摘要: According to some embodiments, an all digital ramp generator may use a string of series connected delays or digital to time-based circuits to perform voltage ramp generation. Thus in some embodiments conventional operational amplifier circuits and relaxation oscillators may be replaced for generating triangular ramp waveforms for DC to DC or direct time-based DC to DC converters. The use of delay lines may produce sufficient resolution for many applications. Thus time domain techniques may afford a more digital approach that scales with process technology and allows high speed operation in some embodiments. A design based on use of inverters and capacitors may scale well with process technology. The decoder and drive logic may be integrated into the voltage ramp generation in some embodiments.

摘要: A wireless transceiver may include a power amplifier that uses an envelope tracker. The envelope tracker may include stacked buck switching supply modulators, each having two different supply voltages. In one embodiment, the two different supply voltages are higher and lower supply voltages, which relaxes the voltage head room on the switching regulator and allows the use of thin gate fast transistors in some embodiments.

摘要: Film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARS) have resonant frequencies that vary with manufacturing variations, but tend to be matched when in proximity on an integrated circuit die. FBAR resonant frequency is determined using a fractional-N synthesizer and comparing phase/frequency of an output signal from the fractional-N synthesizer to a reference. The reference may be derived from a low frequency crystal oscillator, an external signal source, or a communications signal.

摘要: A stochastic beating time-to-digital converter (TDC) can include triggered ring oscillator (TRO) and a stochastic TDC (sTDC). The TRO, when triggered by a reference signal edge, can generate a periodic TRO signal with a TRO period that is a selected ratio of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) period. The TRO period can be greater than or less than the VCO period by the specified ratio. The sTDC with an event triggered memory can include an sTDC component with a plurality of groups of latches. Each group of latches can be configured to sample and store a VCO state at an edge of a TRO signal. The sTDC component can trigger a capture of a select number of VCO states of the group of latches when one latch in the group of latches transitions to a different digital state referred to as a transition edge.

摘要: An inverter-driven resistor-ladder digital-to-analog (DAC) converter includes a resistor-ladder network that comprises a resistor for each bit signal of a multi-bit input signal. Each resistor of the resistor-ladder network comprises an input end and an output end. The input end of each resistor is coupled to a corresponding bit signal of the multi-bit input signal, and the output end of each resistor is coupled to an output node of the resistor-ladder network. An output voltage is generated at the output node that is based on the multi-bit input signal. In one exemplary embodiment, the multi-bit input signal is a sigma-delta (ΣΔ) modulated multi-bit input signal. In another exemplary embodiment, resistance values of the resistors of the resistor-ladder network are related by a binary weighting. In still another exemplary embodiment, resistance values of the resistors of the resistor-ladder network are substantially equal.

摘要: Embodiments provide apparatuses, systems, and methods to convert an analog signal input into a sigma-delta digital output at a high sampling rate and correct for noise components of the digital output. An analog filter coupled to a sigma-delta converter accepts a noise-shaped analog signal from the sigma-delta converter to attenuate signal components of the noise-shaped analog signal at a plurality of folding frequencies associated with a sampling rate of a low-speed Analog-To-Digital (ADC) to produce a filtered output. The low-speed ADC is coupled to an output of the analog filter and samples the filtered output of the analog filter at a sampling rate slower than the high sample rate to output an ADC digital output. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
