  • Publication number: 20240105346
    Abstract: A message processing facility is described. The facility receives user input defining a textual message intended for an addressee service principal. Before sending the defined textual message, the facility analyzes the defined textual message to determine a textual message category to which the defined textual message belongs among a plurality of textual message categories.

  • Patent number: 11863193
    Abstract: A system includes a ring oscillator including an odd number of inverters arranged in a ring. The system also includes a time to digital converter including an odd number of flops, where each of the flops is coupled to an output of a different inverter. The system includes a level shifter coupled to the inverters and to the flops. The system also includes a Gray counter coupled to at least one of the flops. The system includes a decoder coupled to the time to digital converter. The system also includes a phase frequency detector coupled to the decoder.

  • Patent number: 11811411
    Abstract: A glitch filter system includes an input stage to receive an input signal, a first output to provide a first digital signal, and a second output to provide a second digital signal. A C-element of such system receives the first digital signal and the second digital signal and provides a third digital signal at a first logic state in response to each of the first and second digital signals having a second logic state opposite the first logic state. An output latch of such system provides an output signal at the second logic state in response to the first logic state of the third digital. The output latch also receives the first and second digital signals to maintain the first logic state of the third digital signal in response to one of the first and second digital signals changing from the second logic state to the first logic state.

  • Publication number: 20230205256
    Abstract: An electronic circuit includes an oscillator circuit, a first divider circuit, a synchronization control circuit, and a peripheral circuit. The oscillator circuit is configured to generate a base frequency clock. The first divider circuit is configured to divide the base frequency clock by a first selectable divisor to generate a divided clock. The synchronization control circuit is configured to generate a synchronization pulse that controls a change of the first selectable divisor in the first divider circuit from a first value to a second value. A pulse width of the synchronization pulse is based on the first value of the first selectable divisor. The peripheral circuit is coupled to the first divider circuit and the synchronization control circuit. The peripheral circuit includes a second divider circuit. The second divider circuit divides the divided clock by a second selectable divisor, and change the second selectable divisor responsive to the synchronization pulse.
