A communication circuit supports a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol that is different from the first communication protocol. A number of signals include first signals conveying first information messages and second signals conveying second information messages. The first information messages include a repetitive message having fixed repeated content and the second information messages include a non-repetitive message having variable content. The first signals and the second signals are transmitted via the communication circuit using the first communication protocol for the first signals and the second communication protocol for the second signals.

Method of communicating information and corresponding device and system

The present disclosure is directed to a method and system for compensating mismatches among sub-converters in a time interleaved analog digital converter structure. A digital finite impulse response (FIR) equalization filtering unit is coupled to outputs of the sub-converters. The FIR filtering unit includes a digital FIR filter dedicated to each sub-converter. The FIR filtering coefficient is adapted specifically for each sub-converter to achieve a compensation for sub-converter mismatches and inter-symbol interference (ISI) equalization.
