摘要:
In one embodiment, a receiver front end circuit can receive and process multiple radio frequency (RF) signals and output downconverted signals corresponding to these signals. In turn, multiple signal processors can be coupled to this front end. Specifically, a first signal processor can receive and process the downconverted signals to output a first signal obtained from content of a first RF signal, and a second signal processor can receive and process the downconverted signals to output a second signal obtained from content of a second RF signal. In addition, the apparatus may include a detection circuit coupled to the receiver front end circuit to detect presence of at least the second signal and enable the second signal processor responsive to the detected presence.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving and processing an incoming radio frequency (RF) signal in a receiver. Based on this signal, an environmental noise level can be determined, where this level corresponds to environmental noise present in an environment in which the receiver is located. Then, if the environmental noise level is substantially greater than receiver-generated noise, power consumption of at least one analog front end component of the receiver can be reduced.

摘要:
A radio frequency (RF) signal is received in a receiver, and various counts based on information from the signal can be obtained. Counts of a number of samples of the RF signal exceeding first and second thresholds can be accumulated during an accumulation window. From the first of these counts, it can be determined if the count exceeds a first metric corresponding to a first predetermined count value, and if so, a gain of an RF gain element can be reduced. From the second of these counts it can be determined if this count exceeds a second metric corresponding to a second predetermined count value, and if not, the gain can be increased.

摘要:
Systems and methods for controlling operation of an integrated circuit by applying below ground voltage to one or more pins of the integrated circuit, and in which the application of a below ground pin voltage may be employed as an initiator of (or condition for) a given mode of circuit operation in a manner that prevents the inadvertent initiation of the given mode of operation that may otherwise occur due to accidental application of an above ground voltage to one or more pins of the integrated circuit.
摘要:
A method for mitigating interference from a switched-mode power supply begins by comparing a channel of interest of a plurality of channels with a switching rate of a switch-mode power supply. The method continues when the channel of interest compares unfavorably to the switching rate by adjusting the switching rate of the switch-mode power supply until the channel of interest compares favorably to the switching rate.
摘要:
A system on a chip integrated circuit includes a first in-phase digital submodule and a first quadrature phase digital submodule such that the first in-phase digital submodule and the first quadrature phase digital submodule are operable to produce at least one output signal based on at least one input signal. A digital clock generator generates a first in-phase digital clock signal having a plurality of first in-phase digital clock cycles over a predetermined period and a first quadrature phase digital clock signal having a plurality of first quadrature phase digital clock cycles over the predetermined period. The plurality of first in-phase digital clock cycles are substantially interleaved with the plurality of first quadrature phase digital clock cycles over the predetermined period.

A digital clock generator includes a base clock generator for generating a base clock signal at a variable base clock frequency in response to a control signal. A digital clock controller generates a digital clock signal having a substantially constant number of digital clock cycles over a predetermined period.
