20120112773 | System and method for on-chip resistorcalibration in semiconductor devices - According to one disclosed embodiment, an on-chip resistor calibration circuit includes an RC oscillator having a test resistor and a precision capacitor as elements, a counter, and a reference clock. In one embodiment, an RC oscillator generates a waveform having a period dependent upon the resistance of the test resistor and the capacitance of the precision capacitor. In such an embodiment, a counter and a reference clock may be configured to measure the period of the waveform. Using a pre-determined capacitance of the precision capacitor, a resistance of the test resistor may be determined. In another embodiment, an RC oscillator generates first and second waveforms through use of an additional capacitor that can be switched in and out of the RC oscillator circuit. Using a pre-determined capacitance of the precision capacitor, an RC product of the test resistor and the additional capacitor may be determined. | 05-10-2012 |

20090196375 | Supply independent Schmitt trigger RC oscillator - Embodiments of the present invention provide an oscillator circuit having a steady output frequency that is independent of the supplied voltage. This oscillator includes a Schmitt trigger circuit which may be implemented within an integrated circuit of a wireless terminal or other like portable electronic device. The Schmitt trigger circuit receives a threshold voltage input and a second voltage input. The Schmitt trigger circuit generates an output voltage equal to either a first output voltage or a second output voltage based on the results of comparing the threshold voltage input to the second voltage input. An RC network may be coupled to the output of the Schmitt trigger circuit and is operable to supply the second voltage input to the Schmitt trigger circuit. A voltage divider network also couples to the output of the Schmitt trigger circuit wherein the threshold voltage input is proportional to the first output voltage reduced by the voltage divider network based on the output voltage of the Schmitt trigger circuit. | 08-06-2009 |

20140329462 | REDUCING RECEIVER PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION DUE TO FREQUENCY COEXISTENCE - Systems and apparatuses are provided for negating the degradation effects of fundamental coupling between at least two near field communication (NFC) enabled devices, at least one of which can receive frequency modulation (FM) signals. Due to the fundamental coupling, strong NFC signals can mix with blocking signals associated with a desired/tuned-to FM frequency causing degradation in FM receiver performance. By utilizing a notch filter at the front end of the FM receiver, the degradation in FM receiver performance caused by the fundamental coupling phenomenon can be avoided. | 11-06-2014 |
