    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit, a comparator circuit, an encoder, and a compensation circuit. The DAC circuit receives a reference voltage and provides an output signal based on the reference voltage. The comparator circuit compares the output signal with an analog input signal and generates a comparison signal. A reset command is generated based on the output signal being greater than the analog input signal. The encoder splits a ripple associated with the reference voltage into multiple pulses in response to a reset command. The compensation circuit generates, responsive to the reset command, compensation pulses to compensate the multiple pulses.

    摘要: A wireless communication device is implemented to include a communication interface and a processor. The processor is configured to process communications associated with the other wireless communication devices within the wireless communication system to determine one or more traffic characteristics of those communications as well as one or more class characteristics of the other wireless communication devices. The processor is configured to classify the communications into one or more access categories based on the one or more traffic characteristics and is configured to classify the other devices into one or more device class categories based on the one or more class characteristics. The processor is then configured to generate one or more channel access control signals based on these classifications. The communication interface of the device is configured to transmit the one or more channel access control signals to one or more of the other devices.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are related to systems and methods for a successive approximation analog to digital converter (SAR ADC). In one aspect, the SAR ADC includes a calibration circuit configured to receive some or all of the plurality of bits corresponding to the input voltage and accumulates or averages at least some of the bits corresponding to the input voltage. The calibration circuit is configured to provide a first offset signal to control a first offset associated with a first comparator, a second offset signal to control a second offset associated with a second comparator, or reduce an offset difference associated with the first offset and the second offset.

    摘要: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing a novel integrated programmable gain amplifier (“PGA”) and protection circuit. In various embodiments, a circuit is provided that comprises: a PGA, an analog-to-digital converter (“ADC”), and a protection circuit all disposed on the same semiconductor chip. The PGA is configured to receive as input a wireless signal received from an antenna and to output, at its output, an amplified wireless signal based on the wireless signal being amplified by a programmable gain amount. The protection circuit is configured to, in response to detecting a spike in gain at the output of the PGA that exceeds a threshold amplitude, control a decrease in the programmable gain amount to cause a resultant signal at the output of the PGA to be below the threshold amplitude. A normally-open switch may also be added at differential outputs of the PGA to further clamp PGA output.

    摘要: Various aspects of amplifying amplitude of a pulse are disclosed herein. In sonic embodiments, a device includes driver circuitry that receives an input pulse swinging or transitioning between a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage higher than the first reference voltage, In some embodiments, the driver circuitry generates a driving pulse swinging between a third reference voltage and the second reference voltage according to the input pulse, where the third reference voltage is between the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage. In some embodiments, the device further includes a transistor coupled to the driver circuitry. In some embodiments, the transistor outputs an output pulse swinging between the first reference voltage and an output voltage according to the driving pulse from the driver circuitry, where the output voltage is higher than the second reference voltage.
