20160041570 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR LOW INPUT VOLTAGE BANDGAP REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE AND CIRCUITS - In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a bandgap reference circuit having a first bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that can receive a current from a node having a terminal voltage and can output a base emitter voltage. The apparatus also includes a second bipolar junction transistor (BJT) having a device width greater than a device width of the first BJT. The second BJT can receive a current from a node having a terminal voltage and output a base emitter voltage. In such embodiments, the apparatus also includes a reference generation circuit operatively coupled to the first BJT and the second BJT, where the reference generation circuit can generate a bandgap reference voltage based on the base emitter voltage of the first BJT and the base emitter voltage of the second BJT. | 02-11-2016 |
20150380935 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR POWERING DEVICES USING ENERGY FROM A COMMUNICATION BUS - In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a power source, a communication bus, a first electrical component connected to the power source and the communication bus, and a second electrical component connected to the communication bus. In such embodiments, the second electrical component can be to be powered by the communication bus such that performance of the communication bus does not fall below a specified performance for the communication bus. | 12-31-2015 |
20140269563 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION VIA A PREDEFINED SEQUENCE OF A CHANGE OF A CHARACTERISTIC OF A WIRELESS SIGNAL - In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a wireless receiver circuit that can receive a wireless signal from a wireless communication device that is (1) separate from the wireless receiver circuit and (2) can encode a first information according to a protocol. The wireless receiver circuit can detect a predefined sequence of changes of a characteristic within the wireless signal to decode, from the wireless signal, a second information mutually exclusive from the first information without decoding the first information. In such embodiments, the wireless receiver circuit can send the second information. | 09-18-2014 |
