An system includes a port to receive a number of bits at a first frequency. One or more cells generate a signal for a channel with a channel frequency that is N times greater than the first frequency. The cells transmit at a second frequency that is M times greater than the first frequency but is smaller than the channel frequency. Interface links are coupled between a portion of the input bits of the port and the one or more cells and the portion of the input bits is encoded by thermometer coded T bits such that each one of the T bits is encoded by M repeated parallel bits having a value of a respective T bit. Each interface link includes M interface lines between each T bit and each first cell, and M is smaller than N to reduce the number of interface lines for the T bits.

Hybrid rate interface to reduce power consumption and area in high-speed DACs and digital transmitters

A transmitter includes a first digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit consisting of a first set of unary cells to mix a first set of digital input data with a first clock signal. A second DAC circuit includes a second set of unary cells to mix a second set of digital input data with a second clock signal. A third circuit provides signals to the first DAC circuit and the second DAC circuit to implement an assignment scheme to assign either an in-phase (I) component or a quadrature (Q) component to the first set of unary cells and the second set of unary cells. Based on the assignment scheme, the first set of digital input data include I-data and Q-data, and the second set of digital input data include I-data and Q-data.

Method and system for a networked self-configuring communication device utilizing user preference information

A wireless communication device includes an antenna to receive a signal, a low noise amplifier, and circuitry that determines the power level of the signal. The circuitry also determines whether the signal includes a packet, and causes the low noise amplifier to amplify the signal when the signal includes a packet and the power level of the signal is below a threshold. The circuitry also causes the low noise amplifier to be bypassed when the signal does not include a packet, or the power level of the signal is above the predetermined threshold and the signal includes a packet.
