Time-level encoding on pulse rising and falling edges replaces ADC/DAC stages to cut power while supporting Gbps data links.
Using the same periodic binary signals across modes keeps phase shifts deterministic, stabilizes PLL load, and cuts switching power.
Pre-generated delayed clocks enable fast frequency switching during power fluctuations, preventing timing errors without extra PLLs.
Hybrid M-PPM, M-PAM, and M-PSK impulse generation raises UWB data rate while cutting transmitter power and preserving precise pulse timing.
Edge-timing modulation encodes data from clock and pulse transitions to cut ADC/DAC power while supporting faster, reliable links.
Shared clock drivers and asymmetrical cell rows cut flip-flop power, area, and routing congestion in dense synchronous IC layouts.
Asymmetrical cell rows let multi-bit flip-flops share clock drivers while cutting routing congestion, power use, and connection count.
Clipping a combined multi-source signal creates a comb reference with finer frequency resolution and stable phase and amplitude for fast calibration.
Clocked current sources and a current mirror stabilize Schmitt trigger thresholds across PVT variation while eliminating static DC current.
Embedded clock information in C-PHY signals is used to calibrate skew, detect unit intervals, and recover accurate clock and data.
Stable voltage and current bias a crystal oscillator in the sub-threshold region to cut power use, speed startup, and limit PVT drift.
A diode-drop latch and feedback assist help shift ultra-low core voltage to higher output levels without oversized transistors.
