Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: an antenna switch to receive a first radio frequency (RF) signal from a first antenna and a second RF signal from a second antenna and controllable to output a selected one of the first and second RF signals; an RF circuit to receive and process the first and second RF signals; at least one mixer to downconvert the first and second RF signals to first and second baseband signals; and an antenna diversity control circuit to receive sub-symbol portions of a first plurality of symbols of the first baseband signal and sub-symbol portions of a second plurality of symbols of the second baseband signal, and control the antenna switch to output one of the first and second RF signals, based at least in part on one or more of the sub-symbol portions of the first and second pluralities of symbols.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a clock management unit that selectively provides a clock signal, an energy management circuit that provides an internal power supply voltage to an internal voltage rail in response to an external power supply voltage, and has a capacitor coupled between the internal voltage rail and a reference voltage terminal, and a clocked digital circuit that is coupled to the internal voltage rail and the reference voltage terminal and operates in synchronism with the clock signal. The clock management unit provides the clock signal at a first frequency during a standby state, continuously at a second frequency higher than the first frequency during an active state, and during a first clock cycle following an end of the standby state while suppressing the clock signal during at least one subsequent clock cycle during a transition state between the standby state and the active state.

Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus includes: a first time-to-data converter (TDC) to oversample a first duration of incoming data and hold the oversampled first duration during receipt of a second duration of the incoming data; a second TDC to oversample the second duration of the incoming data and hold the oversampled second duration during receipt of a third duration of the incoming data; a processing circuit coupled to the first and second TDCs, the processing circuit including a first filter to filter the oversampled first duration and the oversampled second duration and generate a control output therefrom; and a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) coupled to the processing circuit to receive the control output and generate a recovery clock signal therefrom.

Abstract: A spur target frequency is periodically determined to cancel a spur using a spur cancellation circuit in a first phase-locked loop (PLL) in a system with at least a second PLL that is in lock with the first PLL. The spur target frequency is periodically determined utilizing divide ratios of the first PLL and the second PLL to determine the updated spur target frequency. As one or more of the divide ratios change, the spur frequency changes and the spur target frequency is updated to reflect the change.

Abstract: A flash memory controller is operative to receive serial commands and command arguments. A flash permissions table identifies each segment of flash memory as READ_ONLY, PRIVATE_R/W or OPEN_R/W. A memory interface is coupled to a flash memory and also the flash permissions table. When a flash memory write operation is received with an associated command argument corresponding to an address indicated as READ_ONLY in the flash permissions table and a DISABLE_WR_REG is true, the write operation is ignored or converted into a non-write command and issued to the flash memory.

Abstract: A mesh receiver has a wakeup receiver for reception of a wakeup sequence formed by keyed RF or a sequence of wireless packets and gaps, a transmitter forming low speed RF wakeup sequence to other mesh stations, a mesh receiver for reception of high speed WLAN packets, the transmitter sending a wireless ACK packet in response to a wakeup sequence, the mesh receiver thereafter receiving wireless packets from a remote station, the mesh transmitter sending an ACK, the mesh station thereafter identifying a next hop station, and sending a wakeup sequence to that station, after receipt of an ACK, sending the data, the mesh receiver and mesh transmitter thereafter going to sleep.

Abstract: An optimized system and method for determining an angle of arrival or angle of departure is disclosed. A coarse pre-search is performed to identify the general location of the incoming signal. Based on this information, a high-resolution search is performed at the general location identified in the coarse pre-search. This multi-stage approach significantly reduces the number of computations that must be performed by the device, and also reduces the amount of memory that is required to store the results of the computations. For example, a full scan may require the computations to be performed over 32,000 times. Through use of this approach, the number of computations may be reduced by over 97%. This is a similar reduction in computation time and in the amount of memory consumed by this method.

Abstract: A system and method for determining whether a cryptographic system is being observed for power consumption analysis in an attempt to decipher secret keys. The system comprises a first external connection to receive an input voltage, an internal voltage regulator with an external capacitor to produce the desired voltage for the cryptographic system. The internal voltage regulator typically includes a switch that passes current from the first external connection to the external capacitor. By monitoring the frequency at which the switch is activated, it is possible to detect that an external voltage is being applied to the external capacitor. This external voltage is typically used to perform SPA or DPA operations. Thus, the cryptographic system may cease performing any encryption or decryption operations if an external voltage is detected.

Abstract: A method for reducing deterministic jitter in a clock generator includes providing a load current through a regulated voltage node to a circuit responsive to a divide ratio. The method includes providing an auxiliary current through the regulated voltage node. The auxiliary current has a first current level during a first period corresponding to a first value of the divide ratio and the auxiliary current has a second current level during a second period corresponding to a second value of the divide ratio.
