    摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing switching noise in a system-on-chip (SoC) integrated circuit including an analog to digital converter (ADC) provides for reduced noise in the ADC conversions. Sampling circuits of the ADC are operated by sampling clock signals and digital circuits and other noise-generating circuits such as power converters, are operated by digital circuit clock signals. Both sets of clock signals are derived from the same master clock by a clock generator circuit, but an offset is applied in the clock generator circuit to move the edges of the digital circuit clock signals away from critical sampling intervals corresponding to edges of the sampling clocks. In one embodiment, the offset is applied by a processor core that forms part of the digital circuits by setting a value in the clock generator, which the clock generator then loads into the divider after halting the clock to the digital circuits.

    摘要: A power measurement and calibration system provides power and line frequency measurements by using a bandpass filter having complex voltage and current outputs from which real and imaginary power components can be determined. Calibration of the filter may be omitted if a complex wavelet filter is used to implement the bandpass filter and a determination of line frequency can also be provided for downstream use. A processor receiving data from the output of the filter can compute real and imaginary power, power factor and the line frequency. The filter may be implemented by a processor executing program instructions, or a digital circuit implementing the filter and optionally a CORDIC rotator for computing the current-to-voltage phase relationship can provide input to the processor for power measurement and calibration of the sample rate to line frequency relationship and for other uses.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for automatically securing non-volatile (NV) storage in an integrated circuit provides improved resistance to code copying and reverse-engineering attacks. External interfaces that provide read access to the NV storage are be disabled, for a predetermined time after a reset or other initialization signal is received. An internal lock state bit or key is checked as well as an external lock prevent indication. If the lock prevent indication is not received, or the internal lock state bit is already set, then the integrated circuit is operated under a locked condition, in which external access to the NV storage values is prevented. The lock prevent indication may be a signal provided during reset of the integrated circuit on a terminal that is used for another purpose after initialization of the integrated circuit.

    摘要: A digital parallel multiplier having encoders for each segmented bit pair of the multiplier input data and which selects one of 4 coefficients, based on the sum of the bit pair, that are then applied to the multiplicand input data to form a plurality of factored multiplicands. The sum of the factored multiplicands is augmented by two additional bits for all but the last of the factored multiplicands and by a logic 1 bit. The two additional bits are a logic 1 followed by the inverse of the sign bit of the factored multiplicand and are placed in the next two significant bit positions after the sign bit of the factored multiplicand, and the logic 1 is in the position occupied by the sign bit of the factored multiplicands which has the least significant bit position of all of the sign bits of the factored multiplicands.

    摘要: A decimation filter implements selective decimation ratios by arranging a plurality of sinc filters in different pipeline arrangements to produce the desired ratio. Power savings area achieved by implementing the sinc filters as FIR sinc filters and by implementing multiplications using look up tables. One approach uses a fixed first stage filter and one or more second stage sinc filters selected from the group comprising two 4th order, 5 tap sinc filters, a 4th order, 9 tap sinc filter; a 5th order, 6 tap sinc filter and a 6th order 7 tap sinc filter. The sinc filter is particularly useful applications in the field of data acquisition and particularly in the area of seismic sensing.

    摘要: A multiply add carry (MAC) circuit correctly determines the value of a carry bit when an operation X*Y+Z is undertaken, where X, Y and Z are real numbers and where an accumulator and rounding are utilized. The circuit (1) determines if the product X*Y is negative, (2) determines if the value in the accumulator is negative, (3) determines if a round bit propagates all the way to the most significant bit (MSB) position, (4) determines if the result X*Y+Accumulator+round is negative; and (5) determines a correct carry bit based on the other determinations.

    摘要: A network arrangement uses a poll select control protocol and a loop back arrangement at each node for equalizing transmission delay from each node to a central station. Delays at each node can be adjusted to start timing in response to a broadcast signal indicating an amount of delay to be applied from the start of a synchronization interval to the beginning of transmission of data collected at the nodes. The arrangement is particularly useful in the field of data acquisition and particularly in the area of seismic sensing.
