Abstract: This disclosure describes apparatuses, methods, and techniques that enable a computing device to support a dynamic range of audio quality, varying bandwidths, varying sampling rates, numerous effective number of bits (ENOBs) resolutions, conserve power during an overall usage of the computing device, and enhance a user experience. To do so, the computing device utilizes a reconfigurable analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The reconfigurable ADC includes a successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC, a noise-canceling circuit, and a noise-shaping circuit. The reconfigurable ADC can selectively operate in different modes of operation, in part, by enabling or disabling the noise-canceling circuit and the noise-shaping circuit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method that includes calculating a first frequency drift associated with an oscillator at a current temperature; based on the calculation, generating a first signal indicative of temperature compensation data; generating a second signal indicative of packet data and a modulation scheme; using the first signal, the second signal, and a first predetermined signal to generate a first tuning signal; and using the first tuning signal to tune a first capacitor array coupled to the oscillator and a second tuning signal to tune a second capacitor array coupled to the oscillator such that (i) the oscillator generates a modulated RF signal indicative of the packet data and (ii) the modulated RF signal has a second frequency drift that is less than a threshold.

Abstract: Methods and systems described herein relate to broadcasting an advertisement event on a wireless channel. An example method includes generating, based on data, a data signal including one or more data packets, where each of the one or more data packets is a non-connectable and non-scannable data packet; generating an RF signal using an oscillator circuit; directly modulating the RF signal, based on the data signal, to generate a modulated RF signal; amplifying the modulated RF signal; broadcasting the amplified modulated RF signal on the wireless channel, where the amplified modulated RF signal is associated with the advertisement event.

Abstract: A low noise amplifier (LNA) system with controllable linearity and noise figure versus power consumption is provided. The system comprises two control inputs for tuning. One input controls an effective transistor width, and the other input controls bias current. Changes to the effective transistor width alter a gain that is applied to a signal, and changes to the bias current alter a power consumption of the system. For more stringent signal specifications, an impedance matched inductive degeneration variation of the LNA is provided.
