    Abstract: Equalizer circuitry includes a differential target voltage input, an equalizer output, a first operational amplifier, and a second operational amplifier. The differential target voltage input includes a target voltage input node and an inverted target voltage input node. The first operational amplifier and the second operational amplifier are coupled in series between the differential target voltage input and the equalizer output. The first operational amplifier is configured to receive a target voltage signal and provide an intermediate signal based on the target voltage input signal. The second operational amplifier is configured to receive the intermediate signal and an inverted target voltage signal and provide an output signal to the equalizer output. The first operational amplifier and the second operational amplifier are interconnected with one or more passive components such that a transfer function between the differential target voltage input and the equalizer output is a second-order complex-zero function.

    Abstract: A digital audio playback circuit includes a noise shaping circuit configured to receive an input digital audio signal, and a digital to analog converter (DAC) configured to convert the input digital audio signal to a pre-amplified output analog audio signal according to a gain ramp defined by a gain control signal. A muting circuit is configured to compare input digital audio signal to a threshold and assert a mute control signal when the input digital audio signal is below the threshold. An analog gain control ramp circuit is configured to generate the gain control signal in response to the mute control signal to cause the gain ramp to ramp down. An amplifier is configured to amplify the pre-amplified output analog audio signal for playback by an audio playback device.

    Abstract: A sign switching circuitry is disclosed. In one aspect, the sign switching circuitry includes a first and second differential common-source amplifier having common differential input nodes and common differential output nodes configured such that a differential input signal applied at the common differential input nodes is amplified to a differential output signal at the common differential output nodes with a fixed gain by the first amplifier and by the fixed gain with opposite sign by the second amplifier. The sign switching circuitry also includes a switching circuitry configured to activate the first common-source amplifier and deactivate the second common-source amplifier to amplify the differential input signal by the fixed gain, and to activate the second common-source amplifier and deactivate the first common-source amplifier to amplify the differential input signal by the fixed gain with opposite sign.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for a tire pressure monitoring system. Embodiments may include a first amplifier associated with a plurality of amplifiers that is configured to receive a signal. The plurality of amplifiers may be configured to generate a first output, wherein generating includes filtering the signal and increasing an amplitude of the signal. A fixed threshold comparator may be configured to receive the first output and to generate a second output, based upon, at least in part, the first output, wherein the second output has the same frequency as the signal. Automatic gain control logic may be configured to receive the second output and determine a number of cycles in a given time period, the automatic gain control logic may be further configured to determine whether a revision to a setting of the automatic gain control logic is necessary.
