Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for providing information about a target based on pulse widths. The information can be provided in a formatted output signal which uses a pulse width protocol to code information by varying amplitudes and widths of successive pulses in an output signal pulse train portion. The method includes detecting a first feature of the target and in response to detecting the first feature, generating an output signal pulse train portion comprising two or more pulses with at least two of the pulses having different amplitudes and each of the two or more pulses having a width corresponding to a logic value. The widths of the two or more pulses in the output signal pulse train portion can be measured in response to the detected first feature reaching a first amplitude threshold, whereby the widths can correspond to different logic values.

Abstract: A clock driver control scheme for a resonant clock distribution network provides robust operation by controlling a pulse width of the output of clock driver circuits that drive the resonant clock distribution network so that changes are sequenced. The clock driver control circuit controls the clock driver circuits in the corresponding sector according to a selected operating mode via a plurality of control signals provided to corresponding clock driver circuits. The pulse widths differ for at least some of the sectors during operation of digital circuits within the integrated circuit having clock inputs coupled to the resonant clock distribution network. The different pulse widths may be a transient difference that is imposed in response to a mode or frequency change of the global clock that provides an input to the clock driver circuits.

Abstract: A clock generator includes a duty cycle correction circuit. The duty cycle correction circuit includes a duty cycle detector. The duty cycle detector, includes a first programmable delay element and a controller. The first programmable delay element is configured to delay a clock signal. The controller is configured to vary an amount of delay applied to the clock signal by the first programmable delay element, and to apply a delayed version of the clock signal, provided by the first programmable delay element, to locate an edge of a different version of the clock signal and measure time during which the different version of the clock is high. The controller is also configured to generate a digital value that indicates an amount of adjustment to apply to a duty cycle of the clock signal based on measured time during which the different version of the clock is high.

Abstract: A communication device includes a pulse width modulator that is provided with an oscillator signal at a communication carrier frequency. The pulse width modulator input is an amplified reference voltage that is regulated by a feedback loop. A modulation control provides the data signal to be transmitted. The modulation control may either be provided to the amplifier mixed with the reference voltage or may be provided to the pulse width modulator. A power transistor receives the pulse width modulator output and generates a chip output signal. An external filter is connected at the chip output to filter the signal that is provided to the communication antenna and produce a carrier sinusoid with an amplitude proportional to the pulse width modulated by voltage regulation and by the modulating data input. The power source is connected to the external filter. A differential version includes differential outputs from the pulse width modulator to two power transistors and through two external filters to a differential antenna.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for regulating a power conversion system. An example system controller includes a first controller terminal and a second controller terminal. The first controller terminal is configured to receive a first signal associated with an input signal for a primary winding of a power conversation system. The second controller terminal is configured to output a drive signal to a switch to affect a first current flowing through the primary winding of the power conversion system, the drive signal being associated with an on-time period, the switch being closed during the on-time period. The system controller is configured to adjust a duration of the on-time period based on at least information associated with the first signal.
