Abstract:
An input buffer for an integrated circuit and providing reduced sensitivity to input noise present in a transmission line environment. This input buffer deskews an input signal where the rise time is much slower than the fall time, such as that from an open-collector output driver, so that the rising edge propagation delay and falling edge propagation delay of the input buffer are approximately equal.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing a flexible medium access control device (32). The medium access control (MAC) device includes four configurable transmit and receive modes for communicating with a physical layer signaling control device. The four modes are controlled by a processor (36) and a transceiver interface (38). In operation, the modes enable the MAC device to transmit and receive MAC data to and from the physical layer signaling control device, and to optionally transmit and receive PHY data to and from the physical layer signaling control device, thereby providing compatibility between a MAC device and a radio (34), regardless of the physical layer functionality of the radio.

Abstract:
An apparatus for ensuring that creating the necessary control signalling of multiple implementations of the power ramp operation of a radio transmitter as described. The apparatus provides for a flexible ramp up and ramp down to a plurality of sections of a radio in a wireless local area network. The apparatus includes a plurality of control pins, and a user programmable device for configuring the control pins to provide programmable ramp up and ramp down signals to the plurality of sections of the radio. Accordingly, it is possible to program the ramp up and ramp down function of the radio. The apparatus also ensures that a radio in a wireless local area network does not inappropriately enter into an active state. The apparatus utilizes the user programmable device to configure the control pins to ensure that a signal and its complementary signal are both provided to the radio to ensure that the appropriate signal is utilized to activate the radio.
