Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090083600Systems and methods for critical node filtering of integrated circuits - Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products for performing silicon debugging and isolating faults in integrated circuits are disclosed. Some embodiments comprise a simulator to simulate operation of one or more portions of a circuit in order to identify elements of the circuit which are related to a fault, a circuit pruner to separate the related elements from other elements of the circuit and correlate the related elements to a physical layout of the elements, and a probe tool to locate one or more of the related elements which cause or contribute to the fault. Alternative embodiments may comprise computer programs for simulating operation of a circuit to determine related elements of a fault, correlating the related elements to a physical layout or arrangement of the elements in the circuit, and testing the related elements via the physical layout to determine which elements contribute to the fault.03-26-2009

20080238435INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TESTING WITH LASER STIMULATION AND EMISSION ANALYSIS - A diagnostic tool for testing an integrated circuit device directs a beam of laser energy to stimulate at least a portion of the device. In one mode, electromagnetic waves from said device may be detected at the same time in response to the stimulation. A processor collects image data and determines as a function of the collected image data whether the device has a defect. Other embodiments are described and claimed.10-02-2008

20090243727Compensating for non-linear capacitance effects in a power amplifier - In one implementation, a power amplifier may include a gain device to receive an input signal and to output an amplified signal, and a compensation device coupled to the gain device to compensate for a change in a capacitance of the gain device occurring due to a change in the input signal. The power amplifier may be formed using a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process.10-01-2009
20090256631Providing pre-distortion to an input signal - In one implementation, the present invention includes a diode device to receive an incoming radio frequency (RF) signal to be amplified in a gain device of an amplifier and to provide a pre-distorted signal. Based on this pre-distorted signal, the gain device can output an amplified RF signal having substantial linearity to the incoming RF signal.10-15-2009
20090273397Controlling power with an output network - In one embodiment, the present invention includes multiple gain stages and an output network coupled to the gain stages. Each of the gain stages can be independently controlled to amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal to an output power level for transmission from a mobile wireless device. When controlled to be inactive, at least one of the gain stages can be placed into a low impedance state.11-05-2009
20090278609Supply control for multiple power modes of a power amplifier - In one embodiment, the present invention includes an apparatus having at least two gain stages to receive incoming signals and to output amplified signals, along with multiple regulators. More specifically, a linear regulator can be coupled to the first gain stage to provide a first regulated voltage to the first gain stage, and a switching regulator coupled to the second gain stage to provide a second regulated voltage to the second gain stage.11-12-2009
20100085119Generating A Process And Temperature Tracking Bias Voltage - In one embodiment, a method includes generating a current that is proportional to a mobility and an oxide capacitance of a tracking device and independent of a threshold voltage variation of the tracking device, generating a voltage from the current, and providing the voltage as at least part of a bias voltage for another device. In one embodiment, this other device may be a compensation circuit coupled to a main device to compensate for capacitance non-linearity of the main device.04-08-2010
20100164621OUTPUT GAIN STAGE FOR A POWER AMPLIFIER - In one embodiment, the present invention includes multiple gain stages to receive and amplify a differential input signal at different common mode voltages. The stages each may include a pair of linear NMOS gain transistors coupled to a primary coil of a given output transformer. One of the stages may include commonly coupled terminals coupled to a center tap of the primary coil of an output transformer of another stage, and a supply current provided to one of the stages is re-used for the other stage(s).07-01-2010
20110074509NON-LINEAR CAPACITANCE COMPENSATION - Embodiments are directed to capacitance compensation via a compensation device coupled to a gain device to compensate for a capacitance change occurring due to an input signal change, along with a controller coupled to the compensation device to receive the input signal and to control an amount of compensation based on the input signal. In some embodiments, banks may be formed of multiple compensation devices, where each of the banks has a different size and is coupled to receive a different set of bias voltages.03-31-2011

20100192211Revocable Object Access - Techniques are described to provide revocable object access. In an implementation, a user may provide content and an object (e.g., a picture) to be published with the content. The object is uploaded to a storage location, and a uniform resource locator (URL) that includes a token is generated for the object. The token is registered in an access control list (ACL), and token permission settings in the ACL are utilized to control access to the object. The URL may be embedded in the content. When a viewer requests the content, the object may be retrieved from the storage location using the URL. The user may revoke access to the object by changing the token permission settings in the ACL.07-29-2010
