  • Publication number: 20230017433
    Abstract: An interleaved cascaded integrator-comb (“CIC”) filter receives an interleaved sensor output signal, including a plurality of digitized sensor signals at an input clock rate. An integrator of the interleaved CIC filter processes the interleaved signal to output an integrated interleaved signal. A downsampler of the interleaved CIC filter buffers portions of the integrated interleaved corresponding to a decimation rate for the interleaved signal. The portions of the signals are provided to a comb filter, which outputs a decimated interleaved signal.

  • Patent number: 11403068
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to determining a natural exponent from a digital word input by splitting the digital word, and retrieving a precalculated and predetermined value from a data store at an address defined by the first word. In an illustrative example, the retrieved value may be a hyperbolic sum. The hyperbolic sum may be multiplied by the second word. The hyperbolic sum may be scaled, and summed with the multiplication result to generate a scaled exponential value. The scaled exponential value may be scaled to produce an exponential value representing eX. In various examples, the digital word input may be in a fixed point or a floating point format, or converted therebetween. In various embodiments, the data store may be a lookup table. Various examples may provide a compact and versatile architecture for determining a natural exponent with minimized hardware resources.
