wherein the frequency-offset data is representative of an estimate of the frequency offset. The processor or other circuitry is configured to use the frequency-offset data to generate DC-offset data representative of an estimate of a DC offset component of the down-mixed signal.

摘要: A method of digital radio communication between a first device and a second device is disclosed. An advertising packet is transmitted between first and second devices, wherein the packet includes a first address and a data portion.
Additionally, an encryption key is transmitted between the devices. The first device generates a second address by encrypting an identity value derived from part of the first address using the encryption key and the data portion. The result is encrypted to generate second portion of the second address. The first device then transmits a connection request including the second address. The second device decrypts the second portion and uses the encryption key to determine correspondence with the first portion. If said correspondence is determined, the second device decrypts the first portion using at least the encryption key and compares it to an expected identity value derived from the first address.-

摘要: A circuit portion comprises a DCDC converter that provides current from an output to a plurality of loads. Channel logic circuitry is configured to provide current from the output of the converter to each load according to a cyclical sequence, wherein each cycle has a duration that is divided equally into a plurality of time slots. The channel logic circuitry is configured to provide current to each load for one or more discrete time slots. The number of time slots is greater than the number of loads so that at least two output loads receive current for different numbers of time slots in a cycle.

摘要: A radio receiver is provided for low-power detection of a radio signal, wherein said receiver is configured to receive a radio signal over a radio network; convert at least part of the received radio signal into a sequence of samples; compare the similarity of a first part of the sequence and a second part of the sequence, wherein the first part and the second part are of equal length; and in response to said similarity being greater than a similarity threshold: detect a phase difference between the first part of the sequence and the second part of the sequence; calculate a frequency offset between a frequency of the received radio signal and an expected frequency of the received radio signal using said phase difference; and use said calculated frequency offset to attempt full access to the radio network.

摘要: A voltage reducing circuit comprises a power switch circuit portion comprising a high-side and low-side field-effect-transistors connected at a switch node. The power switch circuit portion has an on-state wherein the high-side transistor is enabled and the low-side transistor is disabled and, vice versa, an off-state. An energy storage circuit portion comprising an inductor connected to the switch node is arranged to provide an output voltage. A drive circuit portion receives a pulse width modulation control signal and outputs pulse width modulated (PWM) drive signals. A pre-biasing circuit portion applies bias voltages to the gate terminals of the high-side and low-side transistors in response to the PWM drive signals, wherein the pre-biasing circuit portion is arranged such that the bias voltage applied to the gate terminal of the currently disabled transistor is set to an intermediate voltage before switching between the on-state and off-state.

摘要: An electronic device is arranged to receive near-field communication signals and comprises: first and second antenna connection terminals and a variable shunt resistance connected between the first and second antenna connection terminals. The device further comprises a peak detector arranged to detect an amplitude of an incoming near-field communication signal across the antenna connection terminals and to produce a peak signal (Vpd) dependent on the amplitude and a comparator arranged to produce an error signal, wherein the error signal is dependent on a difference between the peak signal and a reference signal (Vrefpeak). The device also comprises an integral controller which is arranged to vary the shunt resistance in response to an integral of the error signal. Said configuration is employed for regulating the received voltage and reducing voltage swing.

摘要: An electronic device comprises a first processor and a second processor. An interprocessor communication module is connected to the processors and comprises a high priority mailbox and a low priority mailbox. The first processor sends a high or low priority message to the second processor. The first processor is arranged such that if it has a high priority message to send to the second processor, the first processor places the high priority message in the high priority mailbox and sends an interrupt request to the second processor. However, when the first processor has a low priority message to send to the second processor, the first processor places the high priority message in the low priority mailbox to be checked later without sending an interrupt request to the second processor.

摘要: A method of controlling an electronic device including a memory and a removable smart card. The method involves the device sending a request for context data to the smart card. The smart card sends context data to the device in response to the request and stores this data in the memory and power to the smart card is reduced. Power to the smart card is then increased or restored, and the data is written back to the smart card.

摘要: A voltage monitoring circuit portion is arranged to monitor a negative supply voltage (Vneg) and comprises a negative voltage generator arranged to generate the negative supply voltage (Vneg) and to output the negative supply voltage (Vneg) at an output terminal. A capacitor is arranged so that a first capacitor plate is connected to the output terminal of the generator and to a reference node via a potential divider. The potential divider is arranged to produce a monitor voltage (Vmonitor) between the resistors, where the reference node is supplied with a positive predetermined reference voltage (Vref). A comparator compares the monitor voltage (Vmonitor) to a threshold voltage (Vref_low) and to produce an output signal having a first value when the monitor voltage (Vmonitor) is below the threshold voltage (Vref_low) and having a second value otherwise. The negative voltage generator is enabled only when the output signal has its second value.
