  • Patent number: 12261725
    Abstract: An isolated gate driver includes a first input terminal to receive gate information and one or more input terminals to receive configuration information. A modulation circuit generates a modulated signal having four possible states, each of the four possible states corresponding to a different unique pair of values of the gate information and the configuration information. The modulation circuit represents two of the states using on-off keying (OOK) while the configuration information is at a first value and represents two of the states as a modification to the OOK modulation based on the configuration information being at a second value. The modulated signal is sent over an isolation communication channel coupling a transmitter and receiver of the isolated gate driver.

  • Patent number: 12237952
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to perform receiver-side noise statistics (Rnn) estimation and for an extended reality (XR) device to perform log likelihood ratio (LLR) scaling estimation. For example, the UE may transmit a first set of reference signals to the XR device. The XR device may sample the reference signals and transmit an indication of quantized samples such that the UE may perform Rnn estimations and generate a pre-equalization matrix. The UE may transmit a set of pre-equalized reference signals to the XR device such that the XR device may estimate LLR scaling coefficients. In some examples, the UE may determine the pre-equalization matrix by performing a filtering of reference signal measurements. The UE may apply whitening to account for momentary interference, and may indicate a whitening matrix to the XR device.

  • Patent number: 12218675
    Abstract: An analog PLL employs digital circuitry for calibration and characterization, precisely setting and maintaining the bandwidth of the PLL. A digital calibration circuit calibrates the value of a resistor or capacitor in the loop filter to yield a desired RC product. A digital control circuit reads time-to-digital converters (TDC) digitizing the length of the CU and CD pulses from the phase-frequency detector (PFD) to the charge pump (CP) during a frequency change. These pulse lengths are summed to yield a measured integral CP current. The control circuit determines an integral CP current that yields a desired bandwidth, regardless of the VCO tuning sensitivity, based on the calibrated RC product. The CP current is then adjusted by the ratio of determined integral CP current to the measured integral CP current. The digital circuits do not increase power consumption or adversely affect system operation.
