Patents by Inventor Dharma Reddy Kadam

Dharma Reddy Kadam has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9553567
    Abstract: Embodiments provide, among other things, a circuit including a frequency generator and a charge pump. In embodiments, the frequency generator may be configured to provide the charge pump with a clock signal at a first frequency for a predefined period of time. Thereafter, the frequency generator may provide the charge pump with a clock signal at one or more other frequencies. In embodiments, the first frequency may enable the charge pump to settle in a reduced period of time when compared with the one or more other frequencies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 3, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 24, 2017

  • Patent number: 8774735
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to RF front-end (RFFE) circuitry that includes multiple RFFE circuits, each of which may be provided by a separate integrated circuit (IC), front-end module, or both. As such, the RFFE circuits may be connected to one another using an RFFE serial communications bus. Further, one or more of the RFFE circuits may need an accurate clock source for analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), calibration, sensor measurements, or the like. Instead of including an integral clock source circuit or receiving a separate external clock signal, an RFFE circuit may extract clock information from the RFFE serial communications bus to provide one or more clock signals. The clock information may be associated with one or more serial communications commands via the RFFE serial communications bus, may be associated with alternate functionality of the RFFE serial communications bus, or both.
