Abstract: A stage, suitable for use in and analog to digital converter or a digital to analog converter, comprises a plurality of slices. The slices can be operated together to form a composite output having reduced thermal noise, while each slice on its own has sufficiently small capacitance to respond quickly to changes in digital codes applied to the slice. This allows a fast conversion to be achieved without loss of noise performance. The slices can be sub-divided to reduce scaling mismatch between the most significant bit and the least significant bit. A shuffling scheme is implemented that allows shuffling to occur between the sub-sections of the slices without needing to implement a massively complex shuffler.

Abstract: SPI Round Robin Mode for Single-Cycle MUX Channel Sequencing. SPI round robin mode is an SPI mode applicable for MUX devices control. It allows the MUX output to connect to the next input channel sequentially in just one clock cycle. Configurations can be made such as: clock edge to use (rising/falling), ascending/descending channel sequence, and enabling/disabling the channels to go through. The device supersedes an ADC with built in sequencing and is applicable to multiplexing, switching, instrumentation, process control and isolation application—while retaining SPI device control and operation.

Abstract: A power factor correction device for providing tolerance to a fault condition in an input supply can include a first boost circuit, a second boost circuit, and a controller circuit. The controller circuit can interleave operation of the first boost circuit and operation of the second boost circuit such as to generate an output voltage when the input supply is received at the power factor correction device. The controller circuit can route, in response to the fault condition, a stored supply of the second boost circuit to an input of the first boost circuit. The controller circuit can control the first boost circuit to maintain the output voltage.

Abstract: The noise power of an amplifier or buffer can increase towards the unity gain crossover frequency of the amplifier. The inventor realized that many applications do not require the full bandwidth capability of the amplifier all of the time and hence step could be taken to reduce the bandwidth at the output of the amplifier and hence the noise power can be reduced when appropriate, taking other operating requirements into consideration.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises an integrated circuit (IC) including sequencer circuitry; and a memory integral to or operatively coupled to the integrated circuit, wherein at least a portion of the memory is organized as a plurality of hierarchical linked lists defining a finite state machine of a plurality of finite IC states; wherein the sequencer circuitry is configured to: receive one or more control words from the hierarchical linked lists associated with an IC state; advance the IC to the IC state according to the one or more control words; and perform one or more actions corresponding to the IC state.

Abstract: Digital to analog converter architectures are disclosed that enable the binary scaling of transistor sized to be replaced by transistors of substantially the same size. This significantly reduced the size of the Digital to Analog converter on a wafer. As the currents from the lesser bits of the converter may be very small indeed, some of the transistors are operated in a regime where the gate-source voltage applied to the transistor is below the threshold voltage for the device, the threshold voltage generally being regarded as marking the onset of significant conduction through a field effect transistor.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to data communication networks. An example data communication apparatus includes physical (PHY) layer circuitry that includes transceiver circuitry, decoder circuitry, and a signal analysis unit. The transceiver circuitry receives encoded data symbols via a network link. The received encoded data symbols are encoded using trellis coded modulation (TCM). The decoder circuitry decodes the received encoded data symbols using maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding to map a received symbol sequence to an allowed symbol sequence using a trace-back depth. A trace-back depth value is a number of symbols in the received symbol sequence used by the ML decoding to identify the allowed symbol sequence from the received symbol sequence. The signal analysis unit determines one or more link statistics of the network link, and sets the trace-back depth value according to the one or more link statistics.

Abstract: A combined isolator and power switch is disclosed. Such devices are useful in isolating low voltage components such as control compilers from motors or generators working at high voltages. The combined isolator and power switch includes circuits to transfer internal power from its low voltage side to the switch driver circuits on the high voltage side. The combined isolator and switch is compact and easy to use.
