Abstract: Antenna tuning switch circuitry includes an input port, a shunt switch, control circuitry, and an integrated ground. The shunt switch is coupled between the input port and the integrated ground. The control circuitry includes a control signal input port, a switch driver output port coupled to the shunt switch, and a ground connection port coupled to the integrated ground. The shunt switches, the RF input ports, the control circuitry, and the integrated ground are monolithically integrated on a single semiconductor die. The antenna tuning switch circuitry is adapted to selectively couple the input port to the integrated ground in order to alter one or more operating parameters of an attached antenna. By monolithically integrating the shunt switch together with the control circuitry and the integrated ground, the ON state impedance and the parasitic OFF state impedance of the antenna tuning switch circuitry can be significantly improved.

The first electronic device has a first nonlinear capacitance and is coupled to the first nonlinear capacitance compensation circuit, which has a first compensation capacitance and receives a first compensation control signal. The capacitance compensation control circuit adjusts the first compensation capacitance using the first compensation control signal to at least partially linearize the first nonlinear capacitance.

Abstract: Antenna tuning circuitry includes an antenna tuning node, an antenna tuning switch, and a resonant tuning circuit. The antenna tuning node is coupled to a resonant conduction element of an antenna. The antenna tuning switch and the resonant tuning circuit are coupled in series between the antenna tuning switch and the antenna tuning node, such that the resonant tuning circuit is between the antenna tuning node and the antenna tuning switch. The resonant tuning circuit is configured to resonate at one or more harmonic frequencies generated by the antenna tuning switch such that a high impedance path is formed between the antenna tuning switch and the antenna tuning node at harmonic frequencies generated by the antenna tuning switch. Accordingly, harmonic interference generated by the antenna tuning switch is prevented from reaching the antenna, while simultaneously allowing for tuning of the antenna.

Abstract: Switchable capacitive elements are disclosed, along with programmable capacitor arrays (PCAs). One embodiment of the switchable capacitive element includes a field effect transistor (FET) device stack, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor. The FET device stack is operable in an open state and in a closed state and has a plurality of FET devices coupled in series to form the FET device stack. The first capacitor and the second capacitor are both coupled in series with the FET device stack. However, the first capacitor is coupled to a first end of the FET device stack while the second capacitor is coupled to a second end opposite the first end of the FET device stack. In this manner, the switchable capacitive element can be operated without a negative charge pump, with decreased bias swings, and with a better power performance.

Abstract: Embodiments of bus interface systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a bus interface system includes a master bus controller and a slave bus controller coupled along a bus line. The master bus controller is configured to generate an input data signal that is received by the slave bus controller along the bus line. The slave bus controller includes power conversion circuitry configured to convert the input data signal from the master bus controller into a supply voltage. By providing the power conversion circuitry, the slave bus controller is powered using the input data signal and without requiring an additional bus line to transfer a supply voltage to the slave bus controller.

Abstract: A bus interface system is disclosed that includes a master bus controller and a slave bus controller that are coupled by a bus line. The slave bus controller includes a decoder that allows for data to be transmitted along just the bus line. The decoder includes an oscillator, a first counter, and a comparison circuit. The oscillator is configured to be enabled by data pulses defined by the input data signal and generate oscillation pulses while enabled. The first counts the oscillation pulses and indicates a number of the oscillation pulses generated during a time slot. The comparison circuit is configured to this number with a reference number and generate a data output that represents a first logical value in response to the number being greater than the reference parameter and represents a second logical value in response to the number being less than the reference parameter.
