    Abstract: A Wi-Fi wake-up receiver that receives wake-up signals encoded using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based on-off keying (OFDM-OOK) modulation includes receiver circuitry having analog envelope detector circuitry configured to non-linearly down-convert an input signal and provide an energy signal for sampling by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A wake-up signal for waking up a main radio in a Wi-Fi device can be based on the digitized energy signal. The receiver circuitry can further include, upstream of the envelope detector circuitry and the ADC in the signal chain, an analog mixer for linearly down-converting the input signal and a low-pass filter for attenuating adjacent-channel interferer (ACI) signals prior to the non-linear down-conversion by the envelope detector circuitry. Sampling of the energy signal rather than the higher-bandwidth input signal yield power savings in the ADC and associated circuitry such as a modem.

    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a switched capacitor circuit, a comparator, and a control circuit. The switched capacitor circuit has a switch control input and an output, and includes switches coupled to the switch control input and coupled to capacitors. The comparator has an input coupled to the output of the switched capacitor circuit and has an output. The control circuit has a switch control output coupled to the switch control input, has an input coupled to the output of the comparator, and provides switch control signals at the switch control output. Responsive to the switch control signals, the switched capacitor circuit provides an output signal to the comparator that is based on a sample of an analog input signal acquired in a sample acquisition cycle and based on a digital sample value output by the ADC prior to the sample acquisition cycle.

    Abstract: An apparatus to prevent supply-to-ground current in a comparator is disclosed. The apparatus includes circuitry to determine if first and second output nodes of the comparator have respectively reached first and second logic levels, and circuitry responsive to a determination that the voltage at the first and second output nodes of the comparator has reached the first and second logic levels, to generate a signal. In addition, the apparatus includes circuitry to supply the signal to a transistor, the signal to turn off the transistor and prevent the flow of supply-to-ground current through the comparator.
