  • Dynamically configurable wireless data bus switch for coupling a data bus to a wireless link
    Patent number: 8626982
    Abstract: Provided is a dynamically configurable wireless data bus switch for coupling a data bus to a wireless link. For example, there is a dynamically configurable wireless data bus switch including a configurable protocol adaption layer data plane providing a first interface to a data bus and a processor configured to execute a protocol adaption layer control plane. The configurable protocol adaption layer data plane of the dynamically configurable wireless data bus switch is coupled to the processor and is dynamically configurable by the protocol adaption layer control plane.

  • Method and system for a single chip integrated Bluetooth and FM transceiver and baseband processor
    Patent number: 8285205
    Abstract: A method and system for a single chip integrated Bluetooth and FM transceiver and baseband processor are provided. The single chip may comprise a Bluetooth radio, an FM radio, a processor system, and a peripheral transport unit (PTU). FM data may be received and/or transmitted via the FM radio and Bluetooth data may be received and/or transmitted via the Bluetooth radio. The FM radio may receive radio data system (RDS) data. The PTU may support digital and analog interfaces. A processor in the processor system may time-multiplex processing of FM data and processing of Bluetooth data. The single chip may operate in an FM-only, a Bluetooth-only, and an FM-Bluetooth mode. The single chip may reduce power consumption by disabling portions of the Bluetooth radio during FM-only mode and/or disabling analog circuitry when performing digital processing. Communication between Bluetooth and FM channels may be enabled via the single chip.
