  • Patent number: 11294421
    Abstract: An integrated circuit system comprises first and second processing modules. The first processing module comprises a first processor, clock and memory; and the second processing module comprises a second processor, clock and memory. The first processing module sends a time-mark signal to the second processing module and stores to the first memory a first value of the first clock at which the signal was sent. The second processing module stores to the second memory a second value of the second clock at which the signal was received. The first processing module sends a command to the second processing module, wherein said command includes an execution time for a task relative to the first value. The second processing module determines the execution time for said task relative to the second value and executes said task at said execution time.

  • Patent number: 10733117
    Abstract: A radio frequency transceiver device comprises a control register unit including one or more registers and a central processing unit arranged to access the one or more registers via a memory bus. The device also comprises a sequencer module comprising one or more configuration registers connected to the central processing unit via a control bus and also comprises one or more trigger inputs. A sequencer memory module is connected to the sequencer module and is arranged to store one or more read/write commands comprising instructions to read from and/or write to the registers within the control register unit. The sequencer module is arranged such that upon receiving a trigger event via at least one of the one or more trigger inputs, it executes the one or more read/write commands.
