  • Publication number: 20140194160
    Abstract: A charging system for a mobile device includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes (a) a first interface to a power source; (b) a second interface to the receiver; (c) a polarity detection circuit for detecting polarities of the; and (d) first and second switches controlled by the polarity detection circuit, wherein each switch selectively connects a terminal of the first interface to a terminal of the second interface. The receiver includes: (a) a first interface; (b) a second interface coupled to a device to be charged; and (c) a connection circuit between a terminal of the first interface and a terminal of the second interface, wherein the connection circuit is conductive when the voltage across these terminals is of a first polarity, and a second polarity otherwise.

  • Patent number: 8552804
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an adjustable oscillator circuit configured to generate an output signal having a frequency that varies responsive to a frequency control signal and a frequency reference generator circuit configured to produce a frequency reference signal. The apparatus further includes a calibration circuit configured to determine a relationship of the output signal to the frequency reference signal and to enable and disable the frequency reference generator circuit based on the determined relationship.

  • Patent number: 7586347
    Abstract: A clock generator includes a phase-lock loop for generating an output clock signal based on a reference clock signal. The phase-lock loop includes a charge pump, a low-pass filter, and a self-bias circuit. The low-pass filter generates a bias voltage and the self-bias circuit generates a charge current based on the bias voltage. The charge pump generates an output based on the charge current to maintain a constant open-loop bandwidth of the phase-lock loop.
