Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a supply terminal to receive a supply voltage and a test terminal that operates in an input mode and an output mode. A test interface of the integrated circuit operates in a normal mode requiring a serial write to the test terminal to access test locations in the integrated circuit. The test interface also operates in an automatic mode in which addresses for test locations are auto incremented by toggling the supply voltage from a high voltage level to a low voltage level and back to the high voltage level. In an input mode, with the supply voltage at the low voltage level, the test pin receives configuration and address information. In output mode, with the supply voltage at the high voltage level, the test pin supplies test information corresponding to the address information received.

Abstract: A power transfer device includes an oscillator circuit having a first node, a second node, and a control terminal. The oscillator circuit includes a cascode circuit comprising transistors having a first conductivity type and a first breakdown voltage. The cascode circuit is coupled to the control terminal, the first node, and the second node. The oscillator circuit includes a latch circuit coupled between the cascode circuit and a first power supply node. The latch circuit includes cross-coupled transistors having the first conductivity type and a second breakdown voltage. The first breakdown voltage is greater than the second breakdown voltage. The oscillator circuit may be configured to develop a pseudo-differential signal on the first node and the second node. The pseudo-differential signal may have a peak voltage of at least three times a voltage level of an input DC signal on a second power supply node.

Abstract: A power transfer device includes a first power supply node, a second power supply node, and an oscillator circuit configured to convert an input DC signal across the first power supply node and the second power supply node into an AC signal on a differential pair of nodes comprising a first node and a second node in response to a control signal. The oscillator circuit includes a regulated power supply node and an active shunt regulator circuit configured to clamp a peak voltage level across the regulated power supply node and the second power supply node to a clamped voltage level. The clamped voltage level is linearly related to a first voltage level on the first power supply node.

Abstract: An isolated power transfer device has a primary side and a secondary side isolated from the primary side by an isolation barrier. A secondary-side circuit includes a rectifier circuit coupled to a secondary-side conductive coil. The secondary-side circuit includes a first resistor coupled to a first power supply node and a terminal node. The secondary-side circuit includes a second resistor coupled to the terminal node and a second power supply node. The secondary-side circuit includes a first circuit to generate a feedback signal in response to a reference voltage and a signal on the terminal node. The feedback signal has a hysteretic band defined by the first resistor and the second resistor. The secondary-side circuit is configured as an AC/DC power converter that provides, on the first power supply node, an output DC signal having a voltage level based on a ratio of the first resistor to the second resistor.

Abstract: In one example, a semiconductor die includes multi-standard, multi-channel expandable television/satellite receiver that can be flexibly implemented in a number of different configurations to enable incorporation into a plurality of different systems. The semiconductor die may include multiple tuners to receive and tune a terrestrial radio frequency (RF) signal and a satellite RF signal. These tuners may include different frequency synthesizers including voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) to generate VCO signals at different frequencies, mixers to downconvert the RF signals to baseband signals using the VCO signals. In an implementation, the semiconductor die may further include shared circuitry coupled to the tuners to digitize, process and demodulate the baseband signals.
