Abstract:
Described is an apparatus which comprises: a substrate; a plurality of holes formed as vias (e.g., through-silicon-vias (TSVs)) in the substrate; and a metal loop formed in a metal layer positioned above the plurality of holes such that a plane of the metal loop is orthogonal to the plurality of holes.
Abstract:
Described is an apparatus which comprises: a backside of a first die having a redistribution layer(RDL); one or more passive planar devices disposed on the backside, the one or more passive planar devices formed in the RDL; a front-side of the first die having an active region; and one or more vias to couple the active region with the one or more passive planar devices.
Abstract:
A self-configurable amplifier and method of amplification, including an RF signal level detector having an input connected to an RF signal, and an output configured to produce a control signal responsive to a power level of the RF signal. The control signal is supplied to a parametric adjustment circuit that includes an input connected to the control signal, and an output configured to provide a negative feedback responsive to the control signal. The negative feedback is supplied to an RF amplifier that includes an input forming an input of the self-configurable amplifier, an output forming an output of the self-configurable amplifier, and a control port connected to the output of the parametric adjustment circuit, such that one or more parameters of the RF amplifier is responsive to the negative feedback.

Abstract:
In accordance with various aspects of the disclosure, a method and apparatus for receiving multiple channels from a broadcast source and interfacing to multiple demodulators within a common silicon implementation is disclosed. A receiver apparatus is disclosed that may aggregate multiple channels output by multiple tuners into at least one composite signal. The at least one composite signal may be passed to a single ADC. The channels may then be extracted from the at least one composite signal in the digital domain prior to demodulation in separate demodulators.
