Abstract: An online monitoring unit and a control circuit for ultra-wide voltage range applications are disclosed. Compared with a conventional online monitoring unit, the present invention eliminates the need to reserve delay units, replaces flip-flops in the conventional online monitoring unit with a latch, and uses a transition detector with fewer transistors than that of a shadow latch in the conventional online monitoring unit, thereby reducing the area and the power consumption of the online monitoring unit significantly and improving the energy efficiency of online monitoring techniques. In addition, in the ultra-wide voltage range applications, the time borrowing property of the latch adopted by the present invention can be utilized to prevent a timing error caused by PVT variations, thus enabling the minimization of timing margin and ensuring higher power efficiency. The present invention also discloses a control circuit for use with the online monitoring unit.

Abstract: A PVTM-based wide voltage range clock stretching circuit is disclosed. The circuit consists of a PVTM circuit module, a phase clock generation module, a clock synchronization selection module and a control module. The PVTM circuit module monitors in real time the delay information of an on-chip delay unit to monitor the operating environment of the circuit, and feeds the delay information back to the control module. Under the control of a clock stretching enable signal and a clock stretching extent signal, the control module selects a target phase clock from the clocks generated by the phase clock generation module in accordance with the feedback from the PVTM, enabling the stretching of system clock within a single cycle in different PVT conditions. Sophisticated gate devices are not required, and the cost of area and power consumption are kept to minimal.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a low power supply voltage double-conversion radio frequency receiving front end, which can work at a lower power supply voltage in a passive frequency conversion mode; a first frequency conversion unit and a second frequency conversion unit of the front end are directly cascaded, and a second orthogonal passive frequency conversion shifts a low input impedance of a transimpedance amplifier to an intermediate frequency, so as to construct a band-pass filtering function for radio frequency current; and the radio frequency current which has undergone two frequency conversions is converted into an output intermediate frequency voltage via the transimpedance amplifier. Compared with the traditional active+active or active+passive double conversion mode, the present invention omits intermediate-stage active circuits and filtering circuits, thereby saving power consumption and layout area, and realizing sufficient rejection on an image signal while ensuring a high conversion gain.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a joint non-coherent integral vector tracking method based on a spatial domain, which is used for further improving the performance of a vector tracking GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver. In a new vector tracking strategy design, a phase discriminator/a frequency discriminator in a traditional vector tracking loop is discarded, and baseband signals of visible satellites in each channel are taken as an observation value after performing non-coherent integration, and EKE (abbreviation of Extended Kalman Filter) is used to estimate directly and to solve the position, the velocity, a clock error, etc. of the GPS receiver. Because of the existence of non-coherent integral calculation, when GPS satellite signals are relatively weak, a carrier to noise ratio of an observation value may be effectively improved, and the tracking sensitivity is improved.

The mid-frequency current signal passes through the transresistance amplifier, to form voltage output, and finally obtain a mid-frequency voltage signal. The transresistance amplifier has a transconductance-enhancing structure, thereby further reducing input impedance, and improving current utilization efficiency and port isolation. The frequency mixer has the characteristics of low power consumption, high conversion gain, good port isolation, and the like.
