    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to arranging user data memory cells and test memory cells in a configurable memory array that can perform both differential and single ended read operations during memory start-up and normal memory use, respectively. Different arrangements of the user data memory cells and the test memory cells in the memory array result in increased effectiveness of memory array, in terms of area optimization, memory read accuracy and encryption for data security.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a system is provided that includes a debugging tool and an application board. The debugging tool includes a serial wire debug (SWD) host coupled to a single signal debug port (SSDP) host. The application board includes an SWD target coupled to an SSDP target. The SWD target is configured to communicate SWD signals with the SWD host. The SSDP target is configured to encode the SWD signals to SSDP signals for communication over a Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus between the application board and the debugging tool. The SSDP signals are pulse-width modulation (PWM) encoded signals of the SWD signals. An SWD clock signal generated by the SWD host is the carrier signal for the PWM encoded signals. The SSDP target is configured to decode the SSDP signals received from the SSDP host over the CAN Bus to the SWD signals.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a circuit for decoding a biphase mark coding (BMC) encoded signal is provided. The circuit includes a matched filter, a decoder circuit and a finite state machine (FSM) circuit. The matched filter is configured to generate a first response and a second response to the BMC encoded signal. The first response and second response operate respectively, at a half clock period and a full clock period of the BMC encoded signal. The detector circuit is coupled to an output of the matched filter. The detector circuit is configured to generate an output signal based on detecting a half-bit rise for the first response, a half-bit fall for the first response, a full-bit rise for the second response, or a full-bit fall for the second response. The FSM circuit is configured to decode the BMC encoded signal based on the output signal of the detector circuit.

    Abstract: A buck switching converter is calibrated using a method which alternates between first and second calibration phases. During each first calibration phase: a time period of low-side switch on state is kept constant and, for each current pulse in an inductor, a sign of a value of the current at the end of the time period of on state of the low-side switch is determined. Modification of a time period of high-side switch on state is made based on the determined sign. During each second calibration phase: a time period of high-side switch on state is kept constant and, for each current pulse in the inductor, a value of the current at the end of the time period of on state of the high-side switch is compared with a target value. Modification of the time period of low-side switch on state is made based on the comparison.

    Abstract: A continuous time, sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter circuit includes a sigma-delta modulator circuit configured to receive an analog input signal. A single bit quantizer of the modulator generates a digital output signal at a sampling frequency. A data storage circuit stores bits of the digital output signal and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) elements are actuated in response to the stored bits to generate an analog feedback signal for comparison to the analog input signal. A filter circuit includes polyphase signal processing paths and a summation circuit configured to sum outputs from the polyphase signal processing paths to generate a converted output signal. A fan out circuit selectively applies the stored bits from the data storage circuit to inputs of the polyphase signal processing paths of the filter circuit.
