The second semiconductor die includes: a fault detection circuit configured to detect electrical faults in the second semiconductor die; a logic circuit coupled to the fault detection circuit and configured to assert a modulation bypass signal in response to a fault being detected by the fault detection circuit; and modulation masking circuitry configured to force the modulated signal to a steady value over a plurality of periods of the carrier signal in response to the modulation bypass signal being asserted. The first semiconductor die includes a respective logic circuit sensitive to the modulated signal and configured to detect a condition where the modulated signal has a steady value over a plurality of periods of the carrier signal, and to assert a fault detection signal in response to the condition being detected.

    摘要: An RF redundancy switch for selecting and outputting an output signal from a plurality of source signals. The RF redundancy switch selects the output signal from the input RF signals based on measurement of at least one signal validity criteria for the plurality of source signals, by application of a signal selection function thereto. The output signal is switched any time that the RF redundancy switch, using the signal selection function, determines that a different source signal should become the output signal. The RF redundancy switch allows a user to set the signal selection function by an interface. A method of intelligent RF redundancy switching between a plurality of RF input signals is also disclosed.

    摘要: Techniques for dynamic power control of a radio of a utility data collection device (e.g., utility meter configured for wireless communications) are described that utilize a detection scheme applied to a Front End Module (FEM) in the utility data collection device. A utility data collection device measures a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) presented to the FEM during transmission. The result of this measurement allows the utility data collection device to dynamically control the input power to a FEM transmit portion. Utilizing these techniques, the utility data collection device can adjust to environmental changes and conditions experienced in the field.

    摘要: Disclosed is an electronic device capable of controlling a power supply interrupt according to the state of water leakage. A portable telephone (1) is equipped with a water leakage detection unit (60) that detects a physical quantity which changes according to the state of water leakage and a CPU (49) that interrupts a power supply in response to the detection result from the water leakage detection unit (60). When the electrostatic capacity detected by the water leakage detection unit (60) is greater than or equal to a threshold value A and less than a threshold value B, the CPU (49) continues to interrupt the power supply until a time T1 elapses, and when the electrostatic capacity detected by the water leakage detection unit (60) is equal to or greater than the threshold value B, said CPU continues to interrupt the power supply until a time T2 which is longer than the time T1 elapses.
