    摘要: Apparatus and method for clock and data recovery are disclosed. A reset circuit counts clock cycles between edges of an input signal and resets a signal processing circuit that performs acquisition and tracking of a data stream when the clock cycle count is outside of a range. The signal processing circuit is further configured to perform acquisition and tracking according to a corrected data rate, which can be generated by data rate adjustment through a phase error correcting control loop and/or dithering between two data rates.

    摘要: Many conventional video processing algorithms attempting to detect human presence in a video stream often generate false positives on non-human movements such as plants moving in the wind, rotating fan, etc. To reduce false positives, a technique exploiting temporal correlation of non-human movements can accurately detect human occupancy while reject non-human movements. Specifically, the technique involves performing temporal analysis on a time-series signal generated based on an accumulation of foreground maps and an accumulation of motion map and analyzing the running mean and the running variance of the time-series signal. By determining whether the time-series signal is correlated in time, the technique is able to distinguish human movements and non-human movements. Besides having superior accuracy, the technique lends itself to an efficient algorithm which can be implemented on low cost, low power digital signal processor or other suitable hardware.

    摘要: A system for receiving at least two data streams and providing a single input data stream to a MIPI's CSI Tx is disclosed. The two received data streams are written into respective data buffers. The system includes a control logic configured to control reading of data stored in the buffers to a multiplexer, the read-side clock being a multiple of a frequency of a fixed frequency clock. The control logic is further configured to control the multiplexer to combine data read from each buffer that corresponds to a complete unit of data into a separate portion and multiplex the separate portions into the input data stream. In this manner, two data streams may be transmitted using a single CSI Tx. When the two data streams are received by the system from an APIX interface, the system provides a bridge between the APIX interface and MIPI's CSI Tx.

    摘要: An input stage to an analog to digital converter (ADC) includes at least one sampling capacitor (SC) for sampling an input signal in acquire phases, a capacitive gain amplifier (CGA) for providing the input signal to the SC, and bandwidth control means. The bandwidth control means is configured to ensure that the SC has a first bandwidth during a first part of an acquire phase and has a second bandwidth during a subsequent, second, part of said acquire phase, the second bandwidth being smaller than the first. In this manner, first, the input signal is sampled at a higher, first, bandwidth allowing to take advantage of using a high-bandwidth CGA to minimize settling error on the SC, and, next, during a second part of the same acquire phase, the input signal is sampled at a lower, second, bandwidth advantageously decreasing noise resulting from the use of a high-bandwidth CGA.

    摘要: An LIF receiver includes a receiver path comprising: a mixer for mixing a received RF signal with a local oscillator signal to provide an IF signal at a lower frequency than the received RF signal, a bandpass filter for filtering the IF signal, a PGA for amplifying the filtered IF signal, an ADC for converting the amplified filtered IF signal to a digital signal, a converter for converting the digital signal to a baseband digital signal, and an AGC for setting a gain of the PGA in response to a magnitude of the received RF signal. A programmable DC signal source injects a programmed DC offset signal into the amplified filtered IF signal converted by the ADC, and a signal sensor, operatively connected to the receiver path after the PGA, determines a polarity of PGA signal output for a programmed DC offset signal. A controller determines a programmed DC offset signal minimizing a magnitude of the baseband signal in the absence of a received RF signal for at least one gain setting of the PGA.
