Patents by Inventor Andreas Michael Schoch

Andreas Michael Schoch has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11940863
    Abstract: Described herein is a technology for a wakeup pattern-data stream correlation by a detector to provide a trigger condition for a microcontroller in a wakeup receiver (WuRX). For example, the detector includes a data packet layer with a plurality of index registers that are updated through sampling of data streams. A sample clock is coupled to each of the plurality of index registers to independently activate each of the plurality of index registers. A shared comparator will then compare the updated plurality of index registers to corresponding shift registers that are initialized with rotating wakeup pattern bits. Based upon a number of matching results, the detector generates a triggering signal that facilitates a low-power operating mode to a high-power operating mode change.

  • Patent number: 9887701
    Abstract: In described examples, an apparatus includes: a counter configured to receive a reference clock signal and having a next state input and a current state output; a multiplexer coupled to the next state input of the counter, configured to output one of an incremented next state value and a corrected next state count value responsive to a count correction select control signal; a seconds reference circuit coupled to the current state output of the counter, configured to output a seconds reference signal; an incrementer coupled to the current state output of the counter, configured to output the incremented next state value; and a calibration compensation circuit coupled to a compensate up down input signal and to the current state output of the counter, configured to output the corrected next state count value and the count correction select control signal.
