    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a trim storage and an encoder. The trim storage stores trim values. The encoder determines a magnitude of a supply voltage, determines a magnitude of a handle voltage, determines a source-to-handle voltage of a first transistor, and determines a source-to-handle voltage of a second transistor. Further, the encoder determines a target number of selectable first transistor units comprising the first transistor to select for the first transistor. Based on a trim value from the trim storage, the source-to-handle voltage of the first transistor and the source-to-handle voltage of the second transistor, the encoder determines a target number of selectable second transistor units comprising the second transistor to select for the second transistor. The encoder asserts control signals to select the target number of selectable first transistor units and the target number of selectable second transistor units.

    摘要: An apparatus comprises a transceiver (Tx/Rx) printed circuit board (PCB) with a top surface and a bottom surface and a power supply PCB. The Tx/Rx PCB includes two transmitter devices, each comprising a number N of channels. A first transmitter device is arranged on the bottom surface and a second transmitter device is arranged on the top surface over the first transmitter device. One or more pins of the second transmitter device are shorted with one or more pins of the first transmitter device with the same function. An analog front end (AFE) device comprising N input channels is arranged on the top surface of the Tx/Rx PCB, and a digital signal processor is coupled to the AFE device. The power supply PCB comprises a power supply module configured to provide a plurality of supply voltages to the Tx/Rx PCB and the power supply PCB.
