    摘要: A microcontroller includes a clock generator having an internal reference clock, a system mode controller establishing an operating mode, a flash memory having an internal clock and a non-volatile option register, and a boot mode selection logic circuit coupled to the system mode controller and the flash memory. The logic circuit outputs a boot mode selection signal instructing the microcontroller to boot in a very low power run (VLPR) mode or a RUN mode. The system mode controller enters the VLPR or RUN mode in response. The flash memory bypasses and disables its internal clock prior to calibration of the flash memory in the VLPR mode and prior to initialization of the flash memory in the RUN mode. The flash memory subsequently uses an external clock signal based on the output of the internal reference clock.

    摘要: A system for compensating for variations in the frequency of an input clock signal having a first frequency includes a coarse counter that receives the input clock signal, counts a predetermined number of clock pulses of the input clock signal, and generates a coarse compensated clock signal having a second frequency. A first compensation module adjusts a clock pulse of the input clock signal based on a coarse compensation value. A residual period adjustment module accumulates a fine compensation value for each clock pulse of the coarse compensated clock signal. A fine counter operates at a third frequency of a fine clock signal, receives an adjusted delay value based on the accumulated fine compensation value, counts a number of fine clock pulses in each clock pulse of the coarse compensated clock signal, and generates a fine compensated clock signal having the second frequency.

    摘要: There is provided an energy consumption meter device comprising including a processor arranged to receive input data from the sampling unit. The processor calculates at a calculation step [n] an energy contribution value using ΔE using a sampled voltage value and a sampled current value. The processor will calculate an energy value E[n] using a reminder value which was calculated at a previous calculation step [n−1]. The processor will then calculate a relative delay Td′ using the threshold value, the reminder value and the energy value, and generate an output pulse at an output time tpulse which is delayed for the relative delay Td′ with respect to the calculation time step[n]. By delaying the output pulse with a value which is a closest proximity of Td, the cycle-by-cycle jitter is less or equal to the clock frequency of the timer tclk.

    摘要: A Sin-Cos sensor arrangement comprises a Sin-Cos sensor operably coupled to signal processing logic via a hardware interface. The hardware interface is arranged to provide the signal processing logic with analog sine and cosine waveforms indicative of fine position data and binary counterparts of the analog sine and cosine waveforms (Phase_A and Phase_B) indicative of rough position data. The signal processing logic is arranged to determine a position and speed of the Sin-Cos sensor by compensating for inaccuracies between analog sine and cosine waveforms and their binary counterparts. In this manner, a fully software-based solution provides a fast, efficient and high accuracy position and speed estimation based on the processing of the analog sine and cosine signals and the digital representation thereof of the Sin-Cos sensor.
