Patent number: 10140229Abstract: Triggered remote function calls can be used in master-slave systems to trigger slave-side software functions pre-loaded by a master into slave MCU memory, with associated parameters pre-loaded into a slave function interface memory. A master issues trigger-function signals (such as rising/falling edges or signal levels) over a trigger-function signal line. The slave includes a trigger conditioning block that in response issues a trigger-function request to the slave MCU, which calls/executes the associated software function, including accessing the associated trigger-function parameters from function interface memory. A slave can include a hardware function block with functionality configurable by a pre-loaded software configuration function (with associated parameters). A master can include a hardware function block configured to issue trigger-function signals.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2015Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Xiaoxi Zhang, Nikolaus Klemmer, Hunsoo Choo

Patent number: 9998169Abstract: A phase rotator corrects the IQ imbalance in a wireless transceiver. The phase rotator is a part of a compensation system that detects and separates reception impairment images from transmission impairment images. The disclosed phase rotator introduces a phase shift between the transmission channel and the reception channel without perturbing the phase mismatch and the gain mismatch in the reception path. The phase rotator includes a first local oscillation (LO) circuit that generates a first LO signal at a first carrier frequency and a second LO circuit that generates a second LO signal at a second carrier frequency that deviates from the first carrier frequency for a phase rotation period. The phase rotation period is sufficiently long such that the frequency deviation can introduce a prescribed phase shift between the first LO signal and the second LO signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Charles Kasimer Sestok, IV, Hunsoo Choo, Nikolaus Klemmer, Xiaoxi Zhang

Patent number: 7957461Abstract: Calibrating automatic test equipment (ATE) includes determining an offset between a reference timing event and a channel event, where the channel event is associated with a communication channel of the ATE, and adjusting signal transmission over the communication channel based on the offset. Determining the offset may include obtaining a first time at which a reference timing signal is received at a device associated with a reference timing source, obtaining a second time at which the reference timing signal is received at a device associated with the communication channel, obtaining a third time at which a channel signal is received at the device associated with the communication channel, obtaining a fourth time at which the channel signal is received at the device associated with the reference timing source, and calculating the offset using the first time, the second time, the third time, and the fourth time.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2005Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Teradyne, Inc.Inventors: Li Huang, Timothy Derksen, Xiaoxi Zhang, Charles Evans Crapuchettes, Stephen Hauptman
