Patents by Inventor Tarjei Aaberge

Tarjei Aaberge has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230418238
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for an apparatus comprising a time-to-digital converter (TDC) and a processor coupled to the TDC. In some examples, the TDC may be configured to receive a signal and generate a measurement result indicating a time between start and stop events of the signal. The processor may be configured to receive the measurement result, compare the measurement result to a target value, and determine a non-linearity model configured to correct a variance of the measurement result from the target value.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20230384820
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for an apparatus. In an example, the apparatus includes a clock switching circuit coupled to oscillators and one or more circuit units. The clock switching circuit is configured to receive, from the oscillators, a set of frequency signals, provide an uplink primary clock signal and an enable signal to the one or more circuit units, the enable signal determined synchronously with the uplink primary clock signal, receive, from the one or more circuit units or a clock management circuit, a clock frequency request, provide the uplink primary clock signal based on a first signal of the set of frequency signals, and according to the clock frequency request, determining whether to continue to provide the uplink primary clock signal based on the first signal or on a second signal of the set of frequency signals.

  • Publication number: 20230208425
    Abstract: In described examples, an electronic circuit for determining a phase difference between a first clock signal and a second clock signal includes a timer circuit, circuitry for generating a selectively delayed transition of the second clock signal, and phase determination circuitry. The timer circuit produces an elapsed time between a transition of the first clock signal and the selectively delayed transition of the second clock signal. The circuitry for generating the selectively delayed transition of the second clock signal generates the selectively delayed transition in response to a random selection of a respective output from a plurality of second clock signal delay stages. The phase determination circuitry provides the phase difference in response to the elapsed time and the random selection of a respective output from a plurality of second clock signal delay stages.
