摘要:
An expanded sequence number is added to PDUs in a Bluetooth® low energy system. The expanded sequence number provides more accurate identification of the PDUs and allows the system to avoid delaying transmission of PDUs while retransmitting other PDUs. A PDU security sequence number may also be added to the PDUs. The security sequence number is used to create a unique nonce for use in encrypting or decrypting and authenticating the PDU. Using the security sequence number, a failed connection can be reestablished between two devices without the need of generating an encryption key. The security sequence number allows the devices to perform encryption or decryption and authentication using an existing key and a nonce generated from the security sequence number.

A first device is adapted to communicate with a second device using a protocol standard. The devices exchange security and connection setup frames using a preamble format and a header format defined in the protocol standard. The connection setup frames specify a modified protocol using a truncated preamble, a shortened header, or both. The devices configure their transceivers to transmit and receive frames formatted based on the modified protocol.

A single-antenna solution is provided for near-field and far-field communication in wireless devices. In an embodiment, a first transceiver block generates a first transmit signal to be transmitted using radiative techniques. A second transceiver block generates a second transmit signal to be transmitted using inductive coupling. The first and second transceiver blocks are coupled to a same antenna for transmitting the first transmit signal using radiative coupling, and the second transmit signal using inductive coupling. The first transceiver block and the second transceiver block operate according to time division multiplexing, and in an embodiment corresponding to an FM transceiver and an NFC transceiver.

A closed loop amplifier adapted to be directly connected to a battery having a battery voltage for powering the amplifier. The amplifier includes an amplifier stage having a node for receiving a control voltage for controlling a common mode voltage of the stage, a digital voltage indicator for generating a digital value corresponding to the battery voltage, and a common mode voltage supply providing the control voltage corresponding to the digital value.In a preferred embodiment, a Class-D amplifier is powered by a power supply providing power by way of a power supply voltage node and a ground node, the amplifier having improved common-mode voltage control. A first integrator stage receives an input signal and provides an output signal, the integrator stage having a first common-mode reference voltage applied thereto for control of the common-mode voltage of the integrator stage. A second integrator stage receives an input signal and provides an output signal, the integrator stage having a second common-mode reference voltage applied thereto for control of the common-mode voltage of the integrator stage. A comparator stage receives the output of the first integrator stage and the output of the second integrator stage and provides an output signal corresponding to the difference between them. An output stage provides an output of the amplifier. A digital voltage indicator generates a digital value corresponding to the voltage at the power supply voltage node, while a common-mode voltage supply provides the first common-mode reference voltage corresponding to the digital value.

A Class-D amplifier system may include an input stage that includes an Nth order filter, where N>1. The input stage filters an input signal to provide a filtered output signal, an input of the input stage being configured to receive the input signal as a digital pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signal. A comparator provides a quantized output signal based on the filtered output signal. An output stage is connected between a first voltage rail and a second voltage rail. The output stage provides a switching output signal at an output that varies between the first voltage rail and the second voltage rail based on the quantized output signal. A feedback path connects the output of the output stage with the input of the input stage, such that the Nth order filter compensates for variations in at least one of the first voltage rail and the second voltage rail.

摘要:
An insubstantial amount of noise results at the output of a circuit when an output of a primary amplifier is disconnected from and reconnected to the circuit in which is operating. The primary amplifier is placed temporarily in a muting configuration. A secondary amplifier permanently in a muting configuration is connected in parallel with the primary amplifier. The output of the primary amplifier then is disconnected from a circuit node to which it is attached. The primary amplifier may then be taken out of its muting configuration. After, for example, configuring the primary amplifier as a comparator and calibrating its dc-offset voltage, the primary amplifier is placed back into a muting configuration. The secondary amplifier then is disconnected from the primary amplifier. The primary amplifier may subsequently be taken out of muting configuration to resume its normal function in the circuit.
