    Abstract: Components of a radio-frequency (RF) apparatus including transceiver circuitry and frequency modification circuitry of a crystal oscillator circuit that generates a reference signal with adjustable frequency may be partitioned in a variety of ways, for example, as one or more separate integrated circuits. The frequency modification circuitry may be implemented as part of a crystal oscillator circuit that includes digitally controlled crystal oscillator (“DCXO”) circuitry and a crystal. The frequency modification circuitry may include at least one variable capacitance device and may be employed to generate a reference signal with adjustable frequency. The adjustable reference signal may be provided to other components of the RF apparatus and/or the RF apparatus may be configured to provide the adjustable reference signal to baseband processor circuitry. Automatic frequency control (AFC) circuitry may be integrated with other components of RF circuitry and may generate frequency control signals for the frequency modification circuitry based on, for example, a signal received from a temperature sensor. Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuitry may be integrated with other components of RF circuitry to enable all-digital frequency control communications from baseband processor circuitry to RF circuitry.

    Abstract: A receiver includes a gain stage, a peak detector and a processor. The gain stage provides an output signal, and the peak detector provides a binary indication of whether the output signal has reached a predetermined threshold. The processor controls the gain stage in response to the binary indication.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes multiple gain stages to receive and amplify a differential input signal at different common mode voltages. The stages each may include a pair of linear NMOS gain transistors coupled to a primary coil of a given output transformer. One of the stages may include commonly coupled terminals coupled to a center tap of the primary coil of an output transformer of another stage, and a supply current provided to one of the stages is re-used for the other stage(s).
