Abstract:
A Phase-Locked Loop with multiphase clocks is provided. The Phase-Locked Loop includes a main loop, a calibration loop, and Control Logic. The main loop includes, coupled in series, a Phase Frequency Detector, a Main Charge Pump, a Main Loop Filter, a Multi-Phase Voltage Controlled Oscillator and a Phase-switching Fractional Divider. The calibration loop is coupled to the Phase Frequency Detector, and comprises a Calibration Charge Pump, a Multiplexer and Y Calibration Loop Filters, with Y being an integer. The Control Logic controls the Phase-Switching Fractional Divider and the Multiplexer. A Reference Frequency Signal is coupled to the Phase Frequency Detector and a Calibration Signal is coupled to the calibration loop. The main loop further comprises a Phase-adjusting Block coupled to a Demultiplexer. The Phase-adjusting Block is arranged so as to receive at least one correction signal from the calibration loop.

Abstract:
A device includes a memory, a first firmware copy of the device stored in a first position of the memory and a second firmware copy of the device stored in a second position of the memory, where each of the first firmware copy and the second firmware copy includes instructions, when executed by the device, perform an operation of the device; and a first delta copy associated with the first firmware copy. The first delta copy includes instructions that differ from the first firmware copy when executed at the first position and are the same when executed at the second position. The device is configured to receive the first delta copy from an external system and store the first delta copy in the memory.
Abstract:
Embedded systems and methods of reading or writing data or instructions of at least one application in a non-volatile memory are disclosed. A method includes reading or writing data or instructions of at least one application in a non-volatile memory of an embedded system. The data or instructions transit through a memory area and are interpreted by a distinct program of an operating system of the embedded system.
Abstract:
An M-point Fractional Fourier is described using several 2M-points traditional Fourier transforms. The signal path is fed through a series of blocks including a first multiplier, a zero pad, an FFT, a second multiplier, an IFFT, a first half element, and a third multiplier. The first and third multipliers have as their other inputs a value exp(nulljnn2null) for nnull0:Mnull1, derived from the clock offset signal represented by null.
