Patent number: 7812750Abstract: Embodiments provide apparatuses, systems, and methods to convert an analog signal input into a sigma-delta digital output at a high sampling rate and correct for noise components of the digital output. An analog filter coupled to a sigma-delta converter accepts a noise-shaped analog signal from the sigma-delta converter to attenuate signal components of the noise-shaped analog signal at a plurality of folding frequencies associated with a sampling rate of a low-speed Analog-To-Digital (ADC) to produce a filtered output. The low-speed ADC is coupled to an output of the analog filter and samples the filtered output of the analog filter at a sampling rate slower than the high sample rate to output an ADC digital output. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2008Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Hasnain Lakdawala, Soumyanath Krishnamurthy

Patent number: 7609792Abstract: A multichip transceiver operates as part of a multiple-input multiple-output communication system. First receiver circuitry on a first integrated circuit processes radio-frequency (RF) signals received from a first signal source, and second receiver circuitry on a second integrated circuit processes RF signals received from a second signal source. Clock-signal generating circuitry provides clock signals through phase-matched paths to the first and second receiver circuitry.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2005Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Georgios Palaskas, Ashoke Ravi, Soumyanath Krishnamurthy, Richard B.

Patent number: 7576621Abstract: Film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARS) have resonant frequencies that vary with manufacturing variations, but tend to be matched when in proximity on an integrated circuit die. FBAR resonant frequency is determined using a fractional-N synthesizer and comparing phase/frequency of an output signal from the fractional-N synthesizer to a reference. The reference may be derived from a low frequency crystal oscillator, an external signal source, or a communications signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2007Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Hasnain Lakdawala, Ofir Degani, Ashoke Ravi, Masoud Sajadieh, Soumyanath Krishnamurthy

Publication number: 20090161802Abstract: A receiver and a method for controlling power consumption therein are disclosed. The receiver comprises at least one front-end module, an amplifier, an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) module, a spectrum analyzer and a control module. The at least one front-module is configured to receive and process a RF signal to obtain an IF signal. The amplifier is configured to amplify the IF signal received from the at least one front-end module with a variable gain. The ADC module receives the amplified IF signal and converts into a digital signal. Further, the spectrum analyzer estimates a power level of a signal information and a power level of a noise in the digital signal. Thereafter, the control module controls a variable gain of the amplifier and a variable dynamic range of the ADC based on the power level of the signal information and the noise in the digital signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2007Publication date: June 25, 2009Applicant: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Pukar Malla, Hasnain Lakdawala, Soumyanath Krishnamurthy

Patent number: 6366122Abstract: A signal driver circuit uses a single power supply to provide differential low voltage swing signals for use in an integrated circuit. The driver reduces interconnect voltage swing and power consumption, while improving the speed performance of the interconnect. The driver includes series coupled drive transistors to provide differential signals on integrated circuit interconnects. The driver circuit can include circuitry to place the interconnects in a tri-state condition to allow for shared interconnects. An integrated circuit, such as a processor, includes first and second differential interconnects, a receiver circuit connected to the first and second differential interconnects for detecting a differential voltage provided thereon, and a driver circuit connected to the first and second differential interconnects for providing the differential voltage.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2000Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Ram K.
