    摘要: A method of distributing clock signals includes receiving a plurality of clock signals into a corresponding plurality of processing blocks; determining frequency offset data between a first clock signal of the plurality of clock signals and each of the other clock signals of the plurality of clock signals; periodically determining phase offset data between the first clock signal and the other clock signals; and transmitting the first clock signal, the frequency offset data, and the phase offset data on a pulse-width modulated clock signal. The method includes receiving a modulated clock signal, the modulated clock signal include a carrier clock signal, a frequency offset data, and a phase offset data on a pulse-width modulated clock signal; and recovering a plurality of clock signals based on the first clock signal, the frequency offset data, and the phase offset data.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a device comprising a semiconductor junction configured to generate a reference voltage, a voltage divider circuit, a comparator circuit, and a first output circuit. The voltage divider circuit may be configured to generate a first predetermined threshold voltage in response to the reference voltage. The comparator circuit may be configured to generate a first intermediate signal in response to a comparison of the first predetermined threshold voltage and an input signal. The first output circuit may be configured to generate a first output signal in response to the first intermediate signal.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein a method for controlling operating frequency for a wireless power charging system. Specifically, a transmitter coil at a wireless power transmitter is driven under an operating frequency and an input voltage. Deadtime information at the wireless power receiver is received, from a wireless power receiver having a receiver coil that receives wireless power from the transmitter coil. A microcontroller then determines, based on the received deadtime information or the operating frequency, whether the operating frequency deviates from a target operating frequency range. Based on the determination, one or both of the operating frequency or the input voltage are adjusted thereby causing the operating frequency to fall within the target operating frequency range.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a spectrometer is presented. In accordance with some embodiments, the spectrometer includes an optical sensor array, the optical sensor array including a substrate and an array of pixels formed on the substrate; a spectral filter array formed over the pixels of the optical sensor array, the spectral filter array filtering incident light such that each pixel receives light of a spectral transmission profile associated with the pixel; a transparent spacer formed over the spectral filter array; and an opaque mask having input apertures allowing light through the transparent spacer and onto a portion of the spectral filter array. The spectrometer can be formed from the optical sensor array using a combination of photolithographic techniques and bonding of certain layers.
