Abstract: Methods for operating two or more analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are presented herein. The method may be implemented in an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include a first ADC and a second ADC disposed on a single semiconductor die. The integrated circuit may also include logic circuitry operably coupled to the first and second ADCs. For a digital value obtained by conversion, by the first ADC, of a first analog signal sampled by the first ADC during a period of time overlapping with another period of time during which a second analog signal is being converted by the second ADC, the logic circuitry may be configured to cause the digital value to be marked as noisy.

Abstract: A method for configuring a target peripheral via a hardware request is provided. The method includes receiving a hardware request from one of a plurality of initiator peripherals, receiving a configuration selection from the requesting initiator peripheral, and selecting a configuration from a plurality of hardware memory locations based at least in part on the configuration selection. The method also includes configuring one or more signal processing modules within the target peripheral based at least in part on the configuration, receiving a signal from an electronic device, and processing the signal from the electronic device with the one or more signal processing modules. The method further includes transmitting a processed signal from the signal processing modules to the requesting initiator peripheral.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamically protecting against security vulnerabilities in a reconfigurable signal chain. The system includes a signal chain formed from at least a first component connected with a second component. The first component has a set of source outputs and a first authentication block, and the second signal chain component has a set of destination inputs and a second authentication block. The system also includes a signal chain configurator that populates the first authentication block with at least one validated endpoint from the set of destination inputs. A signal chain integrity block, which is communicatively coupled with the first authentication block and the second authentication block, identifies a source-destination pair from one or more endpoint pairs formed from the at least one validated endpoint and the set of source outputs. The signal chain integrity block propagates the source-destination pair to the first authentication block and the second authentication block.
