    摘要: A method of calculating a transmission delay value for data transmitted from a first device to a second device across a communications link. The method involves calculating a plurality of measured values representing the transmission delay measured by the second device over time; detecting a minimum boundary of the measured values; and deriving the transmission delay value from the minimum boundary. The transmission delay value may be used to synchronize the clock signal of the second device to the clock signal of the first device.

    摘要: Under bump passive structures, such as capacitors and inductors, may be formed using the post-processing layers in wafer level packaging. In an embodiment, a packaged semiconductor device is described which includes an under-bump capacitor formed in semiconductor device post-processing layers. As part of the post-processing a first dielectric layer is deposited on the active face of a semiconductor die and then in sequence a first metal layer, second dielectric layer and second metal layer are deposited. The under-bump capacitor is formed from a lower plate in the first metal layer and an upper plate in the second metal layer, the plates being separated by the second dielectric layer. In order to increase capacitance, the capacitor may be formed over one or more openings in the first dielectric layer, such that the layers forming the capacitor are no longer planar but follow the underlying topology.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for estimating the noise spectrum of an audio signal occupying a certain frequency range. The amplitude of the audio signal is measured at only a subset of the frequency range having a low expected signal to noise ratio at the time of measuring such that the measured amplitude is indicative of noise amplitude at that subset of the frequency range. A predefined noise spectral shape is then adapted by fitting to the noise amplitude so as to form the estimated noise spectrum. The noise spectrum so estimated is used to remove interference noise from the audio signal.
