Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to selectively enable relatively higher data throughput and higher power WiFi bidirectional wireless protocol capability during times of system wireless activity, and to selectively disable the WiFi bidirectional wireless protocol and enable relatively lower data throughput and lower power wireless protocol capability during the absence of such system wireless activity. The systems and methods may be implemented to enable bi-directional wireless communication and/or external activation of a wireless device both during times of wireless device activity and during times in which wireless device activity is absent and/or a wireless device is inactive and not transmitting.

Abstract: On-chip decoupling capacitors and methods for placing the same are disclosed in which designated spaces are created between the active circuits to insert designated capacitor cells. The designated capacitor cells may be placed in designated areas of the integrated circuit that are not simply spaces left empty by cell placement or frontier areas in or around the route, and the dimensions (e.g., height) of the designated capacitor cells may be selected to optimize (increase) capacitance efficiency. The capacitor cells may also be placed to target and reduce the interference between a digital core (aggressor) circuit and a victim analog circuit.
