Embodiments relate to updating spur cancellation at a victim integrated circuit (IC) in accordance with dynamic changes in the operating frequencies of an aggressor IC. The aggressor IC changes its operating frequencies at an update time that is determined in advance. The update time and the changes to the operating frequencies are shared with the victim IC. The victim IC dynamically updates the relationships between frequencies of local clock signals for the victim IC and the aggressor IC. The victim IC generates a spur cancellation parameter based on the updated relationships of local clock frequencies, the update time and the changes to the operating frequencies of the aggressor IC, and configures a spur cancellation circuit. In this way, the victim IC may perform effective spur cancellation despite changes in the operating frequencies of the aggressor IC and deviation of the local clock frequencies.

Dynamic configuration of spur cancellation

Embodiments relate to identifying frequencies to be protected at a victim integrated circuit (IC) and sending protection information including the identified frequencies to an aggressor IC. The aggressor IC configures its subsystems or circuits to operate using operating frequencies that prevents spurs that may interfere with the frequencies identified in the protection information. If not all of the frequencies in the protection information can be protected, the aggressor IC selects a subset of the frequencies to be protected. Then, the aggressor IC configures the operating frequencies of its subsystems or circuits so that spurs that they generate do not interfere with the selected frequencies.

A device may be controlled using a fingerprint input. Data indicative of a fingerprint is received from a sensor. It is determined that the fingerprint is associated with a first finger profile that is usable to distinguish a first finger from other fingers of a user of the device. A user control that is associated with the finger profile is identified. The user control is configured to control a setting of a function executing on the device. The user control is input to control the first setting.

Input control using fingerprints

A memory arrangement includes an interface configured to transmit data in the form of data packets according to a predefined protocol. The memory arrangement includes at least two memory banks. Each memory bank includes at least one memory cell. The memory arrangement includes at least two memory bank access devices configured to facilitate accessing the data of the at least one memory cell of each of the at least two memory banks. The memory arrangement includes at least two data packet processing devices configured to encode and/or decode the data packets. The at least two data packet processing devices are assigned to different memory bank access devices.
