    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a transformer-based impedance matching network that may dynamically change its characteristic impedance by engaging different inductor branches on a primary side and optionally, on the secondary side. A primary side transformer circuit includes a primary inductor (311) and secondary inductor (321) configured to provide impedance matching over a first frequency band. One or more additional inductor branches (314A, 314B, are switchably coupled to either or both of the primary and secondary inductors to modify the impedance matching characteristics over additional operating frequencies. One or more LC filter branches (321, 322, 326, 327, 336, 330) can be included at the output of the secondary side to filter harmonic frequencies in each of the operating frequency bands.

    Abstract: A stacked transformer or inductor apparatus including a first layer with a first layer wire element extending around a center axis and a second layer with a second layer wire element. The second layer element includes side by side first and second wire components in parallel spaced relation extending around the center axis and the first wire component is connected to the first layer wire element to form a primary turn winding. A third layer includes a third layer wire element extending around the center axis and connected to the second wire component of the second layer wire element to form a secondary turn winding partially overlapping with the primary turn winding.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method to provide a high speed digital signal processor may implemented in a substantially all digital transmitter designs. In an embodiment, input binary bits are divided into two sets of bits, where one set is provided to a binary to thermometer coder to generate an output mixed with a clock signal to operatively provide a reverse order inverted bit pattern. The other set of binary bits is subject to exclusive-or processing such that processing of the two sets operatively provides a mixed hybrid code to be fed from high speed digital signal processor. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for fanning out a signal from a balun. In various aspects, the system can include a balun configured to receive a signal for transmission at an input and to provide a representation of the signal at an output, a plurality of pass gate circuits, each pass gate circuit configured to receive the representation of the signal at a first node, to receive a control signal at a second node to pass the representation of the signal to a third node when the control signal is in a first state, and to isolate the representation of the signal from the third node when the control signal is in a second state. The first state of the control signal can include a non-zero voltage, and the second state of the control signal can include the non-zero voltage with a polarity opposite the non-zero voltage of the first state.

    Abstract: A method of reducing voltage variations in a power supply may include generating an intermediate voltage and setting a first-transistor gate voltage at a first-transistor gate of a first transistor of the power supply based on the intermediate voltage. The method may also include setting an output voltage at an output node of the power supply based on a second-transistor gate voltage at a second-transistor gate of a second transistor. Additionally, the method may include setting the second-transistor gate voltage based on the first-transistor gate voltage such that the output voltage is based on the intermediate voltage, a first-transistor threshold voltage of the first transistor, and a second-transistor threshold voltage of the second transistor and such that variations in the first-transistor threshold voltage and the second-transistor threshold voltage at least partially cancel each other out.

    Abstract: A method of performing complementary mixing may include performing an exclusive OR (XOR) function with respect to an I-channel symbol based on an oscillator signal to produce an I-channel output signal with bits that alternate between the I-channel symbol and a complement of the I-channel symbol in response to the oscillator signal rising and falling. The method may also include performing the XOR function with respect to a Q-channel symbol based on the oscillator signal to produce a Q-channel output signal with bits that alternate between the Q-channel symbol and a complement of the Q-channel symbol in response to the oscillator signal. Further, the method may include combining the I-channel output signal and the Q-channel output signal based on adding operations performed with respect to an I-channel extra bit signal, a Q-channel extra bit signal, the I-channel output signal, and the Q-channel output signal to generate a complementary mixed signal.
