摘要:
A modulation system and method are provided for transitioning between modulation formats in adjacent transmit bursts. The modulation system includes a data interface, first modulation circuitry operating according to a first modulation format, and second modulation circuitry operating according to a second modulation format. During a transition, a timing signal triggers ramp-down of an output power of a power amplifier amplifying modulated data for the first transmit burst. Upon receiving the timing signal, the data interface proceeds to provide a current symbol of data for the first transmit burst. Upon completion of the current symbol, the data interface delays data for a second transmit burst by a variable delay time prior to providing the data for the second transmit burst to the second modulation circuitry, and the second modulation circuitry is reset. Accordingly, a glitch caused by resetting the second modulation circuitry occurs before ramp-up for the second transmit burst.

An automatically configurable 2-wire/3-wire serial communications interface (AC23SCI), which includes start-of-sequence (SOS) detection circuitry and sequence processing circuitry, is disclosed. When the SOS detection circuitry is coupled to a 2-wire serial communications bus, the SOS detection circuitry detects an SOS of a received sequence based on a serial data signal and a serial clock signal. When the SOS detection circuitry is coupled to a 3-wire serial communications bus, the SOS detection circuitry detects the SOS of the received sequence based on a chip select (CS) signal. The SOS detection circuitry provides an indication of detection of the SOS to the sequence processing circuitry, which initiates processing of the received sequence using the serial data signal and the serial clock signal upon the detection of the SOS. As such, the AC23SCI automatically configures itself for operation with some 2-wire and some 3-wire serial communications buses without external intervention.

A system and method for performing sample rate conversion and creating fractional delays to a signal is disclosed. The system comprises a filter, a look up table for storing coefficients for sample rate conversion and fractional delays, and control circuitry configured to use an indexing scheme to select one or more coefficients from the look up table for rate conversion and fractional delays. The coefficients stored in the look up table comprise the coefficients required to generate delays in desired increments of a sample rate. In the disclosed method, the one or more coefficients necessary for a desired sample rate and fractional delay are selected from a single look up table and provided to a filter to delay the signal based upon the input sample rate.

A system and method are provided for transitioning between modulation formats in adjacent transmit bursts. The system includes a modulation system having a data interface, first modulation circuitry operating according to a first modulation format, and second modulation circuitry operating according to a second modulation format. During a transition between a first transmit burst in the first modulation format and a second transmit burst in the second modulation format, the data interface receives a timing signal signifying a start of data for the second transmit burst. In response to the timing signal, the second modulation circuitry resets, and the data interface delays the data for the second transmit burst by a modulator delay time. By delaying the data for the second transmit burst, a glitch caused by resetting the second modulation circuitry arrives at the output of the second modulation circuitry prior to the data for the second transmit burst.

The present invention provides a system for adjusting a selectable capacitance of a variable capacitance array to compensate for voltage non-linearity of the variable capacitance array. In general, the system includes the variable capacitance array and a calibration circuit. The calibration circuit operates to determine a voltage across the variable capacitance array and to generate a capacitance selection signal based on the voltage across the variable capacitance array and a known capacitance versus voltage characteristic of the variable capacitance array.

A protection system and method for protecting a direct current to direct current voltage converter (DC-DC converter) from a potentially damaging excessive output current due to exposure to a relatively strong magnetic field is disclosed. The system includes a detector circuit configured to monitor a signal characteristic of the DC-DC converter, and a linear regulator having an output coupled to the load output of the DC-DC converter. The system further includes a control system configured to disable a load output of the DC-DC converter and enable the output of the linear regulator when the detector detects that the signal characteristic has moved outside a predetermined threshold range. Moreover, the control system is further configured to disable the output of the linear regulator after a predetermined time period, and enable the load output of the DC-DC converter after the predetermined time period.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to RF front-end (RFFE) circuitry that includes multiple RFFE circuits, each of which may be provided by a separate integrated circuit (IC), front-end module, or both. As such, the RFFE circuits may be connected to one another using an RFFE serial communications bus. Further, one or more of the RFFE circuits may need an accurate clock source for analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), calibration, sensor measurements, or the like. Instead of including an integral clock source circuit or receiving a separate external clock signal, an RFFE circuit may extract clock information from the RFFE serial communications bus to provide one or more clock signal. The clock information may be associated with one or more serial communications command via the RFFE serial communications bus.
