摘要: A cognitive signal converter adapted to produce a digital output signal based on an analog input signal comprises an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a cognitive network. The ADC is adapted to produce a digital converted signal based on the analog input signal, a sample clock signal and a process clock signal by sampling the analog input signal in accordance with the sample clock signal and quantizing each analog input signal sample based on the process clock signal. The cognitive network is adapted to receive the digital converted signal of the ADC, control at least one of the sample clock signal and the process clock signal based on the received digital converted signal and one or more characteristics of the analog signal source, and produce the digital output signal based on the received digital converted signal. Corresponding integrated circuit, electronic device and method are also disclosed.

摘要: A method of controlling operation of a field-powered biometric device comprising biometric acquisition circuitry, processing circuitry controllable to transition between a first functional state having a first power consumption and a second functional state having a second power consumption lower than the first power consumption, and power management circuitry. The method comprises the steps of monitoring, by the power management circuitry, a property indicative of a supply voltage to the processing circuitry; controlling, when the monitored property indicates that the supply voltage has fallen to a first threshold voltage, the processing circuitry to transition from the first functional state to the second functional state; and controlling, when the monitored property indicates that the supply voltage has increased to a second threshold voltage higher than the first threshold voltage, the processing circuitry to transition from the second functional state to the first functional state.

摘要: A fingerprint sensing system comprising a device connection interface including a device reference potential input, a sensing arrangement, and sensing reference potential providing circuitry. The sensing arrangement includes multiple sensing structures and read-out circuitry connected to each of the sensing structures. The sensing reference potential providing circuitry provides a sensing reference potential to the sensing arrangement in the form of a sensing reference signal alternating between a first sensing reference potential and a second sensing reference potential, and comprises a first capacitor; a second capacitor; charging circuitry; and switching circuitry for alternatingly switching the sensing reference potential providing circuitry between a first state in which the first capacitor and the second capacitor are connected in parallel to the charging circuitry; and a second state in which the first capacitor and the second capacitor, when charged, are connected in series between the device reference potential input and the sensing arrangement.
