摘要:
A voltage regulator configured to receive a supply voltage from a voltage supply and provide a regulated voltage to digital circuitry is provided. The voltage regulator comprises first circuitry configured to inhibit high frequency energy generated by the digital circuitry from transmitting into the voltage supply, second circuitry configured to inhibit low frequency energy generated by the digital circuitry from transmitting into the voltage supply, and third circuitry configured to maintain the regulated voltage at a substantially constant value in response to a current drawn by the digital circuitry.

Components of a radio-frequency (RF) apparatus including transceiver circuitry and frequency modification circuitry of a crystal oscillator circuit that generates a reference signal with adjustable frequency may be partitioned in a variety of ways, for example, as one or more separate integrated circuits. The frequency modification circuitry may be implemented as part of a crystal oscillator circuit that includes digitally controlled crystal oscillator (“DCXO”) circuitry and a crystal. The frequency modification circuitry may include at least one variable capacitance device and may be employed to generate a reference signal with adjustable frequency. The adjustable reference signal may be provided to other components of the RF apparatus and/or the RF apparatus may be configured to provide the adjustable reference signal to baseband processor circuitry. Automatic frequency control (AFC) circuitry may be integrated with other components of RF circuitry and may generate frequency control signals for the frequency modification circuitry based on, for example, a signal received from a temperature sensor. Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuitry may be integrated with other components of RF circuitry to enable all-digital frequency control communications from baseband processor circuitry to RF circuitry.

A bias system is disclosed including a calibration bus to which a controller, a reference bias source, a master bias source, and first and second slave bias sources are coupled. The controller varies a control code sent over the calibration bus to the master bias source until a particular control code is found that causes the bias signal of the master bias source to equal a desired bias value which is provided by the reference bias source. The controller then sends the particular control code to the first and second slave bias sources to cause the first and second slave bias sources to generate a bias signal having the same desired bias value as the master bias source. Isolation between load circuits coupled to the first and second bias sources is thus enhanced while providing low noise, stable operation

A wireless communication device is disclosed wherein isolation buffers couple to respective active circuits or stages of the device to convey test information regarding such active circuits to a test data line from which status information may be collected. The communication device operates in two modes, namely a normal operational mode wherein the isolation buffers effectively short spurious emissions from the active circuits to a ground, and a test mode wherein the isolation buffers may convey test information from a selected active circuit to the test data line. The isolation buffers prevent spurious emissions from escaping the active circuits to which they are coupled and prevent spurious emissions from traveling from active circuit to active circuit over the test data line throughout the wireless device.

An oscillator includes a plurality of varactor cells to receive a control signal to control a frequency of the oscillator. Each of the varactor cells includes a switch that includes a first terninal to receive the control signal and a second terminal such that the switch operates to control a capacitance of the varactor cell in response to a voltage between the first and second terminals. The oscillator includes a bias circuit to provide a different bias voltage to each second terminal and an amplifier that is coupled to the varactor cells to generate an oscillating signal.
