    摘要: In an embodiment, a method includes: receiving a global trigger with a first millimeter-wave radar; receiving the global trigger with a second millimeter-wave radar; generating a first internal trigger of the first millimeter-wave radar after a first offset duration from the global trigger; generating a second internal trigger of the second millimeter-wave radar after a second offset duration from the global trigger; start transmitting first millimeter-wave radar signals with the first millimeter-wave radar based on the first internal trigger; and start transmitting second millimeter-wave radar signals with the second millimeter-wave radar based on the second internal trigger, where the second offset duration is different from the first offset duration, and where the first and second millimeter-wave radar signals are transmitted sequentially so as to exhibit no temporal overlap.

    摘要: In an embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a communication interface configured to be coupled to a communication bus and an input circuit. The communication interface has a plurality of terminals. The input circuit has a first input coupled to a first terminal of the plurality of terminals, and a second input coupled to a second terminal of the plurality of terminals. The first input of the input circuit is configured to receive a first signal and the second input of the input circuit is configured to receive a second signal. The input circuit is configured to generate a reset signal at an output of the input circuit based on the first and second signals while the communication interface is unselected.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a method for writing to a set of serial peripheral interface (SPI) slaves coupled to an SPI bus includes: disabling master in slave out (MISO) drivers of the set of SPI slaves using the SPI bus; after disabling the MISO drivers, setting respective slave selection terminals of the set of SPI slaves to an active state; and after setting the respective slave selection terminals of the set of SPI slaves to the active state, simultaneously writing data to the set of SPI slaves using a master out slave in (MOSI) line.
