  • Patent number: 10778360
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to high accuracy timestamp support by controlling a first phase relationship between an outbound signal transmitted by a transmitting circuit and a local reference clock signal, measuring a second phase difference between a received data signal and the local reference signal, and measuring a third phase difference between a received time of day (RXTOD) signal and the local reference signal. In an illustrative example, a state machine circuit may be operated to control the first phase relationship, a phase measuring circuit may be configured to measure the second phase difference and the third phase difference. By comparing results obtained from phase control and phase measurement, the time of day (TOD) of each transmitted/received bit can be calculated at 1-bit level accuracy and achieve 1-bit level accuracy in the timestamp.

  • Patent number: 10760513
    Abstract: A method of increasing parasitic load on an internal combustion engine includes injecting a fuel into a combustion chamber of an active cylinder of the internal combustion engine, combusting the injected fuel in the combustion chamber of the active cylinder, and determining that increasing a temperature of an exhaust aftertreatment device is required. The method includes increasing a parasitic load on the internal combustion engine by deactivating a cylinder, wherein no fuel is injected in the deactivated cylinder for a combustion cycle of the internal combustion engine, and further increasing the parasitic load by pulsing a spill valve member of a spill valve of a fuel injector in the deactivated cylinder between a fully closed position and an at least partially open position.
