    Abstract: An integrated circuit that performs testing of a circuit sub-block is described. This integrated circuit may include the circuit sub-block that performs a function, where the circuit sub-block is implemented in an analog domain using analog components and in a digital domain using digital components. Moreover, the integrated circuit may perform the testing of the circuit sub-block using independent testing of individual components in the circuit sub-block instead of testing the function of the circuit sub-block as a whole. Note that the individual components include the analog components and the digital components. In some embodiments, the testing may include functional safety testing.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit that selectively filters out common-mode and differential signals is described. This integrated circuit may include an RF receiver with a mixer that converts signals between a band of frequencies in the RF and a second band of frequencies based at least in part on second signals, where the second band of frequencies is less than the band of frequencies. Moreover, the mixer may include input ports that receive the second signals and include a filter circuit, electrically coupled in parallel with the input ports, that filters out the common-mode signals above a threshold frequency and filters out the differential signals below the threshold frequency. For example, the filter circuit may include a half-wavelength transmission line. Note that the mixer may convert the differential signals to the common-mode signals below the threshold frequency and may convert the common-mode signals to the differential signals above the threshold frequency.
