Abstract: The present invention relates generally to functional pathway configurations at the interfaces between integrated circuits (ICs) and the circuit assemblies with which the ICs communicate. More particularly, the present invention relates generally to the functional pathway configuration at the interface between a digital device and a radio frequency device (wireless RF digital device), and the circuitry of a system including the packaged devices. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to a wireless radio frequency digital device functional pathway configuration for the interface between the wireless radio frequency digital device and a system in which the wireless radio frequency digital device is embedded.

Abstract: A wireless control and/or data acquisition system in an integrated circuit comprises a digital device and a wireless device, e.g., a radio frequency (RF) device, an infrared device (IrDA), etc. A micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) device may also be included in the integrated circuit package. The MEM may be used as a sensor, non-volatile memory, a filter, a frequency determining resonator, and/or a control device in combination with the digital device. The digital device and RF device may have independent power and signal connections for signal isolation between the digital device and RF device. Standby and sleep modes for the digital device and RF device reduce power consumption and low voltage operation enables the use of a simple battery power source.
