Abstract: A time-interleaved clock circuit, including circuitry to provide multiple clock components of a sampling clock. The clock components are corrected by averaging pairs of the multiple clock components in order to output averaged signals. The time-interleaved clock is applied to data conversion in which input signals of the analog signal domain or of the digital signal domain are sampled based on the corrected clock components and converted to the digital signal domain or the analog signal domain, respectively.

Abstract: A time-interleaved digital-to-analog converter (DAC) architecture is provided. The DAC architecture includes a multiplexer/encoder configured to receive a data signal and to generate a plurality of data streams based on the data signal. First and second DAC circuits receive respective first and second data streams of the plurality of data streams and selectively process the respective first and second data streams to generate a respective DAC output signal. The respective DAC output signals of the first and second DAC circuits are coupled together to provide an output signal of the DAC architecture.

Abstract: A phase alignment architecture enhances the performance of communication systems. The architecture aligns a divided clock (e.g., in differential Inphase (I) and Quadrature (Q)) to a main clock, even at extremely high speeds, where skew variations of the divided clock are comparable to the main clock period. The improvement in phase alignment facilitates ultra high-speed communications.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting closed loop deep brain stimulation on an individual, and more specifically, for receiving local field potential neural signals, encoding and filtering the signals into the logarithmic domain, processing the signals, and determining optimal stimulation parameters for deep brain stimulation based on the processed neural signals. The system and method may also include an RF-DC converter such that the system may be powered in whole or in part based on radio frequency signals. The system and method may also include an RF transceiver such that the system may transmit data wirelessly to an external receiver, or may receive stimulation parameters wirelessly from an external transceiver.
