Various implementations described herein are directed to multi-stage system. The system may include a first stage having a current bias generator that generates a biasing current. The system may include a second stage that is coupled to the first stage, and the second stage may include a load that utilizes the biasing current generated by the current bias generator.

System, device and method for generating a biasing current

Subject matter disclosed herein may relate to detecting wireless signals and/or signal packets and may relate more particularly to detecting wireless signals and/or signal packets at energy-harvesting devices.

Device and/or method for wireless signal detection

Various implementations described herein refer to an integrated circuit having a first stage and a second stage. The first stage has a step-down converter coupled to an oscillator between a first voltage supply and a second voltage supply. The second stage is coupled to the first stage, and the second stage has a current bias generator coupled to a diode-connected transistor between the first voltage supply and the second voltage supply. The second stage provides an intermediate voltage to the first stage.

Integrated oscillator

Various implementations described herein refer to a method for providing an integrated circuit with a real-time clock source. The method may include generating a real-time clock signal for the integrated circuit with the real-time clock source. The method may include selectively adjusting clock frequency of the real-time clock signal to save power in the integrated circuit.

Clock adjusting techniques

Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having a voltage regulator that uses a modulator to adjust an output voltage. The device may include a time-to-digital converter that measures a timing delay of a logic chain, compares the timing delay to a reference delay to determine a timing delay error, and provides the timing delay error to the modulator for adjusting the output voltage.

Performance regulation techniques

A temperature sensor configured to generate a temperature-indicating signal with improved accuracy over a wide temperature range is disclosed. The temperature sensor includes a first oscillator configured to generate a first oscillating signal with a first frequency that varies with a sensed temperature and a reference parameter; a second oscillator configured to generate a second oscillating signal with a second frequency that varies with the reference parameter; and a time-to-digital converter (TDC) configured to generate a digital output indicative of the sensed temperature based on a ratio of the first frequency to the second frequency. Because the first and second frequencies depend on the reference parameter, and the temperature-indicating signal is a function of the ratio of the first and second frequencies, temperature-variation in the reference parameter cancels out in the temperature-indicating signal.
