    Abstract: A circuit includes a comparator circuit having a first input, a second input, a first output and a second output. The circuit also includes the first input configured to receive an input voltage of a power supply circuit and the second input configured to receive an output voltage of the power supply circuit. Additionally, the circuit includes the first output to provide the larger of the input voltage or the output voltage and the second output to provide a logic low signal responsive to the input voltage being less than the output voltage, and to provide a logic high signal responsive to the input voltage being greater than or equal to the output voltage.

    Abstract: Embodiments include methods of powerline communications using a preamble with band extension is provided. A method may include receiving a packet data unit PDU. Bit-level repetition is applied to at least a portion of the PDU to create a repeated portion. Interleaving is performed per a subchannel. Pilot tones are inserted in the interleaved portion. Each data tone is modulated with respect to a nearest one of the inserted pilot tones. The PDU is transmitted over a power line.

    Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a die pad having a first surface and a second, opposite, surface. A first component is directly attached to the first surface of the die pad through a first thermally conductive material. A second component is directly attached to the second surface of the die pad through a second thermally conductive material. At least a portion of the second component overlaps at least a portion of the first component. The microelectronic device further includes a first thermal shunt connecting the die pad to a first lead, and a second thermal shunt connecting the die pad to a second lead. The first thermal shunt is closer to a center of the first component than to a center of the second component. The second thermal shunt is closer to a center of the second component than to a center of the first component.
