    Abstract: A method includes receiving a first measurement signal representing a first time between transitions of a motor commutation state. The method further includes receiving a second measurement signal representing a second time between transitions of a motor floating terminal voltage. The method further includes determining a motor speed state based on a combination of the first and second measurement signals, determining a motor commutation state based on the motor speed state and the motor floating terminal voltage; and providing a control signal to a motor inverter based on the motor commutations state.

    Abstract: A voltage monitoring circuit is configured to monitor the input voltage in a power converter and to assert a reset signal to disable operation of the power converter in response to the input voltage falling below a threshold level. The voltage monitoring circuit may include a power-on-reset (POR) block that asserts the reset signal in response to the input voltage falling below a first threshold at a first rate, and a brown-out block that asserts the reset signal in response to the input voltage falling below a second threshold at a faster second rate (e.g., the input voltage falls quickly to zero or near zero such as during a brown-out event). The brown-out block includes a backup supply voltage that maintains some positive voltage level even in the absence of the input voltage for a certain period of time and a discharge circuit designed to quickly assert the reset signal.

    Abstract: In examples, a method for manufacturing a package comprises coupling first and second semiconductor dies to a first surface of a conductive terminal; applying a dry film to a second surface of the conductive terminal opposite the first surface; removing a portion of the dry film contacting the second surface to form a dry film opening, the dry film opening having a linear, non-curved edge extending along a width of the conductive terminal; etching the second surface through the dry film opening; removing the dry film; plating the second surface; and sawing through the conductive terminal to form the package.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to protect against voltage glitch attacks in microcontrollers. An example apparatus includes logic circuitry operable to, in response to a voltage glitch, pause processing circuitry; number generator circuitry operable to generate a number; a counter operable to, after the voltage glitch ends, adjust a count corresponding to the number; and the logic circuitry operable to unpause the processing circuitry after the count reaches a value.

    Abstract: A method for encoding video data is provided that includes determining whether or not a parent coding unit of a coding unit of the video data was predicted in intra-prediction block copy (IntraBC) mode and, when it is determined that the parent coding unit was not predicted in IntraBC mode: computing activity of the coding unit, determining an IntraBC coding cost of the coding unit by computing the IntraBC coding cost of the coding unit using a two dimensional (2D) search when the activity of the coding unit is not than an activity threshold, and computing the IntraBC coding cost of the coding unit using a one dimensional (1D) search when the activity of the coding unit is less than the activity threshold, using the IntraBC coding cost to select an encoding mode from one of a plurality of encoding modes, encoding the coding unit using the selected encoding mode.

    Abstract: A receiver circuit includes a feedback loop including a device. The receiver circuit also includes a register and a sequencer. The sequencer is configured to, responsive to an error signal being below a threshold value, cause the register to store a value indicative of the state of the feedback loop. The sequencer is also configured to cause the feedback loop to transition to a lower power state, and, responsive to a detected wake-up event, cause the previously stored value indicative of the state of the feedback loop to be loaded from the register into the device and enable the feedback loop.
