Abstract: A transmitter circuit is disclosed. The transmitter circuit includes a frequency circuit configured to generate a frequency signal, a power amplifier configured to drive an antenna with a drive signal according to the frequency signal, and a programmable delay circuit configured to controllably extend a propagation delay between the frequency signal generated by the frequency circuit and the drive signal of the power amplifier. The programmable delay circuit is programmed with a programming value which causes the transmitter circuit to pass a calibration test.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a hybrid adaptive active noise control unit (HAANCU) configured to provide an anti-noise signal to an ear speaker from a reference noise signal of a reference microphone and an error signal of an error microphone, a decimator configured to decimate the reference noise signal and error signal, an adaptive hybrid ANC training unit (AHANCTU) including at least one noise cancellation filter and a filter configured to provide a feedback signal to the at least one noise cancellation, which trains parameters of the AHANCTU based on the decimated reference noise signal, the decimated error signal, and the feedback signal. The apparatus further includes a rate conversion unit configured to up-sample the parameters and update the HAANCU with the up-sampled parameters.

Abstract: Techniques are described for post-compensation of frequency drift due to changes in crystal oscillator temperature during operation. For example, a clock system is coupled with a crystal oscillator, and can use a reference clock signal from the crystal oscillator to generate an output clock signal using a clock generator. The clock system can monitor an electrical characteristic of a thermal component integrated with the oscillator, which it can map deterministically to a thermal value indicating a temperature of a crystal component of the oscillator. The clock system can then map the temperature deterministically to a frequency shift of the oscillator away from a nominal value. The clock system can then generate a post-compensation signal that directs the clock generator to shift the frequency of the clock output signal so as to compensate for at least a portion of the frequency drift.

Abstract: Techniques are described for power detection of an amplified signal. For example, power detection described herein can receive an amplified signal from a power amplifier, and can generate an output signal that can be fed back to help regulate an output level of the power amplifier. Embodiments receive the amplified signal can be received by a transistor. A first measurement can be obtained at the transistor's emitter corresponding to an average bias level of the amplified signal, and a second measurement can be obtained at the transistor's base. The output signal can be generated as a function of a difference between the two measurements. Some embodiments further compensate for a measured effective diode voltage corresponding to a base-emitter voltage. Such an approach can generate the power detector output signal to be independent of the β of the transistor, and therefore less affected by variations in process corners and temperature.

Abstract: Techniques are described for tuning a resonant circuit using differential switchable capacitors. For example, embodiments can operate in context of a power amplifier with a tunable resonant output network. To tune the network, multiple differential switchable capacitors are provided in parallel. Each differential switchable capacitor can include a pair of capacitors, each coupled between a respective internal node and a respective differential terminal; and the internal nodes are selectively coupled or decoupled using a respective electronic switch (e.g., transistor). Switching on one of the differential switchable capacitors forms a capacitive channel having an associated capacitance. Each differential switchable capacitor can also include a switch network to selectively pull the internal nodes to a high or low voltage reference according to the selected operating mode.

Abstract: Techniques are described for fast wakeup of a crystal oscillator circuit. Embodiments operate in context of a crystal oscillator coupled with a phase-locked loop (PLL). For example, prior to entering sleep mode, embodiments retain a previously obtained coarse code used to coarse-tune a voltage controlled oscillator of the PLL. On wakeup, the PLL is configured in a chirp mode, in which the retained coarse code and a sweep voltage are used to generate a chirp signal at, or close to, a target stimulating frequency for the crystal oscillator. The chirp signal can be used to inject energy into the crystal oscillator, thereby causing the crystal oscillator to move from sleep mode to steady state oscillation relatively quickly.
