    摘要: Examples described herein provide for a relaxation oscillator and corresponding methods of operation. In an example, a circuit includes a dynamically controllable current source, a capacitor, and an oscillator generation circuit. The dynamically controllable current source includes a digitally tunable current mirror configured to generate a current. The digitally tunable current mirror includes multiple transistors configured to be selectively electrically connected in parallel to alter a gain of the digitally tunable current mirror to control the current. The capacitor is selectively electrically connected to the dynamically controllable current source. The oscillator generation circuit is electrically connected to the capacitor. The oscillator generation circuit is configured to generate an oscillation signal in response to a voltage of the capacitor.

In some aspects, the ADC circuit (400) may include a plurality of channels (500), a gain calibration circuit (420), and a time-skew calibration circuit (430). Each of the plurality of channels (500) may include an ADC (520), a switch (510) configured to provide a differential input signal to the ADC (520), a calibration device (530), a multiplier (540), and a pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS) circuit (550) to provide a pseudorandom number (PN) to the switch (510), to the calibration device (530), and to the multiplier (540). In some embodiments, the calibration device (530) may include first and second offset calibration circuits (531-532) coupled in parallel between a de-multiplexer (D1) and a multiplexer (M1) that alternately route signals to the first and second offset calibration circuits (531-532) based on the pseudorandom number (PN).

    摘要: A radar system includes a transmitter to transmit a sequence of pulses, a receiver to receive reflections of the transmitted pulses, and velocity detection circuitry to determine a velocity of an object in a path of the transmitted pulses based at least in part on the transmitted pulses and the reflected pulses. The transmitter includes a plurality of digital-to-analog converters (DACs) to generate the sequence of pulses in response to a clock signal. The receiver includes a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to sample the reflected pulses in response to the clock signal. Accordingly, the ADCs are locked in phase with the DACs.
