    Abstract: A gate bias circuit for a plurality of GaAs amplifier stages is a transistor coupled to a temperature compensation current received from a CMOS control stage. A plurality of pHEMPT amplifier stages are coupled to the gate bias circuit and to a control voltage which switches the amplifier stage. A selectively controlled stage pass transistor enables a current mirror between the gate bias circuit and each stage amplifying transistor. The penultimate pHEMPT amplifier stage is coupled to a CMOS amplifier. A CMOS circuit provides both the temperature compensation current by a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) circuit and the control voltage enabling each pHEMPT transistor to receive its input signal in combination with the gate bias voltage.

  • STATE-BASED DECODING OF PRODUCT CODES
    Publication number: 20180269905
    Abstract: Techniques for reducing the latency for decoding product codewords with minimal hardware architecture changes are described. In an example, multiple decoding procedures are available a system. The system maintains decoding states. Each decoding state corresponds to a constiuent codeword of a product codeword and to a decoding procecure. For instance, a BCH decoding state indicates whether the decoding of the respective BCH constituent codeword has previously failed. The decoding of the product codeword depends on the various decoding state. For instance, in a BCH decoding iteration, if a BCH decoding state of a constitutent codeword is set to “failed,” the BCH decoding of that codeword is skipped.

  • SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY DEVICE
    Publication number: 20180254707
    Abstract: A switching power supply device generates a DC output voltage based on a DC input voltage, and includes n converter units and a control unit. The control unit executes first driving control that drives k1 (where 0?k1<n) out of the n converter units when the DC output voltage has risen to an upper limit value of the reference voltage range and second driving control that drives k2 (where k1<k2?n) out of the n converter units when the DC output voltage has fallen to a lower limit value of the reference voltage range. During the first driving control, if the DC output voltage Vo reaches a first value above the upper limit value, k1 and k2 are decreased by a value k0. During the second driving control, if the DC output voltage Vo reaches a second value below the lower limit value, k1 and k2 are increased by the value k0.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for optimizing a parity-check matrix for a low density parity check (LDPC) encoder. In an example, a first parity-check matrix is accessed. Based on a set of rules, an independent set of check nodes and variable nodes is determined. The set of rules specifies that a check node associated with the first parity-check matrix belongs to the independent set when the check node is connected to only one variable node from the independent set. The set of rules further specifies that a variable node associated with the first parity-check matrix belongs to the independent set when the variable node is connected to only one check node from the independent set. A size of the independent set is based on the set of rules. A second parity-check matrix is generated by at least applying a permutation to the first parity-check matrix based on the independent set.
