    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for using dynamic supply voltages to bias circuit blocks within integrated circuits. By considering current requirements for circuit blocks based upon process variations and environmental conditions, a dynamic supply voltage can be used such that operational integrity can be maintained while reducing power consumption. By using a dynamic supply voltage, circuit blocks can be operated at a desired speed while still reducing the power required for this operation. To implement this dynamic supply regulation, circuit elements are provided within a variable supply voltage circuit that cause the dynamic supply voltage to vary based upon operational parameters such as process variations and environment parameters. As such, circuit blocks can be provided a supply voltage high enough to allow operational integrity at required speeds but not so high as to waste power by unnecessarily increasing current consumption.

    摘要: A low drop-out regulator circuit that has high ripple rejection and low power consumption. A first local feedback loop is a high-speed, high-bandwidth loop that actively rejects noise from the input source to the regulator. A second feedback loop, having lower speed and a correspondingly lower bandwidth than the first feedback loop, regulates the output voltage. Each feedback loop is separately optimized for its respective bandwidth requirements and, therefore, the regulator is highly efficient. The first feedback loop comprises an amplifier and a pair of PMOS transistors configured as a current mirror with current gain. The first feedback loop generates a first current for charging an output capacitor. Feedback ensures that the first current is proportional to a second current generated by the second feedback loop while rejecting noise from the input source. The second feedback loop comprises a transconductance amplifier that controls the second current with feedback such that the first current charges the output capacitor to the desired output voltage level. The second loop has a lower bandwidth than the first loop because the bandwidth of the second feedback loop is dominated by a relatively large output capacitance and compensation capacitance, while the bandwidth of the first feedback loop is dominated by the relatively small gate capacitances of the pair of transistors and a relatively small compensation capacitance.

    摘要: Methods and systems for determining transmission channels for short range transmissions are disclosed. A transmitter provides short range transmission to a broadcast receiver configured to receive and tune channels within a signal spectrum. Channels within the broadcast signal spectrum are scanned, and an indication of received signal strength is obtained for each channel. The received signal strength indication (RSSI) can then be compared to a threshold power level that correlates to a signal level that the transmitter will be capable of overpowering based upon the transmission power of the transmitter. The scan results in an indication of one or more channels that have received signal strengths below the threshold power level of the transmitter.

    摘要: A technique includes digitally generating orthogonal modulated signals, each of which has spectral energy that is generally centered at an intermediate frequency. The orthogonal modulated signals are frequency translated to produce translated signals, each of which has spectral energy that is generally centered about a second frequency that is higher than the intermediate frequency. The translated signals are combined to generate a modulated signal.
