Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a first circuit layer that includes a first wireless power transfer (WPT) device, a first chip electrically connected to the first circuit layer, and a first tracking circuit disposed in the first chip. The first WPT device may be configured to extract energy from an electromagnetic signal and provide an output voltage. The first tracking circuit may be powered by the output voltage of the first WPT device and may output tracking data in response to an instruction extracted from the electromagnetic signal.

Abstract: A calibration procedure that uses direct measurement of digital phase error performance for low cost calibration of all-digital phase locked loop (ADPLL)/digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) is described. Direct measurement of digital phase error, or difference in digital phase error, is used to adjust the operating point of the DCO and thereby determine the operating point that provides the optimal phase noise of the output signal. Calibration may be performed at any time so that changes in external factors such as process, voltage and temperature (PVT) may be incorporated into the setting of the operating point of the DCO.

Abstract: A composite integrated circuit (IC) includes a first circuit layer, a second circuit layer having a first chip and a second chip, and a first wireless power transfer (WPT) device in the first chip or the first circuit layer. The first WPT device generates a power supply voltage by extracting energy from an electromagnetic signal. A first tracking circuit in the second chip or the first circuit layer is powered by the power supply voltage from the first WPT device and stores or outputs tracking data in response to an instruction extracted from the electromagnetic signal.
