Abstract: A communication device includes an antenna, at least one magnetic field sensor, a communication component, and a controller. The antenna generates a magnetic field and communicates with an external device that generates a magnetic field during communication. The at least one magnetic field sensor includes a pair of sensor elements. The at least one magnetic field sensor detects magnetic field strength by receiving the magnetic field of the antenna and the magnetic field of the external device. The communication component communicates with the external device via the antenna. The controller processes output signal indicative of the magnetic field strength detected by the at least one magnetic field sensor. A component of the magnetic field of the antenna in the output signal is suppressed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include a shared hardware integer/floating point divider and square root logic unit, which combines floating point division, floating point square root operations, and/or integer division into one shared hardware design. The shared hardware logic unit can share, for example, a sparse random access memory (sparse RAM) in place of a full partial remainder divisor (PD) table, one or more on-the-fly (OTF) state machines, and/or a data path for integer division, floating point division, and square root operations. The normalization of subnormal numbers and the normalization of signed and unsigned integers can be handled with shared hardware. The division operations and the square root operations can be of the same radix. Early out exceptions and special cases can be automatically handled. Both improved latency and less die area can be achieved in accordance with embodiments of the inventive concept.
