Abstract:
A receiver is disclosed that is capable of correcting for harmonic distortion injected into received analog signals. The receiver splits the analog signal in the analog front-end and modifies the split analog signals with a difference signal. After amplification and/or sampling, the modified analog signals are recombined in a main data pathway and are kept separate in a secondary pathway. Utilizing the difference signal, a feedback loop that includes distorters and an LMS filter detects the distortion coefficient of the harmonic distortion. A distorter in the main data pathway utilizes the detected distortion coefficient to correct the harmonic distortion in the analog signal.

Abstract:
A device for digitally protecting against an overvoltage event may include a front-end circuit, an overvoltage protection circuit, and a protection switch. The protection switch may be coupled to the overvoltage protection circuit and may be configured to decouple the front-end circuit from an external medium, in response to a clamp signal. The overvoltage protection circuit may be configured to detect the overvoltage event at one or more nodes of a circuit. In response to the detection of the overvoltage event, the overvoltage protection circuit may generate the clamp signal to activate the protection switch.
