    Abstract: In certain aspects, a bias generation circuit comprises a bias voltage generator. The bias voltage generator has a main NMOS transistor having a drain and a gate of the main NMOS transistor both coupled to a first terminal, a main resistor having a first main resistor terminal and a second main resistor terminal, wherein the first main resistor terminal couples to a source of the main NMOS transistor; and a main PMOS transistor having a source of the main PMOS transistor coupled to the second main resistor terminal and a drain and a gate of the main PMOS transistor both coupled to a second terminal, wherein the second terminal couples to a main ground. The bias generation circuit further comprises an array of sensors coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal.

    Abstract: An oscillator includes an oscillating circuit having an input and an output configured to oscillate between a first state and a second state. The oscillating circuit includes a resistor-capacitor circuit configured to bias the oscillating circuit input towards a target voltage. The oscillating circuit is configured to transition the oscillating circuit output from the first state to the second state in response to the oscillating circuit input reaching a threshold voltage before it reaches the target voltage. Another oscillator includes an oscillating circuit having an input and an output configured to oscillate between the first state and the second state. The oscillating circuit is configured to transition the oscillating circuit output from the first state to the second state in response to the oscillating circuit input reaching a threshold voltage. A starting circuit is configured to set the oscillating circuit input to the threshold voltage to start the oscillating circuit.

    Abstract: Techniques for dynamically generating a headroom voltage for an envelope tracking system. In an aspect, an initial headroom voltage is updated when a signal from a power amplifier (PA) indicates that the PA headroom is insufficient. The initial headroom voltage may be updated to an operating headroom voltage that includes the initial voltage plus a deficiency voltage plus a margin. In this manner, the operating headroom voltage may be dynamically selected to minimize power consumption while still ensuring that the PA is linear. In a further aspect, a specific exemplary embodiment of a headroom voltage generator using a counter is described.

    Abstract: According to embodiments, an example UE may include means for obtaining a set of ADC samples generated by an ADC based on analog signals and an ADC input clock and means for generating, at a first time point, a start signal indicating a starting point of capturing the set of ADC samples. The UE may also include means for synchronizing, at a second time point, the start signal and a system clock and means for generating, at a third time point, a capturing sample clock for capturing the set of ADC samples. The means may further include means for inputting the start signal and the capturing sample clock to a counter to determine a time difference between the second time point and the third time point and means for determining the ADC output timing of the set of ADC samples based on the time difference.

    Abstract: A low-power phase interpolator circuit has a phase generator that receives an input clock signal and uses the input clock signal to generate multiple intermediate clock signals with different phase shifts; a phase rotator circuit that outputs phase-adjusted clock signals, each phase-adjusted clock signal having a phase that lies within a range bounded by phases of two of the intermediate clock signals; a frequency doubler circuit that receives a plurality of the phase-adjusted clock signals and outputs two frequency-doubled clock signals having a 180° phase difference; and a quadrature clock generation circuit that receives the two frequency-doubled clock signals and provides four output signals that include in-phase and quadrature versions of the two frequency-doubled clock signals.
