Publication number: 20230327657Abstract: An electronic device comprises a synchronisation system that receives a signal clocked by a first clock signal having a first frequency and receives a second clock signal having said first frequency, but offset in phase from the first clock signal. The signal is delayed by an adjustable delay period. It is determined whether, following a logic transition in the delayed signal, the next clock edge received is an active edge or is a non-active edge. A calibration controller increases the delay period when the next clock edge is a non-active edge and maintains or decreases the delay period when the next clock edge is an active edge, or decreases the delay period when the next clock edge is an active edge and maintains or increases the delay period when the next clock edge is a non-active edge.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Nordic Semiconductor ASAInventor: Ruben Undheim

Patent number: 10855499Abstract: A radio receiver device is arranged to receive a radio signal modulated with a data packet including an address portion. The radio receiver comprises: a synchronisation circuit portion arranged to produce synchronization information corresponding to the data packet; a demodulation circuit portion comprising a correlator, wherein said demodulation circuit portion is arranged to receive the radio signal and to produce an estimate of the address portion comprising a plurality of demodulated bits using said correlator and the synchronisation information; an address checking circuit portion arranged to receive the plurality of demodulated bits, to check said plurality of demodulated bits for a predetermined bit pattern, and to produce a match flag if it determines that the plurality of demodulated bits corresponds to the predetermined bit pattern.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Nordic Semiconductor ASAInventors: Eivind Sjøgren Olsen, Sverre Wichlund, Ruben Undheim, Meng Cai

Patent number: 10727667Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device comprises at least first and second circuits said first and second circuits being connected to a shared external connection. The device further comprises a voltage clamp that is operable to limit a voltage at the shared external connection. The voltage clamp can be selectively enabled depending upon whether the first or second circuit is being used.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: NORDIC SEMICONDUCTOR ASAInventors: Tore Austad, Carsten Wulff, Ruben Undheim
