  • Patent number: 11880607
    Abstract: A self-repair memory circuit includes a cell array, a controller, a row repair decoder, and a column repair decoder. The cell array includes rows and columns of memory cells. The controller receives an input indicating row repair or column repair, and a repair address shared by the row repair and the column repair of the cell array. The row repair decoder maps the repair address of a defective row to a redundant row of the cell array when the input indicates the row repair. The column repair decoder maps the repair address of a defective column to another column of the cell array when the input indicates the column repair.

  • Patent number: 11877321
    Abstract: A multi-link device (MLD) monitors each of first and second links in a multi-link operation in wireless communications, with the first link being a primary link and the second link being a secondary link. The MLD obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on one of the first link and the second link as a result of performing a contention-based channel access on the first link and the second link. The MLD checks channel status of the other of the first link and the second link. The MLD then transmits one or more frames on the first link but not on the second link, on the second link but not on the first link, or on both the first link and the second link synchronously, responsive to the channel status of the other link given the TXOP being obtained on the one of the first link and the second link.

  • Publication number: 20230412184
    Abstract: Techniques for compensating high-speed digital-to-analog converters (DACs) for static mismatch are described. In ideal circumstances, the current sources of a DAC are identical to each other, leading to a frequency response presenting a relatively flat noise spectrum. In the presence of mismatch, however, the response creates unwanted spurious content, which can negatively affect the DAC's dynamic range. The techniques described herein involve randomized thermometric encoders. First, the direction in which a packet contracts or expands, depending on the value to be encoded, can be randomized. Second, pairs of values in a packet (and/or pairs of values outside the packet) can be swapped with one another in a randomized fashion. Third, the decision of whether to apply randomization or not can itself be randomized. By applying one or more of the randomization techniques described herein, the negative effects of switch timing offset and errors in DC linearity can be mitigated.
