Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a current mode transmitter having a first driver and a second driver. The first driver receives a single bit data stream. The second driver receives a delayed data stream corresponding to the single bit data stream delayed by a clock cycle. The current mode transmitter has a transition detector that generates a bulk modulation signal having a first value when the single bit data stream is the same as the delayed data stream and having a second value when the single bit data stream is different from the delayed data stream. The transition detector supplies the bulk modulation signal to the bulk terminals of driver switches of the first and second drivers.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a current mode transmitter. The current mode transmitter includes a first resistor and a second resistor. The resistance of the first resistor is adjusted by measuring the resistance, generating a resistance trimming code based on the measured resistance, and writing the first resistance trimming code to a first register. The resistance of the second resistor is adjusted by generating a second resistance trimming code based on the first resistance trimming code and writing the second resistance trimming code to a second register.

Abstract: An application-specific wireless communication network for use in an industrial environment based on parameters defined by the IEEE 802.11 standard, modified by providing software-defined control of an assigned operating frequency band and software-defined control of the channel size, allowing the channel size to be relatively small as appropriate for the particular industrial application. The application-specific wireless communication network further controls other parameters defined by the standard to configure at least optimum transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, transmission latency, and ACK-retransmit to values appropriate for the specific industrial application.

Abstract: A radio module is configured to operate within a specialized frequency band, for example a band that has recently become available for use in the public domain. Superheterodyne techniques are used by a transmitter component of the radio module to frequency shift a conventional wireless data signal (e.g., used for WiFi, LTE telecommunications, etc.) into a designated band; a receiver component of the radio module is similarly configured to receive signals transmitted on the designated band and shift back into the conventional RF band (where standard components are able to further process the received signal).
