Abstract: Embodiments provide a method for sending a message from an RFID transponder to a reader during a transmission frame using active load modulation, the method comprising. An encoded bit signal has a first logic level during first time segments within the transmission frame and a second logic level during second time segments within the transmission frame. The first time segments include an initial time segment of the transmission frame. A transmission signal is generated based on the encoded bit signal. The transmission signal is generated having a first phase depending on the first logic level during the first time segments, a second phase depending on the second logic level during the second time segments, and the second phase during a time interval preceding the transmission frame.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards a configurable accelerator framework device that includes a stream switch and a plurality of convolution accelerators. The stream switch has a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports. Each of the input ports is configurable at run time to unidirectionally pass data to any one or more of the output ports via a stream link. Each one of the plurality of convolution accelerators is configurable at run time to unidirectionally receive input data via at least two of the plurality of stream switch output ports, and each one of the plurality of convolution accelerators is further configurable at run time to unidirectionally communicate output data via an input port of the stream switch.

Abstract: A memory array has word lines and bit lines. A row decoder is operable to decode a row address and select a corresponding word line. A read-write clock generator is operable to generate a hold clock signal. An address clock generator receives a read address, a write address, a dual port mode control signal, a read chip select signal, and a write chip select signal. When operating in dual port mode, and when operating in a read mode, the address clock generator applies a read delay to the read address and outputs the read address, as delayed, to the row pre-decoder as the address in response to the hold clock signal.

Abstract: A phase or frequency locked-loop circuit includes an oscillator configured to generate an output clock signal having a frequency set by an oscillator control signal. A modulator circuit receives a first signal and a second signal and is configured to generate a control signal having a value modulated in response to the first and second signals. A filter circuit generates the oscillator control signal by filtering the control signal. A delta-sigma modulator circuit operates to modulate the second signal in response to a modulation profile. As a result, the output clock signal is a spread spectrum clock signal.

Abstract: A reference voltage generator circuit includes a circuit that generates a complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT) voltage and a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current. An output current circuit generates, from the PTAT current, a sink PTAT current sunk from a first node and a source PTAT current sourced to a second node, wherein the sink and source PTAT currents are equal. A resistor is directly connected between the first node and the second node. A divider circuit divides the CTAT voltage to generate a divided CTAT voltage applied to the first node. A voltage at the second node is a fractional bandgap reference voltage equal to a sum of the divided CTAT voltage and a voltage drop across the resistor that is proportional to a resistor current equal to the sink and source PTAT currents.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a data packet transmitted by a near field communications (NFC) device at a NFC controller. Whether the data packet includes application identifier routing information is determined, and based thereupon the data packet is routed to a default application identifier routing address based on a look-up table lacking an application identifier routing address associated with the application identifier routing information. Whether the data packet includes protocol routing information is determined based upon the data packet lacking the application identifier routing information, and the data packet is routed to a default protocol routing address based upon the look-up table lacking a protocol routing address associated with the protocol routing information, using the NFC controller. The default application identifier routing address is different than the default protocol routing address.
