Abstract: A radar system may include a set of analog components to perform one or more radio frequency (RF) operations during an active radar phase of the radar system. The radar system may include a set of digital components to perform one or more digital processing operations during at least a digital processing phase of the radar system. The one or more digital processing operations may be performed such that performance of the one or more digital processing operations does not overlap performance of a substantive portion of the one or more RF operations.

Abstract: A circuit for detecting a signal disturbance comprising a high-pass filter, a comparator, an asynchronous counter, a synchronizer, and processing circuitry. The high-pass filter is configured to generate a filtered signal from a monitored signal. The comparator is configured to generate a compare result signal based on a comparison of the filtered signal and a threshold reference. The asynchronous counter is configured to generate a count value of threshold crossings based on the compare result signal. The synchronizer is configured to generate a synchronous output signal for storage at digital memory that is based on the count signal value. The processing circuitry is configured to determine that a disturbance has occurred at the monitored signal based on the synchronous output signal.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a data processing device is described including a non-volatile memory configured to store configuration data for the data processing device, a volatile memory and a control system configured to copy the configuration data from the non-volatile memory to a section of the volatile memory, block writing to the section of the volatile memory and to put the data processing device into a hibernation mode in which the non-volatile memory is inactive and the volatile memory is active.
