Abstract: A system includes a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) configured to generate steam from a supply of feed water using exhaust gases. The HRSG includes a heater configured to receive a supply of steam and further heat the steam. The heater includes a first manifold and a first set of branch connections circumferentially spaced about a first circumferential axis of the first manifold. Each of the branch connections routes a fluid jet of steam into a lumen of the first manifold.

Abstract: A link layer to physical layer (PHY) serial interface is disclosed. In one aspect, a system on a chip (SoC) integrated circuit (IC) includes a link layer circuit, and a remote IC includes a Universal Serial Bus (USB) PHY circuit. A bus having four or fewer wires connects the two ICs. A link bridge communicates with the link layer circuit and serializes USB Transceiver Macrocell Interface (UTMI) signaling received from the link layer circuit as high speed (HS) USB messages for transmission to the remote IC. The link bridge also receives HS messages from the USB PHY circuit on the remote IC. The link bridge deserializes the HS messages to extract UTMI signaling and passes the extracted UTMI signaling to the link layer circuit.

Abstract: In a particular embodiment, an electronic device includes a direct current (DC) voltage source coupled to a DC interface. The electronic device includes a receiver sense circuit configured to detect a connection of the electronic device to a sink device via a connector without consuming power from the DC voltage source. The electronic device further includes a controller coupled to a hot plug detect (HPD) interface. The controller is configured to receive a detection signal from the receiver sense circuit, selectively control a switch to enable and disable the DC voltage source based on the detection signal, detect an HPD signal at the HPD interface after enabling the DC voltage source, and disable the receiver sense circuit in response to detecting the HPD signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for producing reference voltages are disclosed. An example bandgap reference circuit includes a core bandgap module that produces a bias control for biasing the gate of a transistor to produce a proportional to absolute temperature current. The core bandgap module may use an operational amplifier that uses auto-calibration to reduce its input offset voltage. A trimming module uses the bias control to produce a proportional to absolute temperature current that is combined with a trim current and supplied to a resistor and diode to produce a trimmed bandgap voltage. The trimmed bandgap voltage is buffered to produce a reference voltage output. The trim current may be set based on a room temperature measurement of the reference voltage output.

Abstract: A gated voltage controlled oscillator has four identically structured delay cells, each of the delay cells having the same output load by connecting to the same number of inputs of other ones of the delay cells. Optionally a four phase sampling clock selects from the delay cell output and samples, at a four phase sampler, an input signal. Optionally an edge detector synchronizes the phase of the gated voltage controlled oscillator to coincide with NRZ bits. Optionally a variable sampling rate selects different phases from the delay cells to selectively sample NRZ bits at a lower rate. Optionally, a pulse width modulation (PWM) mode synchronizes a phase of the sampling clock to sample PWM symbols and recover encoded bits.

Abstract: System and method for testing a high speed data path without generating a high speed bit clock, includes selecting a first high speed data path from a plurality of data paths for testing. Coherent clock data patterns are driven on one or more of remaining data paths of the plurality of data paths, wherein the coherent clock data patterns are in coherence with a low speed base clock. The first high speed data path is sampled by the coherent clock data patterns to generate a sampled first high speed data path, which is then tested at a speed of the low speed base clock.
