摘要： A system includes a controllable voltage generator to generate a power supply voltage. The system also includes a system controller to determine a voltage level associated with the power supply voltage, and prompt the controllable voltage generator to generate the power supply voltage. The system includes a floating gate reference device to generate an absolute voltage reference based, at least in part, on the voltage level associated with the power supply voltage. The system can also include analog circuitry to perform one or more electrical operations responsive to the absolute voltage reference from the floating gate reference device.

摘要： A method and a system for supplying power to a microcontroller with a single cell. One embodiment of the present invention discloses incorporation of a power supply pump circuit with the microcontroller and their dynamic interaction. The microcontroller sends its power requirements to the power supply pump circuit and in response, the power supply pump circuit controls the operating voltage with optimal efficiency. The dynamic update of power supply pump circuit results in an efficient use of the power supply pump circuit and thus results in a reduction of the number of dry cell batteries to only a single cell. Incorporation of the microcontroller and power supply pump circuit onto a single chip reduces the pin number requirements as well as the space required on the printed circuit board.

摘要： In one example, a chip includes integrated components configured to operate in the digital domain and the analog domain. An I/O pad located on the chip is configured to provide an external device access to the integrated components. A multifunction I/O interface cell between the I/O pad and the integrated components is configured to selectively connect different combinations of the components to the same I/O pad at different times. The multifunction I/O interface cell may include a first switching device connected to ground, a second switching device connected to a reference voltage, an analog input/output buffer, and a digital input/output buffer.

摘要： A capacitive sensing system (100) can connect groups of capacitive sensors (112-1 to 112-N) to a common node (106) to detect change in capacitance. States of a set of capacitive sensors (112-1 to 112-N) can thus be scanned faster than approaches that scan such sensors one-by-one. Faster scanning can allow for reduced power consumption in applications that only periodically scan the set of capacitive sensors (112-1 to 112-N).

摘要翻译： 电容感测系统（100）可以将电容式传感器组112-1至112-N连接到公共节点106以检测电容的变化。 因此，一组电容式传感器（112-1至112-N）的状态可以比逐个扫描这样的传感器的方法更快地进行扫描。 更快的扫描可以在仅周期性扫描该组电容式传感器（112-1至112 -N）的应用中降低功耗。
