  • Publication number: 20220200781
    Abstract: A quadrature clock generator that takes advantage of the inherently low delay of a shunt-series inductively peaked clock buffer to generate quadrature clocks with the high jitter performance using just one additional stage in Q path compared to I path. The generator includes a delay cell that uses shunt-series peaking and uses a resistive DAC in series with the shunt inductor to provide a large delay range with good jitter characteristics. The resistive DAC can be placed near a real or a virtual ground to minimize capacitive loading on the signal path. This delay cell can provide greater than 2× delay tuning range and is suitable for clocks at high frequencies. This delay cell can also be used as a ring oscillator with large frequency tuning range. A low voltage differential signaling termination switch control that uses feed forward mechanism to control termination impedance of device in a receiver.

  • Publication number: 20220189449
    Abstract: A feedback noise reduction method, a feedback noise reduction system, and an earphone are provided. In the method, a channel morphological parameter of an acoustic channel between a microphone and a speaker in a feedback noise reduction system is detected; the feedback noise reduction system is switched from using a first noise reduction filter to using a second noise reduction filter in a case that it is determined that the acoustic channel is in an interfered state based on the channel morphological parameter; and a noise reduction signal is generated by using the second noise reduction filter to cancel a noise signal received by the feedback noise reduction system. A frequency response of the second noise reduction filter in a predetermined frequency band is less than a frequency response of the first noise reduction filter in the predetermined frequency band.

  • Publication number: 20220147482
    Abstract: An apparatus enables a high-bandwidth 4-way data serializing (4:1 serializer) digital-to-analog converter. The apparatus uses active inductor-based bandwidth extension technique for two-stage driver enabling design of quarter-rate 4-way data serializing transmitter. The 4:1 serializer output bandwidth is extended by gate-resistor-peaked n-type transistor load working as an active inductor. A current steering switch with current source is used as the final driver. The 4:1 serializer includes a pulse width tuning technique with tunable ground voltage on the ground terminal of a pulse generator to tune an effective threshold voltage of the pulse generator. A Bessel-like LC filter is coupled to an output of the 4:1 serializer. The filter includes shunt peaking paths that provide zeros, which natively cancel large parasitic capacitance at a shunt peaking node. As such, active and passive devices including driver circuitry, ESD diodes, and any other sensing circuitry are flexibly added on any LC filter nodes.
