    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for proximity detection of hard disk drive read heads are disclosed. A disclosed method comprises forming a first signal having a frequency, a first amplitude, and a first offset voltage, forming a second offset voltage substantially equal to the first offset voltage from the first signal, amplifying the amplitude of the first signal to cause the resonant signal to have a second amplitude greater than the first, and forming a second signal having a frequency indicative of the location of a read head relative to a platter of a hard disk drive.

    Abstract: A USB host for wakeup from a sleep state includes a hold memory, a USB host controller, and a USB driver. When going to sleep, the USB driver sends a suspend command to the USB host controller in response to receiving a sleep command. The USB driver also reads a controller context from the USB host controller and saves the controller context in the hold memory. Thereafter, the USB driver turns off one or more supply potentials and one or more clocks in the host controller, and returns a sleep acknowledgement. While in sleep, the interface pins are placed in a hold state and notification to the operating system are disabled.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to detect an over-current in switching circuits are described. An example method to detect an over-current in a switching circuit includes randomly selecting a sensor from a plurality of sensors operatively coupled to an output stage of the switching circuit; detecting a first voltage via the randomly selected sensor; and comparing the first voltage to a reference voltage to generate a signal, wherein the signal indicates a status of the output stage of the switching circuit.
