  • Patent number: 10871382
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to configuring a configurable hardware module to perform a measurement of a physical quantity. A configuration manager may receive an indication of the physical quantity and performance factor data describing the measurement of the physical quantity. The configuration manager may generate a hardware configuration of the hardware based at least in part on the indication of the physical quantity and the performance factor data. The hardware configuration may comprise instruction data to configure the hardware module to execute a dynamic measurement of the physical quantity. The configuration manager may also generate configuration data describing the hardware configuration, wherein the configuration data comprises simulation data comprising input parameters for a simulation of the hardware configuration and hardware configuration data for configuring a hardware module to implement at least a portion of the hardware configuration.

  • Publication number: 20140253176
    Abstract: A ping pong comparator voltage monitoring circuit which includes first and second comparators having inputs connected to a voltage Vin to be monitored, and second inputs connected to first and second nodes, respectively. A multiplexer alternately couples the first and second comparator outputs to an output in response to a periodic control signal. A ground-referenced voltage Vref1 is provided at a third node and a voltage Vref2 referenced to Vref1 is at a fourth node. A hysteresis hyst1 is switchably connected between the third and first nodes, and a hysteresis hyst2 is switchably connected between the fourth and second nodes. Hyst1 and hyst2 are switched in when the mux output toggles due to a rising Vin, and are switched out when the mux output toggles due to a falling Vin.
