    Abstract: Integrated circuit devices include a packaged MEMS-based oscillator circuit, which is configured to support bidirectional frequency margining of a periodic output signal. This bidirectional frequency margining is achieved using a first signal to synchronize changes in a frequency of the periodic output signal and a second signal to control whether the changes in the frequency of the periodic output signal are incremental or decremental. In particular, the oscillator circuit may be configured so that each change in the frequency of the periodic output signal is synchronized to a corresponding first voltage transition of the first signal and a voltage level of the second signal may be used to control whether the changes in the frequency of the periodic output signal are incremental or decremental.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus provides OFDM signal compression for transfer over serial data links in a base transceiver system (BTS) of a wireless communication network. For the uplink, an RF unit of the BTS applies OFDM cyclic prefix removal and OFDM frequency transformation of the baseband signal samples followed by frequency domain compression of the baseband signal samples, resulting from analog to digital conversion of received analog signals followed by digital downconversion, forming compressed coefficients. After transfer over the serial data link, the baseband processor applies frequency domain decompression to the compressed coefficients prior to further signal processing. For the downlink, the RF unit performs frequency domain decompression of the compressed coefficients and applies OFDM inverse frequency transformation of the decompressed coefficients and OFDM cyclic prefix insertion prior to digital upconversion and digital to analog conversion, generating the analog signal for transmission over the antenna.

    Abstract: A synchronous rectifier circuit rectifies an AC input voltage to produce a DC output voltage. The synchronous rectifier circuit comprises MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) switches coupled within secondary transformer windings resulting in a shortened AC current path compared to conventional synchronous rectifier circuits. The shortened current path mitigates skin and proximity effects, substantially improving the power efficiency of the synchronous rectifier circuit. A rectifier assembly integrates one or more synchronous rectifier circuits within a magnetic core.

    Abstract: A Signal Processing Engine (SPE) includes circuitry for generating a selectable forward tap and a selectable reverse tap from a forward delay chain and a reverse delay chain, respectively. An add/subtract unit arithmetically combines the selectable forward tap and the selectable reverse tap to generate an intermediate output. A multiplier combines the intermediate output and a coefficient output from a circular coefficient buffer to generate a multiply result. Another adder/subtractor combines the multiply result with a second term including a processed input or an accumulator feedback by bypassing, adding, or subtracting the second term with the multiply result to generate an accumulator output. The accumulator output may be delayed a programmable number of clock cycles to generate a processed output. In some embodiments, the SPE is coupled to programmable logic blocks forming a programmable logic array through a programmable SPE routing block.
