摘要: According to one example configuration, an apparatus enhances functionality of a mobile communication device. The apparatus includes an encasement in which to retain the mobile communication device and supplemental circuitry. The supplemental circuitry is operable to: i) control an optical transmitter in the supplemental circuitry to irradiate matter under test, ii) monitor attributes of an optical signal reflected off the matter under test and received by the optical receiver; and iii) communicate the attributes of the optical signal from the supplemental circuitry to the mobile communication device over a communication link. The supplemental circuitry optionally includes multiple electrodes to further monitor attributes of the matter under test.

摘要: Gallium nitride-based monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) can comprise aluminum-based metals. Electrical contacts for gates, sources, and drains of transistors can include aluminum-containing metallic materials. Additionally, connectors, inductors, and interconnect devices can also comprise aluminum-based metals. The gallium-based MMICs can be manufactured in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) facilities with equipment that produces silicon-based semiconductor devices.

摘要: Apparatus and methods for high-speed drivers are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a high-speed driver multiplexes two or more data streams. The high-speed driver is implemented with a mux-then-driver topology that provides multiplexing in a predriver circuit. Thus, the multiplexer is eliminated from the full rate output path to relax timing. Driver amplitude control schemes are also disclosed in which a controllable driver includes a group of differential series source transistor (SST) driver slices that are connected in parallel with one another to drive a pair of output terminals, and a group of attenuator slices that are connected in parallel with one another across the pair of output terminals. Additionally, the controllable driver includes a control circuit that activates an attenuator slice for each SST driver slice that is decommissioned to provide output amplitude control.

摘要: An energy-efficient multiplication circuit uses analog multipliers and adders to reduce the distance that data has to move and the number of times that the data has to be moved when performing matrix multiplications in the analog domain. The multiplication circuit is tailored to bitwise multiply the innermost product of a rearranged matrix formula generate a matrix multiplication result in form of a current that is then digitized for further processing.

摘要: Herein disclosed is an example analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and methods that may be performed by the ADC. The ADC may derive a first code that approximates a combination of an analog input value of the ADC and a dither value for the ADC sampled on a capacitor array. The ADC may further derive a second code to represent a residue of the combination with respect to the first code applied to the capacitor array. The ADC may combine the numerical value of the first code and the numerical value of the second code to produce a combined code applied to the capacitor array for deriving a digital output code. Combining the numerical value of the first code and the numerical value of the second code in the digital domain can provide for greater analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion linearity.

摘要: An excess loop delay compensation (ELDC) technique for use with a successive approximation register (SAR) based quantizer in a continuous time delta-sigma ADC is described. The techniques can efficiently program and calibrate the ELD gain in ELD compensation SAR quantizers. An ELDC circuit can include a charge pump having a digitally programmable capacitance to adjust a gain, such as the gain of the ELDC digital-to-analog converter (DAC) or the gain of the SAR DAC.

摘要: The number of bits in the quantizer can be decoupled from the number of bits in the feedback digital-to-analog converter (DAC) A delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter circuit can include a first quantizer to generate an output having a first number of bits and a second quantizer coupled to an output of the first quantizer, where the second quantizer can receive the output of the first quantizer and generate an output having a second number of bits. The feedback DAC can be coupled to the second quantizer to receive a representation of the output of the second quantizer, where the output of the feedback digital-to-analog converter circuit has the second number of bits. These techniques can reduce the area of the feedback DAC, e.g., 4 or 5 bits, and the techniques can achieve a higher maximum stable amplitude (MSA) because it is effectively a second order loop.

摘要: A dual-phase hybrid DC-DC converter using a switched-capacitor technique is described. The dual-phase hybrid converter can reduce the volt-seconds on the inductors of the converter, which can allow for a reduction in the size of the inductors. In addition, the dual-phase hybrid converter can utilize inductors as current sources to charge and discharge the flying capacitors, which can reduce the size of the mid capacitor and increase solution density. Because charging and discharging are performed by inductors, the dual-phase hybrid converter can eliminate the capacitor-to-capacitor charge transfer. As such, the dual-phase hybrid converter does not need high capacitance to achieve high efficiency operation, which can further increase solution density.
